Mumsnet Talk

DB constantly uses the word 'sick' when talking about something wonderful as apparently this is the word in vogue at the moment. Which terminologies have you heard recently that are in fashion? Doesnt have to be just youth culture, it can be technology, amercanisms in UK or just modern life finding its way into the English dictionary.

Just to continue, also what are some new words that we use everyday that never existed some years ago ie: texting/emailing

bare; meaning many, much, lots of, very... as in there were bare girls at the party = there were lots of girls at the party or I was bare hungry = I was very hungry...

Just thought of another one that we couldn't have used when we were young - bbm used as a verb - my friend just bbm'ed me (sounded as booboomed, like Basil Brush), meaning blackberry-messaged. I'm going to bbm him (blackberry message him). I put the apostrophe in the first one so you could see the conjugation of the verb.
