We haven't had one of these in a while.
I have DC 13 and 15 and we are in a very 'naice' part of London. No matter - they think they are gansta, so I make it my business to try and keep on top of their roadman chat. Some of the ones below have been around for a couple off years and seem to be on the way out but I've tried to include every ridiculous turn of phrase I've heard in the last six months.
PLEASE ADD MORE . We can then collectively become fluent in Teenspeak
Leng: Derivative of ‘Peng’ – same meaning of really attractive/nice/fit
Say Less Understood / Great – you don’t need to say another word. I get it and it’s good.
Drip: Money/Flash/Rich/Expensive. Your trainers are Drip! Check my Drip
Peak: Still very much in evidence – meaning rubbish/awful. Bare Peak is REALLY rubbish.
Lit: On it’s way out I think, but meaning ‘banging/good’. The party was Lit
G-Dot – to do something stupid – esp whilst drunk or high
