What ever does it mean? Keeps coming up in conversation between DD and her friends?

Ah jollymum, that fits right in because her and her friends are usually refering to boys when I hear it!(they're only 11 )

Have just weedled it out of her, apparently it means "fit", why can't they just say cute or good looking!

It means 'really good', in all sorts of contexts. I've not heard it used to mean 'good looking', but I guess it could. Its opposite is 'deng', meaning really bad or disgusting!

And similar to leng, which means good.

peng is fit/nice - a boy or dinner can be "well peng". The opposite is leng.

I have a teenage niece and am forever trying to decipher her fb statuses Grin

Round here, 'peng a leng' means something like 'extra peng'/'extra good' :) Here's peng-a-leng in the Urban Dictionary!. SO do other phrases like 'well peng', 'pengalicious' and 'peng-ass'! Grin

'Deng' is definitely horrible or ugly! And here's deng in the Urban Dictionary
