Spenny? 😖 Bargs?! 😤

[Snowdrops38]

And other terms that (probably irrationally) irritate the hell out of you.

These are my two. I think spenny just takes the edge for me. I've heard it so many times, just today!

Fully expecting to be told I need new things to be irritated by etc, but this is only supposed to be lighthearted.

What are yours?

My young person work friend uses spenny, in fact I pick up all sorts of slang from her. I do love modern slang!

I managed to invent a whole new word at the weekend when my brain mashed together chocolate animals and made chocomals. It is now an official word in our house 😂

I’ve just finished binge watching Kath and Kim and only worked out on the last episode that ‘exy’ means expensive 🙄

I’m using it with impunity now to wind DS and DP up.

What is menty b or nervy b ??

Mental breakdown. Or nervous breakdown.
These are grim.

😆

These are so funny 🤣

I work with a much younger colleague who uses a lot of these phrases 😂
One day last week I had a go and my computer, turned to her and said, “this is so shit.” She replied with one word. “Facts.”
She uses spenny and other very random works. Peek being one of them. (Peak? Pique? Not a clue what it means 🙈 - I think I guessed from the rest of the sentence that it means bad but I can’t be sure now)

Can you use it in a sentence?

I have fo sho used most of these ironically but spenny I learnt from an elderly cockney relative who had been using it since pre ww1. Most of the others were bare pops in the early 00s Norf Landan middle class teenagers. Not platty jubes, obvs.

I'm early 40s and have heard/ used spenny for the best part of a decade. That one isn't new.

@Crumpledstilstkin she uses it as a sentence in itself 😂.
me: the coffee machine is making a weird noise.
her: peak

but also i suspect it means bad as she told me something crappy the other day and finished it by saying, “it’s so peak.”

However it might mean something good as she said that her mum had bought her some peak makeup 🤣 I suppose it could also be bad makeup?!

anyway, she’s a lot of fun and we laugh so much most of the day, it’s just like learning a new language!!

Im on twitter and have learned all sorts of young person talk

Based
Ratio
Cope/copium

One from Depop Drama (Instagram account) last week: inny wimmy.

Yes that is apparently International Women's Day.

My bad. Drives me insane

I know it's not new but hate it when people say good things are "sick"

@TheChosenTwo ooh that's a different use, I've only heard it being used like something that's at an extreme. So we've reached peak stuff is a big one just meaning it's all got a bit out of hand. Young people eh 🤣

That's sooo lazy. And then they have to explain what it is anyway 🙈

I'm on twitter and have no idea what the above means! 😂

Hate it when people say " I am legit doing ......"

See also "lowkey"

I saw “sketty” for spaghetti the other day, and it annoyed me far more than was necessary.

My children use terms like Peak and Ratio. I will occasionally use them to embarrass the offspring when they are with their friends.

@WimbyAce

Based. Apparently you've done or said a really good thing

Ratioed. I think when the number of negative comments outweighs the likes on a tweet. Usually used for Russian diplomats tweets

Cope. Deal with it. Get over it.

I love the sound of your work colleague! I wish I worked with her

It's SPENDY, surely? It's IS spendy, people are just mistaken being a bit thick!

**it IS
