It's kind of makes me think that you're making fun of younger people but you're also still trying to be down with the kids.

It makes me cringe each time I see it on here.

But then I also chringe when I see the word "fred" and "quiche"

I'm from Croydon. I was saying innit when it was all trees around here.

Someone posted a photo on Facebook, and captioned it - what peng weather we're having.

I had to stop myself from commenting ... no-one says peng anymore. Especially people over the age of 15.

i've never come across 'peng' what does that mean?

BlondeLuxLisbon · 05/04/2013 15:29

Peng ... good looking etc.

So peng weather would be really good weather.

But it's being down the yoof, innit?

(Someone had to say it.)

I say innit, in a kind of piss takey way.

I like to say Peng to wind up my DS.

BlondeLuxLisbon · 05/04/2013 15:38

That's the kind of why I mean usual

It's like piss taking but still trying to be cool. It just makes me cringe.

Yes, innit is not exactly a new word.

some people say quiche instead of clique on here.

I have no idea why or why it's even remotely funny.

And people use the fred instead of thread

  • is this a fred about fred? - Hilarious.
