Aibu to disown dd if she responds to one more of my questions with "Nah mate".

[calamityjam]

Seriously, teach me to speak roadman so I can embarrass my 14 year old dd

What on earth is ‘halal ting’?

If this is partly an east London ting how come they all use it in east Leeds too?

I’m getting so old

I don't even get a 'mate'. I only get a Kevin and Perry 'grunt'

We’ve escaped it so far. Long may that last.

We had a few ‘Whatever’s being ‘tried out’. Thankfully my raised eye brow still works a charm & I’ve not heard it since 😂

...there’s time, she’s only 12 😖😫

Its rife in the south Manchester suburbs also

Halal ting

Something which is allowed. Nothing to do with Halal though. Your mum saying you can go to a party...it’s a halal ting

You're welcome. Very out of date, probably. 'Bare' was around bare years ago.

London kids have the cringiest teen slang / accent going. It makes me die inside! I used to watch the blogger caroline hirons and she started doing the ‘yes mate’ thing in a certain accent being serious and i could never watch her again.

'Where you at homeslice' is the funniest thing I've read today

It sounds quite affectionate!

Loving 'halal ting'

Also the 'where you at homeslice', I think I'd quite like to be called a homeslice!

My DH talks like this. He's nearly 50.

Dd messaged o me I swear down it was literally legit said.... she was 18 years old nd is a scottish girl I messaged back please do not speak to me again ever

He's from South London and the oldest grimestar in town. I hate being called famalam, especially in public.

This speak reminds of Rastamouse

my children are little, I have all this to come

wait, what?!

Sweet blud,sweet.best said in a mockney norf lundin drawl.when not in London
I live in an affluent area,and all the posh kids ting this and dat it’s particularly funny.dem getting all stormzy

Dh has a work colleague who talks like this. He’s 43. And single.

We are in Central Scotland and have escaped the worst of this, fortunately
Ds will ask "happenin?" and calls me "mawbags" which makes me laugh, especially when he thuds his 6 foot 2 body down on the bed beside me, ruffles my hair and says "happenin mawbags?".
When threatened with anything if he doesn't do what he has been asked to do, he raises his fists (jokingly), dances round me and says "Mon then!" which ends up in a tickling match. Blimey he's strong now though.The first time he did it DH appeared at the wrong moment, misunderstood the situation entirely and bellowed "don't you DARE raise your hands to your mother or any woman!!". Poor DS was mortified. innit.

My g’s, I’m 30 and all da girls and the man dem were talking like this back in the day. It’s nothin new. We used to cotch round each other’s yards all day listening to sick tunes and talking about who was lipsin who. Sometimes people could be jarring and then there might of been beef but it’s all long fam, best to just ‘low it and crack bare joke

End phone calls and conversations with say nuttin' or say no more

DD uses "Fam" but apparently in an ironic sense

I do however get "Wait, wut?" a lot. By speech and text and spelt exactly like that. Or worse, "W8, wt?"

FFS.

My DDs use 'fam', 'boi', 'sick', 'decent' (which apparently means 'pretty damn good') and a lot of other stuff. It doesn't bother me, I've just worked out what it means. It's a stage, I had my own vocabulary when I was their age and my mum didn't get it either. Nothing to get worked up about, unless they are rude, aggressive, not doing their work in school and not in general being good human beings.
DDs only use this terminology with people they like and trust. I feel privileged to be part of that group. They are perfectly capable of speaking formally when it is appropriate to the situation.

My H doesn't cope with this at all, which is one of the very many reasons why he isn't going to be my H for much longer - when one is the parent of teenagers in 2017, one cannot expect standards of conduct which were the norm in the USA in the year 1957.

It is very interesting how it all began and how much its spread. It can be referred to as multicultural London English (MLE) or Jafaican. A mixture between Carribean, south Asian and youth slang, its more than a dialect and has been referred to as a sociolect. It seems to have spread throughout the UK by social media and different parts of the country have added their own local slang. Quite clever, if not bloody hard to comprehend.

Sorry OP but that made me laugh. I would go the opposite way - go posh. If she says something is good say 'gosh how spiffing' etc. If one of her friends says hi say 'what ho' or bye 'toodlepip'. She will be cringing.

I am in charge of the "Watevers" here, and made it uncool!
