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

I'm still also giggling at 'homeslice', and Chicken Cottage.

I'm feeling very Chabuddy G about this thread.

A few years ago one of my Guides asked me very seriously if I knew what lol meant... I was only 29! I answered that I’d been using lol since before she was born. Even my mum knows what lol means!

Thankfully I don’t hear my Guides talk like that. They’re all very well spoken, in front of me anyway!

I always say it’s a skill to use different language around different people, and that they can use whatever ridiculous slang they want with their friends as long as they actually know and use correct English around adults. God knows I used to fake an awful accent as a teen to fit in! As an adult who lives hundreds of miles from my hometown I’m very glad I don’t have a strong accent for real

We were in London last weekend and a young "lady" on the train was having a very animated conversation with a friend on her phone. Everything was "lit". This appeared to mean very good indeed.

This thread makes my toes curl.

If anyone said half of the stuff said on here I’d feel embarrassed that they were still saying something that was relevant 5 years ago.

Seriously peng? Reem? Innit? No one says that anymore.

Don't forget the Greek kids

I want someone to "happening mawbags" me. I'd love a "Mon then".
Mine have all grown out of teen speak.
In my long ago day we had a long spell of avagan double speak. It re occurred when mine were teens and I gave them two weeks before letting them know I spoke it better then they did.

I do love the ever changing flow of language. I also am strangely happy that the current street or patios embraces so many influences. Halal ting is awesome. As is home slice.

"Happening mawbags" 😂

I have a 14 yr old daughter and she seems over fond of this type of talk.

I am ignoring it and hopeing the phase will pass. One of my brothers friends has suggested that I 'have a well gangsta ass on me'

apparently it was a compliment.

I can see it when you are in a large city and there are youngsters from a variety of backgrounds sharing and adapting their language.

However is sounds silly coming from a white middle class teen who has never even seen a chicken cottage.

Lol,where I live is mc and affluent.the teens all knock about givin it ting ting,dis dat
Quite funny with their enunciated posh delivery,they naturally have that posh non-accent which they alter to be all innit

A good guide is if eastenders are starting to use the word. Then you know it’s outdated.

This thread is lit af.

I feel your pain OP......... Only a moron talks like that. Age is no excuse.

An idea...lets all re-introduce 70's & 80's slang, that'll confuse the little darlings

Absolutely crying at "Where you at homeslice" 😂😂😂

I have to admit to using the term "sick" on occasion when im very pleased about something

Were we live we have a lot of very local slang that has been going for years and most people including the teens talk like that of course new words and phrases do seem to come in for a few years as the "in words " such as the above

Had to stifle a laugh at some posh kids on the bus the other week talking like it though " yesss fam, innit " etc . I imagine they switch back to normal mode once back home !

I used to talk like a right wally at that age ! I think all teens go through the it , finding their identity and fitting in etc it's harmless

Is "road man" Londonesque Patois?

Everything was "lit"

It was legit 10 years ago, 'legitimate' before that.

I'm late 20's and have said 'same' for many years!

'Peng' was all new to me until I (unfortunately) discovered The Chicken Connoisseur on YouTube, with his 'pengest munch' videos. I've never felt as old as I did listening to him.

Roadman/wasteman = someone doing nothing much with his life. Might be a player with the girls and smoke weed. Probably doesn't have a job/dropped out of school /college.
I sympathise. I hate the way DD 23 answers any question with huh? Drives me mad. And she's applying for reception jobs 😃

Yeah we’re woke.

Yes to allow it, anything anyone gets agitated over my mate Just says ‘allow it’ winds them up more but should do the trick with your daughter

Just had to google chicken cottage we don’t have the in Liverpool
