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

Fascinating. About half of this, we have in the US, and the other half is totally new to me.

Eagerly awaiting the import of "peng."

What about “squad goals” and “eyebrows on point”

"Korean Billy"? "Roadman"?

These sound like my DH's mates down the building site!

"salty", "pure" and "beef" - lots of beef.

I love all of this. Makes me homesick for London. DD1 is caught in weird slang no mans land between her old English friends and her new Canadian ones. I don’t think they say innit here

PLEASE chuck her a packet of fruitellas (or has to be those specifically) and tell her they're a "bad man sweet blud"!!! And if she don't get it (it's a reference from the film anuvahood) tell her it's because she's not a roadman so bloody well stop it!!!!

Also look up "doc brown - slang 101" - you can thank me later and I'm gutted to not be a fly on the wall if you repeat any of it to her!

Where you at homeslice That is the funniest thing I've seen in weeks.

I daren't tell DS2 about the homeslice love 😂 I loved the text so much I kept a screeenshot of it.

For context, he is well spoken, polite and privately educated. Thankfully he only talks like that via text or as a joke (and even then he does it in his normal anonymous slightly post voice)

Homeslice is great.

'Whatever' is Californian and has been around decades. 'Whatever, loser', with the accompanying hand movements, was around when I was young, and we're not going to think about how many years have passed.

Actually living in South London, within easy reach of several Chicken Cottages, I am loving the idea of what I'd assumed was local teen talk all over the small towns of the UK.

I love homeslice! And I'm usually the one saying 'Whatevs' here

Cash me outside, how bow da?

Actually, there's a very pointed 'whatever' in the Muppet Christmas Carol, which was made in 1992.

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

That's literally what halal means. Allowed.

Dc favourite is to say 'what you chattin' if they disagree with something I've said. If I had said that to my parents I would have been on my arse.

Homeslice?!

Sounds like something off the Gregg's menu!

I actually like this way of speaking. I'd be happier my kids speaking like this, than a plum in mouth nowhere accent

I live in North London. My 12 year old boys use wasteman/roadman, fam blud. Makes me giggle. The funniest was one of them said man needs food as he was sucking his thumb and cuddling his soft toy he's had from birth 😂😂

My incredibly well spoken 15 year old daughter often texts me 'what's up homeslice' but it's a complete joke. She's really embarrassed of her brothers lingo.

Wtf is homeslice? Does it mean mum?!

If ds1 addresses me as fam or g one more time I'm going back to my 90s teen way of speaking and will do so in public where his friends can hear.

Also if he keeps referring to the police as "da feds" or "da 12" he is going to need to call them himself and ask them to protect him from his demented mother.

Da Feds 😂😂 my boys say it too.

I've never heard any of these expressions and I have two teenagers . Don' live in the SE though.

I’m midlands. Well established here. Man’s not hot innit...
