Chat shit get banged yeah?

I work with yoofs and love embarrassing them by using their slang.

OurMiracle1106 · 04/12/2017 09:53

I’m a Londoner. And i remember some slang from growing up Blush don’t really remember using much of it though.

Home slice has made me giggle as has the whole thread tbh.

SoupDragon · 04/12/2017 10:09

Wtf is homeslice?

Google seems to imply it means someone who's like a slice of home (so, um comforting? Familiar?). There may be other less complimentary meanings but I'm taking this one.

SoupDragon · 04/12/2017 10:10

Although if you go with the Greggs option it could mean hot, tasty and with a little bit of spice. Which would be wholly inappropriate in a son to mother conversation.

SoupDragon · 04/12/2017 10:11

Sarf Lundn here too. Although I am the only one in the famalam with the accent.

I love Homeslice, can't stop laughing at that one Grin

thefairyfellersmasterstroke · 04/12/2017 10:18

Ha ha! I've had "Slide me, homeslice!" for DS which by the proffered hand meant he wanted a hand slap from his mum.

SoupDragon · 04/12/2017 10:20

"Slide me homeslice!" Lololol. I may try that with DS2 when he gets home from school.

calamityjam · 04/12/2017 10:41

I'm going to use homeslice in every other sentence from now on. I love it. Bring me some more me gyaldem

Famalam, I swear down, calm, bare, g, IKR, I ain't gonna lie are popular phrases here. Must be said in a Sarf London accent even though it's not London.

AllRoadsLeadBackToRadley · 04/12/2017 10:53

Shove the Ali G movie on and prove that we were chatting this shit while dey was a twinkle in da homeslice's eye! 😃

My DD and her friends are the opposite...they steal MY words! Mintage and Benk to name but two!

sinceyouask · 04/12/2017 12:18

We live in Manchester. DS1 says these things in a weird accent that swings between exaggerated Manc and... something I can't even actually describe. It's all very contrived, anyway.

BulletFox · 04/12/2017 12:26

Homeslice?? Never heard that one.

LemonadeWithACherry · 04/12/2017 13:44

I love talking roadman to my silly DS. Grin

Ending a phonecall is a good opportunity to try out roadman parlance. It used to be 'PEACE' in a really deep voice, now it's 'Safe safe'. But I like to go 'Safe safe. Safe safe safe. Safe safe safe safe. Safe.'

At the moment I'm practising Big Shaq's phone sign off from the Man's Not Hot video, 'Skrrrrrr POP POP'. Was tempted to try it out this morning when I ended a call to the GP receptionist. Grin

TabbyTigger · 04/12/2017 14:28

We’re in south London and my DC go to a very multicultural school (over 50% Afro-Caribbean). “Creps” confused me for over a year but I now know they’re shoes (“sick creps bled”). We also have lit/gassed/ends/yeah boi (pronounced in a certain way). Peng has died a bit. I discovered that “allow it” actually means stop!! Sick’s managed to survive for at least 10 years - I remember now 18 year old DS coming home aged about 7 telling me that sick was a good thing. “Innit” “fam” “gassed” and “g” have also been around for what feels like foreverrrr.

Also, I’m still not sure what the context of “yeet” is. Starting to think it’s just random...

youngestisapsycho · 04/12/2017 14:39

DD15 does the 'allow it' while banging the side of her hand on her other palm.... I have to just walk away!

stormnigel · 04/12/2017 14:40

Wait, allow it means stop? Mind boggling. I've been getting that wrong for months thinking dd meant carry on! Grin

yumscrumfatbum · 04/12/2017 14:43

I love the slang it's hilarious! My favourites are "Bun off" it's a polite way to say piss off! Feet are "Cheds" fam and famalan feature regularly!

PumpkinSquash · 04/12/2017 14:44

This thread is an education. Grin I'm old.
14 year old due home from school shortly. He's a fan of saying "alright, fam?" in a jokey way. I need some witty comebacks. Grin
Crying at where you at, homeslice. Love it

calamityjam · 04/12/2017 16:06

Around here I have noticed da yoot answer their phones saying "Yes G". Apparently that means " Hello my good friend".

Hello fellow breadwins! (Confused)

Lately I've been hearing "mans not hot".

Not a fucking clue what it means, but could it be of use?

Coconutspongexo · 04/12/2017 16:45

Mans not hot is a song Grin

2+2 makes 4 minus 1 that’s 3 quick maths etc

formerbabe · 04/12/2017 16:47

Mans not hot is a song

My ds has been singing this Confused

Bare sick beats fam

SoupDragon · 04/12/2017 16:56

Man's Not Hot makes me laugh. I have no idea of the song is serious or not!
