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

OK, I have a question about "Slide me, Homeslice!" Is the proffered hand simply horizontal, palm up or upright like a high five?

He’s a comedian Soup

Being in the Midlands, the favourite way my DD dismisses me is by using the charming phrase "0121,do one" ...bless
And ugly things are "butters".
Well, fairs

Thank goodness for that! I had a feeling I thought wasn't real (especially having googled the lyrics) but couldn't be sure :)

OK, I have a question about "Slide me, Homeslice!" Is the proffered hand simply horizontal, palm up or upright like a high five?

It's horizontal, palm up. You slap (slide) their hand then upturn yours to receive a reciprocal move. I'm sure there's a name for it but damned if I can think what it is! Other than "slide", of course...

I linked to Man's Not Hot upthread you pussies. - sucks teeth -

Marvellous! I wouldn't want to mix my slide with my high five. I'd look like a total idiot.

Kmt you mean lemonde

• Glares menacingly at Dipping -

Nobody arksed you cuz.

This thread is making me howl. My children are 5 and 16 months so not using this language just yet however, the 16 month old does do the 'pop pop pop' ECT from man's not hot.
I do hear it from kids on the street, we live in Cheshire.

NightRaven - Amazing! Yes, do this. She'll cringe if you do it in front of her friends.

Or when her friends arrive at her house make sure you’re wearing a onesie with big slippers and hair in rollers with a hairnet.

THAT should do it!

Allow it sis allow it

Yes we have mans not hot here too. Dd and ds10 just regaled me with the full version complete with the mandatory skyaaa popopop!

aw, homeslice is so lovely!

What does fam mean?

DS is still in primary, and I can keep up with what he and his pals say, but him and his pals were all born in West Yorkshire and I still speak fluent Scouse.

I don't hold with embarrassing your children on the whole, but sometimes it's a mother's duty

What does fam mean?

Short for family but seems to be extended for good friends who are like family!

I LOVE this. Like others have said, I think it's really clever to talk differently depending on who you're with.

Halal ting is awesome. We used to say things were kosher, back in the day. I'm in Sarf Lahndahn, too.

Does anyone remember when the Scottish relay team won a swimming gold medal at the Commonwealth Games and they were interviewed on R4. They kept saying it was sick, and afterwards, John Humphreys had to translate and explain they meant it was good. It really made me laugh.

I'm "peak" if I say no to something..son and his friends call each other "g" on every message

Oh dear god, I have four of these.

“Yeah fam” and “nah mate” is the extent of the conversation I get from most of them.

We're in France so I've got this to look forward to in French...

As it is, DH and I found it really funny when 4 year old DS1 came out of school saying "salut mec" to his friends (roughly translated as "yo guys" though usually used by much older teens/adults)

He has slang for "that's easy" (fastoche instead of facile) and "I can do it" (je suis cap - i.e. I am capable)

4 year old slang is easy. Not sure what the teenage years will bring!

I'd not really given any thought to there being equivalent in foreign languages. :o

AtlanticWaves - a lot of back-to-frontery, eg zarbi instead of bizarre etc etc.

Nah mate.

Apparently Stormzy does NOT sound like Beaker from The Muppet Show.
