"I was shook"

[BigSandyBalls2015]

This is the latest teen talk in my house. Is it wrong to find it immensely irritating?

I reply with "you mean it shook you up, or you were shaken?"

"No mum I was shook"

Yup , heard this yesterday.
Young twerps

"Spag bol for dinner, ok?"
"Jazzy"

"Aldi shop later, are you coming?"
"Jazzy"

"Aldi shop later, cant be bothered really..."
"Jazzy"

"Fell down the stairs, sprained my nose, landed on the hoover crevice attachment and broke my neck"
"Jazzy"

No, I dont know either.

Use their language back to them. They then realise how ridiculous it sounds 😂

I have taken to using urban dictionary to make sense of teen speak. I hear ‘shook’ or ‘shooketh’ regularly here!
Can’t remember them all but shade or shady is using sarcasm. Bit irritating but yes they like to feel they are cooler than their parents.

I really love teen speak. Only problem is that the moment I finally grasp the meaning of a word it changes...and never seems to occur again. Unless it’s in an eye roll, no-one-actually-uses-that-anymore kind of way.

I do that Monty :o

If she says something happened at school I say "Is that, like, JAZZY or, you know like, jazzy? Or is it just like totes jazzy?"

Luckily DD2 has a good sense of humour and takes it well and reminds me that no one says "totes" anymore!

Interesting about the Irish connection.

I hate come at me bruv! sound sso silly when a little surrey school boy says it.

What is Roadman speak? Is it this? We are S of S London and he is constantly triggered by things but his friends help with bants and are My Guys (heart heart kiss kiss) - seems quite homoerotic to me ... just sayin! And I am so jarrin' all the time but its calm, that's what parents do. One thing that has remained constant: Its so unfair!

You're quite right.I'm just not down wiv the kids, such an old gimmer me.
Actually even my 'kids' are old gimmers too.Ah well.

"Chill your beans bro" in response to being told for the 10th time that she'll be late for school if she doesn't get a move on.

What is Roadman speak?

omg thats it! that's what hes talking! he called his dad a wasteman the other day which didnt go well!

Whats all the MyGuy thing about? is it just fron MyG?

He'll post a moody lookibg picture in a new jacket for example, always taken in reflection in the mirror, never firect, half of moody pose obscured by the flash, then he'll get 400 comments, mosy from boyd, saying "G ♥️" "My Guy ♥️♥️♥️" "Mi Guy" "My G" etc

The few girls who respond put "boi" ( please dont tell me thay means a shagger! )

Shook has been in use since the '90s at least. And people used to say "chill your beans" back then too.

Next time, tell your kids to be more original. They'll hate that.

Ask them to put on "Shook Ones Pt. II" by rap duo Mobb Deep. It was released in 1995 so you will simultaneously embarrass them and impress them with your music knowledge.

Teens talk like this to distinguish themselves from us, and to irritate us. So if we do it to they’re fucked on both counts.

Is you child a pea or an ear of corn? Do they self id as a clam?

This may be a serious id crisis for your child, I suggest you ask them all about their self id the next time they use the phrase.

I'm Irish too,and shook is widely used 'ugh hungover...yeah you look shook' 'Pats uncles cat is sick...poor cat looks shook'. My son calls me mate 😕 after every sentence,and before. Seems oblivious when I do the same

I actually quite like that one

Oh yeah and everything's sound when I ask dc about ANYTHING. You want dinner...sound. I'm going to shops...sound. All your friends have emigrated....sound!

This thread has made me laugh out loud😁. Heard the term "shook" at a rural funeral the other day in the West of Ireland ....one of the pallbearers looked "a bit shook" apparently.

This thread is hilarious ...

My brain is still trying to adjust to the word "peng"

Really? I was using ‘feeling a bit shook’ 30 years ago.
In Ireland admittedly - and related to the after affects of a savage hangover but had no idea it wasn’t common usage.

I really don’t get these threads objecting to new usage of words. How the fuck do you think English ended up with more words than any other language. It’s something that on be proud of.

jhfc. ‘That on’ = ‘to’ but with less wine.

Another one that DD loves - adding 'at' to the end of sentences. For example - "Where are my shoes at?"

Oh and 'balling' means wealthy, apparently.
