We're you at high school in late 90's early 00's?

[MoonBaby1]

If you were in high school in laten90s early 00's did you use these words? Qualert, povert. If so we're in the uk we're you and is this a regional thing?

I left high school in 1998 and I've never heard those words.

I left in 2004 and never heard those words

I think it.might be Suffolk specific 🤔

I was at school in Suffolk in the late 90s and I haven’t heard of those words. I did hear the word ‘pov’ sometimes, which meant a poor person, but I would never have said it.

Yes I was and no I haven't. South West England.

Yes. And never, ever heard those words. Sounds like Klingon to me!

Nope,never heard of them. SE. Left high school in 2001.

Are we saying "high school" now?

I'm not a fan.

I left secondary in the late 90's and have never heard of those words.

Did my GCSEs in 2000. Never hears any of those words. Berkshire.

I left high school (which was called ‘place name’ high school as were other local ones ) in Norfolk in 2001 and they weren’t words we used

Shropshire, left 1999, never heard these words.

High school 98-02, never heard of either.

Wales 1992-1999 never heard these words

Left secondary in 98 and sixth form 2000. Never heard those words. Essex.

Left school end of the 90’s and no I’ve never heard those words.

Left in 2008 and never heard them.

Never heard them

Well as someone who went to "St ..... High School" in the 90s/00s there's nothing wrong with it.

Also if you have been to a seperate infant and junior school it's not really a 'secondry school' then is it?

But to answer your q op, no. What do they mean?

(Midlands)

The area in Suffolk where I went to school in the late 90s/early 00s had primary, middle and high school. So our high school was, unsurprisingly, called a high school.

(Never heard either of those words though!)

Never heard of them either. OP sounds a lot like these were specific to your individual school I’m afraid!

I started secondary in 2000 and never heard them.

I’m in Suffolk and never heard of them.

I left in 2002. We had a 3 tier system here, primary, middle and high school. High school was the standard name.

Well I went to St XXX High School so yes, I say high school. I now teach in XXX High School. It says it on the front of the building. Both schools have been around since the 70s so it’s not a recent thing.

OP, I was in high school 1995-2001 and I’ve never heard those words 🤷🏻‍♀️ I do remember ‘ya trout’ being a favourite insult tho.

Yes because I went to X High School in the nineties. Are we pretending it's a new Americanised term like the people who complain about Santa and Mother's Day?

Never heard those words though, OP!

Another one who went to High School in Suffolk here, I left in 1998, and never heard either of those words.

At the time, my school and the 4 nearest, off the top of my head, were all called ‘xxxx High School’, I didn’t live in one of the bits with primary, middle and high schools, but my friends just a few miles away did. Even now, (I’m still in Suffolk) the majority round me are still called xxxx high school.
