I'm helping Ukrainian secondary school kids with their English, and they want a 101 on the slang their peers are using. Anyone able to contribute some must-know words for survival in a south-east England secondary? Better still, ask your kids?
For example, current teenage words/expressions for:
great
terrible
tired
angry
upset
excited
attractive
disgusting
an idiot (You ...!)
a strange person
a clumsy person
a swot
You did it really well
You did it really badly
Don't interfere
Romantic relationship stuff (swerving anything too 'adult' in content as there'll be some 11 and 12 year olds in the group)
Language related to gossip (Spill the tea ...?? etc)
Or anything else that would be useful to a young person who's mostly learned English from a school coursebook and a host family without kids.
Many thanks for any help you can provide! My own kids are older, so I'm not sure the slang they use is stiil relevant in schools now.
