Anyone up for helping me crowdsource current teenage slang, please?

[DoggerelBank]

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.

'Slay Queen' seems to be the new 'you go gurrrl'
'fit' = outfit....fit check seems to involve taking a selfie in a full length mirror, posting on sm for others to comment on how peng / leng you look
da feds = police
salty = stroppy, argumentative

I think it's probably important to stress how different the meanings are from place to place, even school to school, and situation to situation, so although they can learn to get a general grasp of what is being said, they should be very aware that there will be the potential for a lot of misunderstanding at times, so not to react too much to anything until they can find another person to check out the meanings etc. Learning just enough to kind of follow along and get the idea is good, knowing that you might not be correctly perceiving the intensity/politeness/friendliness/maliciousness etc of the word. And probably not trying to use the slang words yet (if they can identify them, which is obviously more difficult if they are still just learning English).

(Said from the point of view of an English speaker who still had an awful lot of slang to catch up on when moving to England - not even as a teen but a student - and who made some notable mistakes in both understanding and using slang!).

But I agree with others that you need some teen volunteers from the school in question, if you can find some nice ones, just to give you an idea of what is being said/used there. Better if they could come and help as well, but if that's not practical, at least you talking to them first would help.

Mid is a backhanded compliment, meaning something of average quality that is overrated. A person who is vain about their looks might be described as mid to mean well, they 're not ugly, but not so attractive as they think.

Bosh seems to be the new vocabulary from my teen, not actually sure what it means but I think when something is good it's bosh

Icon is some one you really like.

Bussin? Related to food being really nice i think.

My kids also think that everything either 'slays' or is 'suss'.

Yeah, everyone is a bestie.

The newest one is "and I oop". Which means something like making a mistake.

My youngest, who is still at primary school, likes to call me 'bro" or "bro-ski". (I am a 41-year-old woman)

Asking mumsnet for slang terms could mean social suicide for them!!!!!

It will also be dependant on geography, social groups and age groups. Better asking locals of the actual age group than middle.aged women that "think" they know what terminology is 'cool'

😆

I've waited years to be a middle aged woman embarrassing my teenage children. Revenge is sweet 😋

A swot- a neek (maybe a portmanteau of nerd and geek?)
Swotty- sweaty

B tech is when something is second rate or inferior. Allow it is when you should let them do something. For example, No DS you can't go to an all night rave. 'Ahhh allow it fam'
