Teenage slang translation thread

[ThreeBeeOneGee]

This is what I have learned this evening...

Beast = very good.
Peak = rubbish, unfair.

If anyone can add anything else, please do, in the interests of helping me understand what my son is saying to me.

I think we all realise it's an old thread but the conversation is still valid because it's about slang so I can't see why the thread can't continue.

It's hardly a zombie thread is it! 😂 It's going to be relevant through all times and even though t was started in 2013 it's still be going for 2/3 years. The last post before today was only 3 days ago.

Gillywillywoo. I know this is an old post but don’t encourage ‘Gash’. It refers to a vagina. If my DS referred to girls as ‘gash’ he’d have to apologise very quickly. Luckily none of my four have been very big on slang. I instilled in them the need to speak well for their future. I’m an older parent who was brought up by older parents so I have old fashioned values and my children (even my 15year old twins) like that and are genuinely embarrassed about their own generation. I’m not a snob, I just want the best for my children.

Yeah I know it's a zombie thread but just updating the latest from DD

G - for mate - still yes. Also used to denote someone who is cool to hang out with. "She's such a G!"
Bare - for lots/very - still yes
Fleek - still yes

But. Breaking news is that Peng has been replaced by Piff. "She a bare Piff ting".

For cultural context, DD is 12 and from an affluent and leafy suburb of London 😂

Re the most recent message, I have always understood 'G' to be short for 'gangster'. My son (similar cultural context - Surrey stockbroker belt - but DS is almost 20 ) also refers to friends as 'G' (used to be bredren), and he refers to absolutely EVERYTHING as 'gangster' - "do you like your new skateboard?" "Yeah it's gangster" etc etc, it's definitely a positive! Sometimes this is merely "gang gang", seemingly said randomly, or "gang shit" which is also a positive adjective. One to watch out for is 'boonk gang" which DS and his 'bredren' use as a synonym for steal - eg "We'll just bonk gang that shit bruv", I picked up on this one early so able to act on it.

Of course all the typical ones persist, innit, jokes ting, bloodclart, etc. Everything is "af", everyone and I mean EVERYONE is "Bruv", and if the sentence doesn't begin with bruv, it begins with "Yo", eg "Yo, I'm hungry af bruv". Anyway, I digress. Ninety percent of it has 'gang' in the word, that seems to be the prominent slang of the day.

[SlightlyJaded]

Linda I agree that G is probably getting it's origins from Gangster but my DC don't really understand the context of that properly - so it just means 'cool person'.

Yeah to the bruv thing although, as far as I can tell:

Bruv = friend
Cuz = might be cousin, but equally someone of a similar age who is close
Fam = family but also 'friendship family'

Will look out for Boonk Gang. It used to be 'tax' in my day. "Got no money? Just tax it innit"

Oh dear. I will have to keep an eye on the Girldem.

I know it's a zombie thread but i love this! All the middle class kids and their slang. latest is " he booghee' pronounced boo-shee - I think it means loaded.

[saltandvinegarcrisps1]

Also "decent" now means brilliant rather than just ok

[SlightlyJaded]

Bare Prang = Feeling pretty rubbish.
Can also relate to feeling wasted 'because man been smokin bare skunk'

Bayden = rich / minted

Tingsing = flirt.

That's my lot.

[3l1t3Quicksc0p3rs]

I have started to use these words with my children, after asking my kids what they mean:

Mad - Cool etc.
Mandem - Group of friends
Wagwan piffting - A greeting, to friends, or to someone you find attractive

[lljkk]

snack: fit bloke
meal: extremely attractive bloke
Did DD get those off of Love Island? I shudder to think.

[Pawprintjoy]

Motive - gathering to do drugs or drink together
Benz - weed
B - babe
Doobie- spliff

Did DD get those off of Love Island? I shudder to think.
No 😂 no one said that sort of thing on love island, it’s more from American YouTubers from what I can tell.

Yeet is something I keep hearing, I assume it means throw or something? “Just yeet it over there”

[brizzledrizzle]

My teens must live in a middle class bubble, I've only heard them use 'sick' - one of them chats a lot on the xbox to his mates but he speaks much like he would speak to me but without the attitude

Pattern up- sort yourself out
Beat- sex
Zoot- spliff
Bare-a lot

[areg]

Motive -party

[Idfk]

Wrong
Peng means amazing and hot
And butters means ugly af
