I've come across a new "teenage" word... GATTERED! It means...

[ShinyHappyPeopleHoldingHands]

..drunk apparently! As in "I got totally gattered at the weekend..." And this from the mouths of 14/15 years olds in Y10!

Luckily DS thinks they sound naff.. and also that "getting gattered" is naff... long may it last!

Where do they get it from? [pcc says in a OAP kind of way!] I still prefer my word - 'w*nkered!

In Scotland we say guttered!, very similar though ours has true meaning!

When we were in cornwall last year we were in a fish & chip shop/restaurant and there was a 15 ish year old talking on his phone saying 'yeah mate, i'm going out tonight and i'm gonna get battered'
PMSL, thinking how appropiate, he works in a chip shop, and he's going to get battered. It's made me laugh ever since when i remember that.
Ah the youth of today ( And i'm only 28!!)

Are you sure he wasn't actually saying gattered Wurzel?? Surely battered can only mean getting beaten up.. (or covered in batter! )

Isn't it funny that they think they're so grown up!

Battered is a bit like hammered.

Ah, yes, that makes a little more sense.

Why can't they just use exisiting words? Would that be a really naff thing to do???

Battered

hammered

guttered

steamin

mingin

pished

blootered

gashed

mortal

bladdered!

are you in the south? were they saying guttered (as in - in the gutter, passed out cold!!) with that a for an u sound you get in some accents. or trying to mimic that - like some people say 'mayte' with an east end type accent even though they've been no further south than derby!

No mytwopence, here it's definitely gattered!! (Have just checked with DS). Yes we are in Kent.

ScottishThistle, have you done a degree in teenage speak??? [respect]

Shiny, I remember the teenage days well & we use many more words in Scotland for being drunk!

ok, but can you ask him from me what does it mean? from what does it derive?

if you are currently drunk are you gatter or gatt?

It's teen talk, does it need to derive from anywhere???

yes.

they can't just pull out letters from a scabble bag or something. it's not allowed!!

Of course they can, they're teenagers!

By inventing new words for getting/being drunk, they are just following in the distinguished literary tradition of PG Wodehouse, whose descriptions of the state include:
Under the surface, Completely sozzled, Fried to the tonsils, Full to the back teeth, Lathered, Suffering from magnums, Lit a bit, Shifting it a bit, Mopping the stuff up, Off-Colour, Oiled, Ossified, Pie-eyed, Plastered, Polluted,Primed to the sticking point, Scrooched,Squiffy, Stewed, Stinko, Tanked to the uvula,Tight as an owl, Whiffled, Woozled, Awash and Under the sauce.

He also identified six varieties of hangover:
The Broken Compass, the Sewing Machine, the Comet, the Atomic, the Cement Mixer and, of course, the Gremlin Boogie.

Apparently it comes from gatta - meaning alcohol. And it's very commonly used in parts of Kent.

Or so it says here ...

anyone tell me where shedded comes from

I heard it a lot in Oxford..

I'm getting shedded tonight - or I got shedded last night...

From having drunk a shedload of booze, maybe.

Or from being so p*ssed that you get locked out of the house and spend the night in the shed ...

Its still "wasted" in Nottingham

PMSL raspberry.. DS goes to school in Sittingbourne.. that'll be why then! LOL at that "urban dictionary" and the verbal habits of Kentish pykies!

thanks raspberry!

In Oz you often hear munted! As in I got absolutely 'munted' last night

"Munted".. ugh.. that's just offensive for some reason!
