What are your kids saying?

I heard a friend's kid talking about 'upgrading' a pizza - getting extra toppings!

Is it me, or is anyone else feeling a little left behind by modern day slang. What happened to Skill and Ace?

Are any of your kids saying incomprehesible stuff?.... bovvered?

Pimmpom · 03/05/2007 14:47

trouble is they all sound horrible because of the tone!

Jomist · 03/05/2007 14:47

Never thought that one day I'd be sitting in front of my computer getting definitions of 'shizzle my nizzle' lol

gingertoo · 03/05/2007 14:49

'Random' used about their friends seems to be a compliment - " Chloe said blah blah blah, it was SOOO random" accompanied by raucous laughter.
When applied to their parents, accompanied by a rolling of the eyes, it doesn't seem quite so complimentary!!!

WanderingTrolley · 03/05/2007 15:09

Ta Penelope.

So it's teenage for "Oh."

Oh.

PenelopePitstops · 03/05/2007 16:35

Wandering trolley thats about right!

3littlefrogs · 03/05/2007 18:11

Nice food tends to be described as "buff", a fashinable shirt or jacket as "sick" and an event or humerous occurrence as "jokes". Sometimes I feel as if I need a phrasebook.

When they are talking to their friends on the phone, I have absolutely no idea what they are on about. Presumably that is the general idea.

3littlefrogs · 03/05/2007 18:13

Oh - and the other one - used to describe something of superior quality: "standard" uttered in tones of admiration.

downundergirl · 04/05/2007 03:00

fully sick - really good
mad as - really good

soyabean · 05/05/2007 19:57

bare = very
chung = good looking
butters = ugly

monkeyandcheekychops · 05/05/2007 20:19

Really don't want to offend anyone here but "shizzle my nizzle" doesn't mean what a previous poster said. I looked it up on Urban Dictionary.com

Shizzle is directly replaceable with "shit" or "sure". the suffix "izzle" came from the very first rap songs, where the rapper would use "izzle" instead of swearing.

"Shizzle my nizzle!" can translate to "Shit my n**r!"

This might help

Whizzz · 05/05/2007 20:32

"That's well good" "well fast" etc

Kids at school complain if they have "to sit on my bill"

Bill being short for Billy No Mates ie sitting by themselves

spudmasher · 05/05/2007 20:40

Oh my days....

????

janeite · 05/05/2007 21:25

"Oh my days" - yes, we get that one, which is weird as prior to dd using it (she's 12 and goes to a girls' school) it was only the ex-London bad boy in my school who I'd ever heard use it.

"Random" - EVERYTHING is random.

"It's all good."

Surfermum · 05/05/2007 21:28

Dsd (11) is always adding "innit" to sentences.

NotanOtter · 05/05/2007 21:31

yes 'stressy' and yes 'randomn'

also 'gay' gets way too much air time and tonight dd called ds a 'puff'!!!!!!!!!!!

Molesworth · 05/05/2007 21:36

yes to all that have been mentioned including "shizzle my nizzle"

also "bell" as in "you're a bell" (short for "bell end")

which can be extended to "bell cheese"

"blates" (i.e. abbreviation of "blatantly")

also "bare" meaning "very" (I think)

Molesworth · 05/05/2007 21:37

ah I see bare has been mentioned already

SuGaRCoAteDPoiSOn · 05/05/2007 21:53

ooh.. we have a different meaning for chung round these parts... it means high or drunk :/

also blud, bruv, bredren and brer are coming into general use..

and if something is very obvious then it's bait

ooh and we have on da real for seriously and on da dl for being discreet

cool = hello/goodbye
linking = seeing someone but not officially going out with them

also trousers must be worn hanging low enough so the wearer looks like he's shat himself

RustyBear · 05/05/2007 22:00

Two of DD's favourites are
'safe' meaning variously Ok , cool, or a greeting
'hench' originally meaning big, now used for good, presumably in the same way as 'great' acquired that meaning

jalopy · 06/05/2007 10:53

Mine say 'sick' meaning good.
Actually, I hate the upward inflection at the end of their sentences. A whole new accent has evolved.

Stephanie1970 · 08/05/2007 14:51

Stressy or stresshead....and GAY. Everyone is gay according to our 4.
No other saying's are said here. Are my kids normal then, or what??!! {grin}

PenelopePitstops · 08/05/2007 15:00

originally shizzle my nizzle does mean shit my n**er but now it gets used for the reasons listed below. MOst kids wont even know the real meaning tbh
