So, like, how did you do with the teen slang?

15th
Jul
by Sarah Turner

Ok, so here are the answers from yesterday’s post. Was you tidy or was you confuzzled?

1.How might you embarrass a friend?

Dekecking – pulling down your mates’s trousers. What a jape!
Baring
Gopping

2. If a girl was to describe an attractive boy, what might she say?

Mcfittie – Obvs.
Grimmer
Bosh

3. If something was amusing it could be described as:

Chenzed
Savage
Hollage – hilarious!

4. If a young person has too much too drink what would they be?

Chenzed – tired or drunk
Confuzzled
Bagged

5. “You turn into a right…….when you’re drunk”

Bosh
Grimmer
Meg – It means ‘most embarrassing girl/guy’. Who knew?

And how about these?

Redonkulous – ridiculous
Sketchy – flaky
Bless – cute, sweet, same as awww
Old School – back in the day. As in “I love old school hip-hop like Grandmaster Flash”. Oh by the way, people who say ‘old school’ are too young to remember it
My bad – or My B. My mistake. Or Mea Culpa if you’re that way inclined
Man up – Be brave, toughen up. (Most used from the stands at Emirates Stadium in the direction of over-dramatic European players)
Killa – the best, number one. As in “killa tunes”
Netglow – what you suffer from when you buy something that looks really good online but is rubbish when it arrives
Facebook minute – an elongated and obscure period of time spent distracted on Facebook when you only wanted to quickly check your messages
Text purgatory – waiting for someone to text back. “Why hasn’t he texted me yet? Why? Why?”

So how did you do? Were you porn (good) or were you a wasteman (fool). You get me?

    Strange that you put “Man up” and “Killa” together. At Elland Road last season, that exact combination was repeatedly exclaimed at the effeminate ponce Neil Kilkenny.
