I’m part of a mentoring programme that mentors teenagers in south west London. And during a mentors get-together last night we had a quiz on teenage slang.
This will:
1. Make you feel very old if you get them all wrong.
2. Get you instant respect on Facebook from your teenage rellys if you get them all right.
But remember if you say things like ‘down with the kids’ you really aren’t.
See how you get on.
1. How might you embarrass a friend?
Dekecking
Baring
Gopping
2. If a girl was to describe an attractive boy, what might she say?
Mcfittie
Grimmer
Bosh
3. If something was amusing it could be described as:
Chenzed
Savage
Hollage
4. If a young person has too much too drink they would be:
Chenzed
Confuzzled
Bagged
5. “You turn into a right…….when you’re drunk”
Bosh
Grimmer
Meg
And what do these all mean?
Redonkulous
Sketchy
Bless
Old School
My bad
Man up
Killa
Netglow
Facebook minute
Text purgatory
Anyway, gotta bounce. Answers tomorrow.

It could mean any of the following:
Hello
Excuse me
What are you looking at?
What on earth is that thing?
Listen to me, sir
Would you like a cigarette?
You’re about to be kicked in the head, my good man
It’s all about context, innit? Especially with the soz ‘ard main ‘eds. Mint.
