UK slang

shesheshe · (#1 (**permalink**))

Hello everyone- i mean wa blow!! i think1!

I'm 21 so sorry for intruding into your forum.I have a younger sister 17 who attends college and we were having a conversation on slang words now-I only left college in 2002 butI would say that the majority of slang words that my sister was talking about i've never heared of e.g. grimey and shabby as in good. I was just wondering if anyone out there could give me a list of slang words that they use or have heardand the definitions of them as i find it all very amusing! and also i am worried that in a few years time, i will not be able to communicate with anyone under 18.

I'm 18, I was born here, but lived abroad and came back to Londonfrom the States aged 15.

I still don't get any of the UKslang people say here. I don't know WHY you'd wanna speak that crap anyway.

Urgh.

Ididnt say thatI wanted to speak itI said thatI actually found it funny. And i just wanted to know what half of them mean or if there was any new or exotic slang thatI have never heard of.

I can't really catch onto the uk (or urban)slang; Alot of my
friends usually mention the word "allie" or "a lie" after a sentence. I'm still trying to figure out what this means

I lie?

Like saying what I just said was the truth and do you agree with me... Usually rhetorical.

"dat gal dere busted I lie?"
