I recently found out that young people say "book" when they mean "cool" - the reason being that predictive text comes up with "book" first if you are typing "cool". I haven't tested this theory but the teenager who lives next door to me told me. Whilst inserting the word "like" into her explanation an impressive number of times.

My iphone, like, didn't do it. 'Cool' comes up as 'cool', like. Like I mean, WTF!

Saying "Yeah" or "like" all the time. It just shows a distinct lack of vocabulary, "I saw Lee-Anne yeah and she was like saying Darren's left me yeah and I was like I know coz he's with me now yeah and she slapped me round the face yeah."

Yup! The Canine's testicles or the dog's bollocks.

Timebox? Like WTF? Do you salute it? Defrost it in your mental microwave? Is it an inside or outside timebox?


Thought shower. Apparently brainstorm may be offensive to people with epilepsy. I'm sure they'd have a hissy fit if they heard it.

Ah Brendon you made my day

Like just rock up dude it'll be sick

Makes me think of the wonderful Armstrong and Miller sketches



I was only thinking the other day that 'Rock Up' tends to be used by fairly posh well-spoken people, which makes it sound all the more incongruous. Same for chillax and good times, to a lesser extent.

The shame, the first time someone said 'Rock Up' I had to ask what they meant, I hadn't heard of it before (that was about 10 years ago in my defence).


Anyway, I hate 'Telly' and 'Tummy'. Grrrrr. Although not new words, their usage afflicts me dreadfully.

    • When I did a Diploma in Community Studies at Birkbeck College many many moons ago, community was defined a group with common/similar beliefs , people living within a defined geographical area,.
    • At it's peak I recall 16 Furkin pubs, all brewing their own.    The first pub was the Goose, followed by the Ferret, the wonderful Pheonix, Fox and one other, not necessarily in that order, when I discovered them. I did all 16 on public transport in one day with a group many years ago, if Guinness had a record this would be one, as everyone else would hire a minibus. Reverting to Wiki, it maxed out with 19 home brew pubs, and many more not brewing before the end: chain was established in 1979 by David Bruce as Bruce's Brewery, the Firkin Brewery grew as a chain of mostly brewpubs offering cask ale. It was acquired by Midsummer Leisure in 1988, Stakis Leisure in 1990 and then by Allied Domecq in 1991; by 1995 the chain had 44 pubs, 19 of which brewed beer on site.[1] In 1999, Punch Taverns bought the entire chain and the rights to the Firkin brand,[2] and then sold 110 of the pubs to Bass, leaving 60 Firkin pubs under Punch ownership.[3] The brewery side of the chain was wound up, and in March 2001 Punch announced that the Firkin brand was to be discontinued.[4] 
    • Hello! I’m looking to collect some pallets and MDF boards from anyone in the area who has some and no longer needs them?   It would also be a huge bonus if anyone has a PA sound system I could rent/borrow/buy off them.   Thank you in advance!
    • That was the best "pound shop", a great selection of products, sadly it and the chain went to the wall as they say.
