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.

    • Walking around, it looks to me as if weedkiller has been used, as some weeds have been left in situ but are dead. However, most of the weeds which have been (apparently)  killed in this way are hardly likely to lift pavements, being things like Shepherd's Purse. They might seed around, but I'm not sure what harm that does. I would like to know exactly what is the remit of the council workers who are tasked with dealing with weeds in pavements (and in tree pits?). Things like dandelions which have taproots (but are hard to remove in one piece)  have been left in the pavement,  whereas things like Toadflax (which don't, and are easy to just pull out) have been removed.
    • Yet another recommendation for Casper the  handyman.   He recently completed some odd jobs around our house including installing curtain rails and hanging pictures.  He offered practical solutions to the issues that arose, was efficient and communicative.  Very reasonable rates. We’ll be using his services again and have recommended to family & friends. 
    • Tom is a legend, even though he supports Arsenal..
    • The seller hasn't been named on here, and it isn't clear that it was a genuine misunderstanding, given the contents of the OP. Maybe it should be left as a warning to others to try things out before you take them home. Or indeed before you sell them. If  something seems wrong, it probably is. It shouldn't have taken a public post to resolve things . Also, if the laptop actually belongs to a company, it wasn't the seller's to sell, regardless of how he obtained it.
