Modern Language

My kids are forever comming out with words that replace old fashioned words ie Sick=amazing,great etc. My daughter just informs me that bum means like,love ie i bum that drink.

Got me thinking what new words we on the forum could come up with, either as above or a new word altogether and what it describes.

Will give it some thought and add mine later.

In some circles "bad" actually means "good". There is however no ambiguity when referring to ICT's defence.

Mind you, I bum Ross Tokely. Am I sick or what?

Apparently "cool" doesn't necessarily mean "great/ok" now-a-days either, not sure what it means in today's  world but it's not what I thought it was .... oops!  :017:

Latest among kids here in Midlothian is 'harsh' which seems to have taken over from 'shan' for something they don't agree with. I always thought 'shan' was an old gypsy or tinker word- is it common in Sneck or Ross-shire?

[Guest TinCanFan]

Some people I know say like when they mean said.

[Kingsmills]

My kids seem largely to speak american rather than english to the point of going " trick or treating " last week rather than guising.
