"Youf-Speak" - any favourites?

[Answerprancer]

I don't go out of my way to learn expressions that youngsters use but I have caught myself using a few (often tongue in cheek though) eg. "pwned", "what ever", "cool", "dissing", "laters". Though most irritate me, I quite like a few of them, mainly because I think they're funny.

I like and use whatever but can't work out when to use 'random'

[Eve]

Oh my life! My cousins says that one a lot :)

[dotty.]

I still use 'crikey' 'ecky thump' and 'gosh' .

[Stephen_G]

Whatever and laters are two of mine.

[boxtops]

what's laters mean? Is it like, this aft?

[Answerprancer]

Oh yes, I forgot about "random" - I use that quite a lot too, I know exactly what it means (in the 'youf' sense of the meaning).
You just reminded me Jenna - "Oh my dayz!" is another.

An example of "laters/z" used in conversation:
"Ok cheers mate, see you tomorrow"
"..yep, laters"
("bye bye" in other words!)

[boxtops]

Ah, the equivalent of "tara a bit" in Brum-ese then....

[welshlibranr]

My grandchildren use 'cool' lots! Now I find myself using the word too!...........Must have rubbed off on me!...............lol..............

Most of the yoof (and not so yoof) I hear in the street seem to have a vocabulary largely consisting of the F word....

Don't know whether you'd class it as 'yoof-speak' or not, but I once witnessed a young lady demonstrate to her friend how she was going to pose the next time she met the male object of her desire. The line went thus:

"Y'know when ah see 'im, riiiigghhtt, when ah see 'im, riiiigghhtt. riiiigghhtt, when ah see 'im, yeah, ahgoosani'is!", all uttered in the space of about half a second, during which time she simultaneously struck up the intended alluring pose.

I think, roughly translated, what she said meant, "When I see him, this is how I'm going to stand.

Gip, love it

[Prudie]

Is gip now part of yoof speak too? LOL my nan used to say that all the time!

[Answerprancer]

eh? as in "gor blimey guvnor, the old war wound is giving me gip!" ?

[Prudie]

That's the one AP

It's very rare (thank fek) that a youngster gives me a sideyways frown when I say something outside my generation, sad when it does though.
Here's an example of it in action:

I tend to use cockney speak a lot which is bizarre as I am from the midlands
