Slagging

orangetictac · 2009-06-24 23:25:20

I am just looking for some opinions on the matter. Slagging seems to be the most common form of humour amongst us youngings(especially lads) Just wondering if you actually thinks its funny as you and your "mate" have a game of insult ping-pong. I dont mean "your ma" kinda stuff....but stuff that actually applies to you if…

Never had a "slagging match" since that seems very retarded, but we do bring up stupid things we've done all the time.
Generally it's obvious from the way they say it and the context surrounding whether they're trying to be an asshole or just have a laugh (and generally it's the latter, since I don't hang around with aggressive assholes).

I a slag now and again both on the recieving and giving end as long as it's funny. No need for it to get malicious.
