    Do people speak like this now?

    What is wrong with twenty-year-olds today?

    I just almost killed myself on the dart.

    Blame the internet duuude. Now Irish people are only 5 years behind Americans and 2.5 behind the Brits instead of the 50 and 25 when we only had TV.

    It's when that ****e starts to creep into formal settings that I get worried. The Googlisation of the workplace. W1A does a great send-up of it.

    That's not new slang at all. You can take it literally to mean one has a positive outwardly demeanor. Like so: :). Notice the smile on the face. This relays the emotions of the small yellow person.

    OP, please say the 91 in your username is not your year of birth, because someone born in the 90s being "auld fella" is too much for those of us born in the 70s to take. :o
    (Not that I disagree with you that those words are annoying - bae... dafuq?!)

    There's only one word that makes me turn around and walk. Nothing good ever follows use of the word 'Chillax'.

    It's like saying 'Here is my life history, as you can clearly see I'm a very uninteresting person'.

    Just been out with my crew on a beach, beer and bifters hype. Banter dropping all over the shop, proper merked some alright mates, was like "Here he ****ing is! You alright there, mate?" Totally sick, man, innit?

    Spent the last few days with three English guys and this was basically how they talked 80% of the time, abolute nutters. Great craic but just when I read the OP was immediately reminded of English banter, which is just so different for me.

    Definitely regresses with all the totes, amaze, ridic, emosh, bantz, etc. I get that they are short for the real words but where the fu*k did fleek come from? And what does it mean?
