I'm 22 and have never used any of those words in the context your using.

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.

I am an old fogey but language changes all the time and I don't mind that except; 'Happy out'
What does that even mean?

JacquesDeLad

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.

Chill brah it's just a prank! Look, there's a camera right over there!

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.

See I told you I was an old fogey!

"Happy out" she emotes.

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.

You're the archbishop of banterbury!

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'.

Pumpkinseeds

No. I don't speak like that as I don't speak Walmart.

This thread has hit me right in the feels.

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?

Yes but can language regress, we are hardly going to end up with grunts and whistles?
New words come into daily use all the time.

You'd think they'd speak proper like, innit?

I personally find myself delving into Middle English with thoughts of 'oh squire' and whatnot.

Can't wait for one of those kunts to get shot to out an end to some of the absolute bullsh!t they're calling pranks on YouTube nowadays

foggy_lad

I don't mind young people talking this awful shoite on the dort because there is always a chance they will cop on when they have to pay their own way in ife but when i hear 40 something well heeled hipsters talking like teens in their skinny jeans it makes me think we are all fooked.

Was showing my five year old son something yesterday when he told me that it 'looks like something from back in the 1994's'. I am hoping that he meant 1940's and somehow got mixed up because I'm not mentally ready to accept the 90's were long enough ago to be referenced like that.

This must be confined to certain areas or a certain demographic, rather than ages I think. I work with teens and thankfully none of them speak like this. "Session moths" is the only phrase mentioned here that's used in these parts.

"Oldthinkers unbellyfeel Ingsoc."

"It's a beautiful thing, the Destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well. It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word, which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take ‘good,’ for instance. If you have a word like ‘good,’ what need is there for a word like ‘bad’? ‘Ungood’ will do just as well – better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not.

Or again, if you want a stronger version of ‘good,’ what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like ‘excellent’ and ‘splendid’ and all the rest of them? ‘Plusgood’ covers the meaning or ‘doubleplusgood’ if you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already, but in the final version of Newspeak there'll be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words – in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston?

By curtailing frivolous and "fighting" words, the Party seeks to narrow the range of thought altogether, such that eventually, thoughtcrime will be literally impossible.

Urban dictionary for fleek:

Fleek
To **** on ones education and pull **** out of their ass and call them words.
My definition is on fleek.

Herb Powell

Your problem may have been that you're on the DORT, OP.

As a relatively young fella myself, I find it really funny to see people commenting on Facebook/etc in a language they would never use speaking. I'm not talking about **** grammar etc, I mean the American slang you mentioned.
