What's the suss? (Gus)

iamstop

And other obsolete slang you don't really hear much these days.

Does anyone still say 'get your shift'?
I still say something or someone is sound but we used to say 'sound as a round pound you found on the ground'.
Not heard anyone say anything was gas in a while.
Going for a slash is another rare one.

Any from your area?

'Hop on the bus, Gus' I've heard alright. Must have been some junkie somewhere.

It's a Paul Simon lyric. Not so sure he is/was a junkie.

Can you explain another reason why someone called Paul would ask people to call him Al?

From Wikipedia:

The names in the song came from an incident at a party that Simon went to with his then-wife Peggy Harper. French composer and conductor Pierre Boulez, who was attending the same party, mistakenly referred to Paul as "Al" and to Peggy as "Betty", inspiring Simon to write a song.

When we were younger, we never said "shift" or "snog". We would say "meet" so if Jane kissed John we would say "Jane met John". If she was seeing him then we would say "Jane is meeting John".

I used to think that meant following the person very slowly, i.e. stalling.

"Can we not just walk at our regular pace?"

A lad I used to know got the nickname 'Stall' because he used it so often, after escaping Dublin to live in my town. It wasn't used here.

"Ye, just got here now, this place is bleedin' jamaroochi" - This place is very busy, there are a lot of people in this area.

Yeah, I hear almost all of them every day. All that dub slang is still used by chungwans and chungfeddas.

Rehab has become 'ya bleedin' handicap'. Much classier.

I understood "ston" to be short of "next on that" and said as "ston that" or just someone would say "ston it" if someone else looked like they were going to go for it next.

If you said no some scumbags would say "fair search" meaning they actually wanted to search your pockets for smokes of money. An old term for scumbags like this was "flecks".

Hash was called "5 spot" or "a 10 spot" meaning a fiver or tenners worth.
