My brats have started using the English language in a way That means I am no longer always 100% sure of what they are saying.
Below are some words that I know the meaning of, having beaten the meanings out of them! Please feel free to add or request meanings. It will help me and maybe you or others!
Bates = Honourable.
Reem = Well fit.
Book = Cool.
Skeen = Lucky/Jealous.
Jacks = Five pounds.
There are more... And a lot of meanings seem to have changed!!
'You can't give a person who has periods too much responsibility!'
Well I now feel old! The only one I know is reem and only because it's from that bloody TOWIE shite that's all over the tv
"Never say never, because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion"
My god even at 22 I'm now feeling i'm further and further away from my youth lol. I thought I knew most of the cool hip words but it seems not anymore lol. The only one I recognise is Reem from TOWIE... thats about it.
Although experience has taught me that words can change in meaning according to where your placed geographically, I moved from Yorkshire when I was ten down to Devon and found that words and their meanings completely changed!

common ones i seem to hear are skank and sket, what we used to call a slapper apparently, north London

"Education, n.: That which discloses to the wise and disguises from the foolish their lack of understanding"
Jacks - for a fiver has come around again, was about when I was a youth, think it's cockney rhyming slang.
Epic/Epic fail - I think I get it, but I couldn't explain it.
Sick - this is one down this way to describe "epic" surfing waves.
I guess cool and hip and radical just won't cut it anymore ;-)
far as i know spanner epic fails is when someone cocks up big time especially if its filmed and put on the net, will ask the boy
Sket !! I love that word, it's horrible but when people say it in London accent !!
Bang tidy means fit I think, like "look at her she's bang tidy" that man who does celeb juice is a bit weird tho no wonder he put them both together!!

Here are a few from Middlesex (Uxbridge/West Drayton way). I hear the following from my lot at school (thank the gods for half-term because I needed a break from it!)
Bare - meaning 'lots' or 'very', as in 'it's bare cold today' or 'teacher gave us bare homework'
Sick - meaning really, really cool
Butters - meaning 'ugly' when applied to people, or 'nasty' when applied to other things, like food.
My dss (from Essex) came over not too long ago and was using these words, mainly sick. Which I took offence to until someone pointed out what it actually meant.
I was quite confused for the ten days!
Carpe Diem
"Wit is educated insolence."
I find that using the words that they use makes them so uncool they refrain from using them at home! Whatever!
Oooh that one was around when I was 11!! Never used it though 'cos I always thought it sounded stupid and chavvy (or scally as it was back then!)
