Local Slang

22 Nov 2004

What words and phrases are unique to your part of the world ?
I was compiling a lexicon of slang terms that are common in my home town when I discovered that someone has published a book of them already.
Here are a few of my favourites:
Langern. 1 Penis.2 Idiot
From this we get "langers" as in "langers drunk".
BaznPubic Hair.
This is derived from the local word for a haircut which is "bazzer" , a name also given to the barber.
MebnTesticle. More commonly used in the plural. To make a mebs of something= to fuck things up.
Fla1 vt To fuck 2 n Fuck.
Flaed out= shagged out, knackered, etc.
Throw in the singy-songy-uppy-downy local accent, and no outsider can understand us.
What expressions are used where you live that are unlikely to be found elsewhere confused

Let's hear 'em biggrin

Which part though? I'm no expert, but I've been to a few places in Scotland and there seems to be as much variation there as anywhere else. Gittaefuckhameyesassenbassa seems fairly universal though. :lol2:
