A Conversation for Talking Point: Slang
New Slang(?)
andyd-185 Started conversation Feb 4, 2010
I've been racking my brains trying to think of slang used by the under twenties but i've only got 3:
"Google it" - if you ever ask anyone young for information we'll tell you to google it.
"Innit" - used intermittently in conversation, I try not to use it, but it just comes out.
"Lol" - Texting lingo, meaning "laugh out loud" (yes, some people do use it when talking too)
Can anyone else think of anything else?

I remember a while ago hearing the word 'buff' used a lot to describe a member of the opposite sex who was deemed to be 'fit' (attractive). Also, if something's 'sick' it's pretty amazing or worthy of remark. And I sound like a boring old uncle.

"sick" was a looong time ago but i reckon buff is still used by girls talking about guys, not to me though, .
guys talking about girls has a lot of slang phrases but none that i'd repeat on this site.
