Not your granny mounting a door knob for sexual pleasure......

 

....no I'm talking the saying that kids of today have for things that are cool, good, trendy, etc.

 

 

Which got me thinking - what words and sayings did we have as kids in the 70s/80s/90s.

 

"Ace", "Fab" and "Brill" were typical ones from decades back.

 

And in the 90s, "Mega"

 

Sure there's tons more you can all remember.

Bolton Wanderers are magic,'

Whilst saying " Magic", did you not have to put your 2 thumbs up in a Selwynn Froggitt stylee?

Are you still allowed to call folk 'spak'?

Did you not have to say "Joey" whilst you did that?

What about stroking your chin towards a blatant liar and saying "chinny!"?

Are you still allowed to call folk 'spak'?

 

Some of the young folk in my office point at each other and say the word shell if someone does something stupid.

 

I'd never heard that one before?
