PigletsPal, That's my understanding also,

I remember when my children were young, If anyone over the age of abt 25 used a slang word it immediately became uncool and banished from their vocabulary

It is not always the words you say but how you say it.

What can often be said face to face or over the phone can come off far more officious in print.

Of course even face to face words can be misinterpreted.

Friend - a grandmother had been given a lovely drawing of a shark by her grandson.

She said " Oh that is lovely Colin is that Jaws?"

To which Colin said "Of course it is mine I drew it."

Yep NS and I'll report you again if you ever use that word to me in the context you used it previously...so be aware, I don't "Chillax" when ordered to by strangers using a condescending manner!

THAT'S the "context"!

Sue, the Telegraph is also my newspaper of choice........maybe we is 'posh' :-D

Nah Cyns - you have to read The Times, Guardian or Independent to be 'Posh' ;-) :-D

I suppose the best one is the one you can get the most peices out of to hang on the back of the toilet door. :-D :-D :-D :-D

Push off Rollo with correcting my post, you try swyping on a mobile phone whilst travelling along the M4 :-P :-P :-P


~~~~~~~~~~~~~to the other posh people :-D :-D

Merlin - its not posh for the loo - you just get more square per sheet (yes I said sheet!!) than with the Mirror, Sun or Mail

:-D :-D

I don't like Chillax. I prefer chilled white wine whilst relaxing.


:-D :-D

I assume Supercrutch was not driving. Of course not.

Use of a smartphone in the hand for any purpose while driving is illegal 3pts £ 60 fine. A guy near where we live forced another vehicle off the road while using his smart phone. 3 people died.

Got to agree with age thing or aging hippy, its like an OAP saying its "groovy " erm not when you say it Granddad :-D It also reminds me of 40 + youth worker trying to " get down with the kids " :-|

** High fives **
Rambling Rose I remember it well my dear I am sure I remarked on how the medication had kicked in :-P

I'm orf to 'rep my ends' ;-)

Every generation has it's own way of expressing themselves, and I guess that some of the previous generation, dont like it

I have had assignments in.....with street/text speak. Errrrr.......referred

I too think Chillax is one for the kids, aging hippies and those trying to sound cool.

I've just asked my son if he had heard the word chillax, his response, he has heard it and thinks it's sloppy English used by lazy people. None of his peers use it as it's uncool.

Just to set the record straight, a proper Londoner wouldn't use the word chillax, it's a dopey word.

bet those over 40/50/60+ will remember the in words of their days.

hip,
fab,
cool,
rock-on,
no-way.
naff off.
dude.and many more.

which I'm sure our parents raised an eyebrow to.


recent,
wicked,sick.etc.

now its chillax and a few others,,,,,it will soon be replaced by a more rap inspired word.

Just asked my 14 year old granddaughter about the word "Chillax" She said you only ever hear Kids use it:-0 So I asked what age these kids would be she said between abt 7 and 11 year olds

Roy

chillax Its a word used by lots of ages,,,,,,,a phase that will pass,,,,

duff is a new one on the block....

Kay is there a new meaning to 'duff' ?

I thought duff as been around for years, most of my life in fact. to duff someone means to me as give them a beating. Does it now have a new meaning?

Oh my daze the Guardian is even discussing it today.

Checked it is a word in the Oxford dictionary along with my next best saying take a chill pill.
