    Trendy words kids use today that don't make sense....

    Was on a train home from work last night, and heard a group of younger folks (teenage brats in other words) using the word 'sick' to describe a person is a good way.. As in 'oh my god he's so sick'.... Sick?? Am i getting old or something? Meant something completely in my day, or maybe im not just 'with it' anymore...

    I don't know about at home, but here they use the likes of 'Crunk' (crazy & drunk) and 'bounce' (leave). I'm not 'with it' anymore either. They are all f'd up I tell ye. Young ones. What to do, what to do.
    Did you ever notice that in every painting of Adam & Eve, they have belly buttons. Think about that...take as long as you want.

    Not so much a "younger" persons word but it took me a while to figure out what "y'ken" means when I first got here.

    maybe they’re just made up so us old wans wont have a notion what the hell they’re on about.... kids today eh. Incidentally with the ‘sick’ slang, using that in a good sense about someone, why would describing someone as ‘the bomb’ be good? i mean general destruction and all that... (a puzzled 'oldie') Actually what the hell does 'y'ken' mean too?

    Y'ken means "do you understand". Pretty old, that one.

    Here's one I don't understand: F*cking Bebo. Satan's arse, that; by muppets, for muppets.

    I've got my own dirty woman - god love her - and an enormous collection of porn, what would I want with blurry shots of some cheap ignorant slapper that'd probably scream rape - statutory most likely - if you so much as looked at her sideways in the street?

    Nah, I think the OP is right. Pretty sure I've heard it on one of those young people's channels, like MTV. (What is the deal with MTV now. Talk about garbage. And where's the M!?)

    That looks a nice easy computer above Dahamsta - where do I sign up??

    MTV and WH1 seem to have forgottn music. It appears to be all reality sh!t now.
    I use youtube and it's amazing how much good video music out there is available - why does even Kerrang ignore all the great rock over the years except for the occasional Zep video. You never see Deep Purple, Seger, CCR etc on it.

    Is it because some record companies are financially involved in these video-music channels so you only see their stuff??

    Occasionally, Scuzz shows a broader range of good rock but it too has a lot of crap also.

    BTW I think the word groovy is......eh....groovy.
