Seeen - 'I understand' or 'it is clear to me now'.


Booted - 'ugly'.


Breeze - 'waffle'. EG, 'Stop chatting breeze man'.


Cuzza - derived from 'cousin'. Often used in place of 'bro'.


Next man - 'somone else'. EG, 'Next man was saying', 'and then next man jumped in'.

besides Seen and next man, them words mus be only used from wherever ur from, not up ere anyway!


some lad from nelson at the camp, my room-mate, he couldnt stop saying 'is it?'. its cold......'is it'. nice jacket there....'is it'. even when it didnt make sense - theyre calling us down...'is it'. annoying.


my list:


chichi man, chbillin, and the phrase 'thaaaaaaaaaats it innit'


note: i dont use these, or hardly any of em, just what i hear every day

MuslimSisLilSis — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:14

LOL-Mr Ed if u wanted lessons in slang why didn’t u just say so 😉


If something’s “bate” that means be careful u can get caught doing it


U can also say that’s “hot”


If u get caught you’ve been “clocked” and if someone tells on u they’ve “grassed u up” Or G’d up (grassed up)


More then one man is known as “mans” not men


Something REALLY good its “heavy” “bad” or “sick”


If someone keeps on letting u down they’re “long” if someone ignores u they’ve “blanked u” if someone stands u up they’ve “skanked u” ...(u fit all of these 😉 )


If someone is ugly they’re “butterz” if someone is good looking they are “buff” or “Fit” (u can also say Buffness or Fitness)..in Manchester u call good looking people “Bum” (no joke)


If u get on with someone or can relate to them they’re “bare safe” or “on a level”


I'll add to this list daily


EDIT-if u get ur "kicks" outta doing sumin that means u really enjoy doing it


Sirus — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:29

most of those above are commonly used words and not just street slang anymore


aye, when i heard sum1 say 'bum' i was :shock:


workin in manchester left me confused, couldnt understand a single word. he's 'deakin' me. (giving dirty loooks) or hes givin me dirties (glary looks)


coddswallop - jus heard sum1 on this forum say it, cant say i heard that 1 b4! 🙂


muslim_kuri — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:33

'giving me dirties or giving me daggers' are common


but i have never heard the word 'bum' being used to describe someone whos good looking...thats got 2b the funniest one yet! 😂


Sirus — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 19:37

its worse twhen they use it 2 describe a person! but i think it has died down now, not 2 sure. eventually most die down and have a new name.


sick/phat used 2 be heavy/mint and god knows wat else

buff used 2 be bum wich used 2 be fit


kids these days eh :roll:

What is the current status of 'safe'?


Is it used outside Birmingham? If so, has it become too common?


My mates say 'safe' instead of 'bye', 'huda hafiz' or 'salaam'.


muslim_kuri — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 20:11

it has become too common+yeh its still used instead of 'bye'


MuslimSister — Tue, 9 Aug 2005 - 22:19

Slang ruins your ability to talk properly. It might seem cool to know all the lyrics….. but if your not hanging out in the streets or with street people then such lingo seems embarrassing/common and out of place.


Throughout high school I spoke like that cos all my friends did and I fitted in with them ….then when I got a place in some snobby sixth form I suddenly become conscious about the way I spoke because everyone spoke the Queens English….them guys taught me how to talk properly.


I find it stress free and easy to talk to people my age or people younger then me… but I have to be careful when speaking in professional environments and have to think before I speak.


This lingo is difficult to shake off sometimes.


p.s "Safe" has become too common and means too many different things...


It can mean Bye or thanks..."she's safe" means that she's alright...


MuslimSisLilSis — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 09:43

if a someone is dating someone they're "checkin" or "dealing"


if someone "went sick on you" or "went sick" means they lost their temper


if a girl is dating more than one boy she has "bare mans on the line"


"on my jays" means on my own


"got jacked" means got robbed


Sirus — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 11:57

i was dealin sum gyal an her mans went sick on me, i clocked em one day and they started deakin me, n then they jacked me on my jays 😂

[quote="Hayder Sabri"]i was dealin sum gyal an her mans went sick on me, i clocked em one day and they started deakin me, n then they jacked me on my jays :lol:[/quote]


A grammatically correct slang sentence….but I don’t understand how you “clocked them”. Don’t you mean “you got clocked”?


Sajid Iqbal — Wed, 10 Aug 2005 - 14:33

sum slang words we use in ali wanna be and jamal article, well in this issue:


buzzin'- feel really good

chat like dat- speak like that

got mashed- got drunk

raas man- no real meaning, you use it when you are shocked, excited...

mingin-ugly

bare respect- i have alot of respect for you

dollars- used more money aswell

sick cars- very good car


[b]so what new slang words should we use in the next one..but ones which everyone will understand , not just local ones...[/b]

the term 'ah raas' actually derives from afro-carribean dilect and whilst i dont knw the literal meaning, its actually quite an obscene word. english lessons as school 4 ya 🙂
