Help me out guys, give me some optimism, we've got something other than 9/11, right? 9/11, Brexit, Covid I'd.l rather have Mooneys list. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peterw Posted August 18, 2023 Share Posted August 18, 2023 I remember around my late teens saying 'top' a lot as an adjective that would describe the excellence of whatever was the main noun in focus. My phase abruptly stopped and i realised I wasn't being cool when I pronounce "top hat" to much confusion. I sounded a tit then as much as i do now recalling it.

Being old has its compensations. Nonsense. It never happened. It was faked. It was filmed on a studio set. When Peter Withe scores that goal he's got 4 shadows all going in different directions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I've started saying fave instead of favourite. And a scouse mate got me saying deffo... I quickly realised today that I'm deffo fine with youngsters saying bantz. Just as well otherwise I'd be a hypocrite! (E.g. What was wrong with the word favourite?! Well sometimes maybe it is simply just about making a long word shorter, to speak more quickly and easily). I suppose every generation invents some new words when they're young. In their teens and 20s. Part of their culture, group identity, creativity... a bit of fun too.. perhaps also some subconscious desire to be different from their parents' generation, a bit rebellious even in a way.
