Used to say it in the Forest Barb, not heard it around here but then not many old Glawster people in my immediate area either.

First identify your audience. If it helps to get your message across by using the vernacular, then that is appropriate.

If someone said 'Geet Lush' darn suff, we wouldn't have a clue what they were talking about!

Chatting to the offspring about 10 years ago, we decided that they had about 3 styles of talking.
- to their friends
- to their teachers (or in a formal situation)
- to us

We wouldn't dream of using their peer to peer language with them - all generations like to have a 'secret' way of talking which they think will bamboozle their parents.

I can't stand the term 'Chillax' because it is invariably used by the person who caused the other to get agitated in the first place.

Dizzi & I are posh young ladies ;-)

Well that's a gert big lie :-D :-D

I DONT EMBARASS MY GRANDKIDS
BUT I DO THEIR MUM,,GREAT UN IT

Posh down ,,,,,,my own family use this term,,,,,,,

*no its not that great,,,,,,,just posh down a bit*

I like to know the terms they use now as you can end up looking a right numpty if you've not got a clue what they are on about,

Yo daddio let's boogie cos it's far out.

Have I got this right?
I'm a streetwise old sheep me

'Posh down'?

Do you mean 'dumb down'?

I find this term quite patronising

Maybe I have got the wrong end of the stick


We are all the same, as in 'equal'

age really is just a number - I will always be in my twenties in my head :-D

hmm - just had a message sent through GR from someone called John - no not him - and it's headed "luv u" - have no idea who this person is :-D

We just say "Calmmm down" for everything here posh or not :-D ;-)

I use the term 'gert' :-(
Usually in a tortological way ie' gert great'

Ann there was a John on FA or genealogy the other day, I think you might have posted some info for him, so perhaps it' s that John? :-)

Rose

I think it's Ann's fella ;-)

what shall I wear,,,,,,,,posh or not,,,,,,,


posh it down means ,,you dont have to wear glitz,or be over glam,

not my fella - his name ain't John :-D

I've sussed it now - it is a John I was helping on FA - he's having a spot of bother using the site - now I could threaten to strangle him, which is what I did to a fellow member a few years back - and after I said that he became a friend - with benefits!!!! ;-) ;-) ;-) So I ain't saying it again
