KiDulthood is a good film, BUT there is a french film out there called ‘La Haine’ that every fan of KiDulthood should watch.

timhortons

skeen/seen are used interchangeably (mean the same thing)

Yat = any female

Pagan is usually used to refer to cops/snitches eg yo there’s that pagan yat that ratted the other day

Ratted = snitched

lostscrews-deactivated20160504

Pagan and Yat are a first for me.

Now that I almost never hear/use these, I can see how they may look so weird to people lol.

amuseinherfeelingss

wag1 usually means ‘what’s going on/what’s up’

and i didn’t know “ber” was spelt like that i been spelling it “bare” my whole life lmao

also u can say “gassed” in the sense that someone’s getting big-headed e.g. “yh okay stop gettin gassed”

other words/phrases i use/hear all the time:

mate/g/fam/blud/bruv/lad = generally means close friend but u can also use it with anyone even if ur not that close e.g. “nah fam/bruv”, “what u sayin lad”, “what u sayin g”, “how’s it goin fam” etc

soz = sorry

nuff = lots of (kinda synonymous with ber)

93-7

aradiantchild

Some of this is patois. West Indians use some of these words.

^ what he said

yasminirl

looooool im laughing that this exists

samiratastic

i can’t believe nobody said wasteman: an irritating twat

youknowyourealondonerwhen

Wasteman isn't someone who cleans up waste, that's an important job in society. Wasteman is someone whose existence is so pointless, they might as well be a piece of waste, hence man of waste; wasteman.

Also, can we all please elect MPs who would casually use all these words in Parliament? I bare wanna see Sky news pagans perplexed by the vocab.
