Re: Kidspeak. Odd words we used as kids?

we use to use 'eggy' in school, or 'eggggggggeeeeeeeee' depending on how much you wanted to annoy the other person. it was used for when they got angry about something if you were winding them up

LOL remember the chin one, but we also use to say "itchy beard" .

I remember saying that, also "Chin Rub" meant the same thing, that you were a bit skeptical of what someone was telling you.

Did anyone ever slap people on the forehead and say "Spam"?

Re: Kidspeak. Odd words we used as kids?

we used to say "Soda you know" instead of "So do you know" I remember playing Jinx and saying "Jinx you owe me a coke" whoever said it first had to buy the other a coke

If someone was pleased with themsleves we used to say "Do you want a chuffty badge?"

For a short time in the 80's "bad" meant "good". Nowadays it seems to have been superceeded by "sick", which incidently gets on my t*ts when I hear kids saying it.

"Pure" had a wierd meaning. If for example you had a lot of something i.e. computer games etc... you'd say "Whoa, you've got pure computer games" meaning "Whoa, you've got loads of computer games".

in the 70's round our way if we were going to someones house or area we'd say " i'm going down their Joint"

also the word "hellish" in north east england means excellent or very good unlike other parts of the country where it means the complete opposite. i remember visiting my mate at edinbrough university in the mid 90's, when asked by the scots what i thought of scotland my response "Scotland is Hellish" did not go down well

Re: Kidspeak. Odd words we used as kids?

This has been driving me mad for days now, there was a word or saying that we used that cancelled out something someone else had said or done, if someone had Trumped ,and you said this word or saying, it could not have been you,as long as you got on first it relieved you of all blame?? any one got a clue what the heck I'm on about. LOL

You're not thinking 'TAXI'S' are you Heather ??
