Title: Sick?
Post by: smurfboy on October 07, 2006, 08:18:15 pm

Okay, I'm officially old. This lad was trying a hat on in Blue Inc. today and said to his girlfriend 'this looks sick on me innit?'. I had no idea if he loved it or hated it! I spent ten minutes looking at the same shirt, probably convincing the staff I was a shoplifter in the process, just so I could see if he bought it. He did, so I presume something being 'sick' is now a good thing?!?

I've never heard that one either. Some people invent their own words thinking it will be cool and catch on.

Smurfy I have been watching "Pimp My Ride" on five for the last few weeks, and on the American version they say things are "sick" every time

I heard another ridiculous 'new' word on the news the other day. There was an item about a school in Wolverhampton that had introduced a compulsory 10-minute exercise session every morning before classes began. The Head of the school said 'this is an excellent project for life-beginners to be involved with'.

'Life-beginners'? Can't children just be called children anymore? Will we have to start calling pensioners 'life-enders'?

Yes, 'sick' now means 'good' among the Hoodies and the Chavs.  They used to say 'bad', but that's not uncool enough apparently.

In the 80s we used to say 'skill' but nobody says that anymore!

Ooooh no, I hate the 'L' word. Don't mind it in relation to lawns or the name of the shop but that's about all.
