Street talk
OUR chief reporter Steve Still has been talking to the kids.
Well he’s been trying, as they now speak a totally different lingo to him.
Him being a genuine Eastender, he thought he knew it all when it came to slang.
But he was in for a shock, when he found his old cockney apple and pear rhymes were well and truly out of moda.
He had stepped onto one of those bendy buses, and thought he would do try to communicate with those wicked hip-hop yoofs of Ealing.
And by the sounds of it he was taught a real lesson in street language – did you know buff means nice, butters means ugly, blood means friend and allowit means forget about it.
That’s just a few of the words and phrases he learnt, and he is now preparing a glossary of the street lingo which seems to be prevalent.
Well, it’s all shaping up for nicely for Easter – just when everyone thought it was getting quiet we managed to pull of an excellent exclusive.
Don’t forget we've also got some excellent Easter discount offers in Friday’s paper which will help with cost over the holidays.
Anyway I’ll be in Uxbridge tomorrow, so let me take this opportunity to wish you all a Happy Easter – or should it be a Buff Easter.
