swansont Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 I have actually seen an email only (ie scanned to pdf) copy of a hard copy letter called a low carbon copy - the sender was old enough to be doing it knowingly. That may mean low carbon footprint, electronic vs paper. i.e. low-carbon copy, vs low carbon-copy, though I would suspect the person didn't know the context.

Royston Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 (edited) I'll have your guts for garters. You big girls blouse. Minger. Mush (e.g 'oi mush, get down from there !'). Square (not the shape, obviously). Having a shin dig, or alternatively, have a right old knees up. Bad (to mean good). Nancy boy.

Xittenn Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 He didn't like the cut of your jib. Jib has made quite the come back in terms of street slang, but its usage is highly indicative of the shitty way things are going these days. The word is now used on the streets to mean crystal meth or variations of meth amphetamines! I just thought I might point that out . . . unless this is what you meant ? ?

swansont Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 Pretty sure jibs are still in use. I may be three sheets to the wind right now, so don't take my word for it. It might just be scuttlebutt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hypervalent_iodine Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 scrumdiddlyumptious I definitely still use that word. This doesn't really fit the description in the title, but I'm going to add the semicolon to the list; try though I though I do to keep it alive.
