Hip With The Kids
By Clive Python | 14jammar
Anyway, let us jump into The Times arcicle from September of 2013. Nothing will prepare you for this.
Their parents, however, most likely do not: just as they have no idea
what derp means, let alone butters or jank.
[...]
Claire Hardaker, Professor of Linguistics at Lancaster University, has
translated passages from Romeo and Juliet and Oliver Twist into the
language young people use online. She said: "Children have always been
wonderful innovators who delight in creating new words [...] with
young people increasingly communicating online, soaking up dozens of new
words, slang language is evolving at lightning speed, particularly words
of praise or insult.
Okay, so everything seems to be fine here, right... well... not so. While Club Penguin
did make a very small
PDF of slang words
used by
The original goes as so...
The master was a fat, healthy man; but he turned very pale.
He gazed in stupefied astonishment on the small rebel for
some seconds; and then clung for support to the copper.
The assistants were paralysed with wonder; the boys with fear.
"What!" said the master at length, in a faint voice.
"Please, sir," replied Oliver, "I want some more."
The master aimed a blow at Oliver's head with the ladle;
pinioned him in his arms; and shrieked aloud for the beadle.
The board were sitting in solemn conclave, when Mr Bumble
rushed into the room in great excitement, and addressing
the gentleman in the high chair, said: "Mr Limbkins, I
beg your pardon, sir! Oliver Twist has asked for more!"
And the updated story by "WorkhouseWaif (Oliver Twist)" called "Worst. Day. Ever."...
Now if you're feeling like you want to hang yourself after reading that, don't worry, most
people will feel the same way too after reading it.
Anyway, my crappy writing style is nothing to that of the Netmums forum. Let's see what the users of said site
think of all of this...
Rachel H writes...
Gayle swoops in and writes...
And our last quote from Netmums comes from Shannon W, who writes...
Geordies
have lots of slang words such as Aye (Yes) and
I Divina (I dont know) I'm very used to these and many
other of these phrases as I am a geordie and some of the
phrases of Geordie shore are stupid they basically made
them up.
Different parts of the county have different term. Every
accent have there own slang words its not the kids its
the area they are brought up in they get there slang from.
While reading forum comments of Netmums is fine for a hours or three, it's not as good as reading
comments found on The Daily Mail!
Al Beverley from Beverley writes this pint...
jenny from "napoli" writes...
Expat in Vancouver knows what's going on...
While looking at the references I failed to see any links that lead to Club Penguin apart from a now dead link that
leads to a 404. The link was the aforementioned
PDF.
If you have a link/copy/miscellaneous information of "WorkhouseWaif (Oliver Twist)", the translated passages from Romeo and Juliet and the
Club Penguin guide, please contact me via my
Twitter
or
E-Mail.
Thanks!

Let's go back to the past, to read some shitty articles, that suck ass. While looking thru my computer, I found that I had an article from
The Times called "You thought Lol was weird.txt" and inside it was a shitty article talking about how Club Penguin
(RIP)
made a great guide
for rents
to learn all about the hip slang of their stupid, overstimulated millennial child, who keeps on screaming
thru a broken headset at his other pumped-up-on sugar friends at..
Young people, and those who spend much of their lives online, may be aware
that jelly is not just a wobbly pudding, that swag has nothing to do with
burglars and beach does not always refer to a sandy place by the seaside.
little shits
children, they also
had the balls to dig up the grave of Charles Dickens and shit all over his masterpiece Oliver Twist (in a figure of speech).
You see, they updated the iconic scene where Oliver asks for more food. it is painful to read.
"Please, sir, I want some more."
OMG... crabbiest dy EVR. @dnr hd 2 ask th WkHs Mstr 4sum mr gruel. He's a

I've never heard anyone speak like that in real life, those aren't even words just horrible sounds!! My dd
is only 23 months old and her speech is really brilliant and I want it to stay that way, I will refuse to
let her grow up talking like some kind of moron!
Ive heard a few of those words normally on reality shows not in RL however i
always wondered what YOLO means and learnt this week what it does mean from
Philip Schoffield on This Morning!!
Ive seriously never heard of anyone of these apart from Reem thanks to
joey essex
and YOLO as it very overused and I'm only 20.
Kids don't talk like this its just ridiculous there is
many slang words out there that children use but within
there own communities and different parts of the country.
In London they tend to use INNIT alot its getting very
overused on Eastenders.
In the time it took to compile and publish playground language will have changed.
If children cant speak english
then I wont bother with them until they learn !
I urge the Grandparents to fight back on this one, and embarrass
their grandkids by making up slang adult language... They might
start to use proper English then! For instance, start telling
your friends (and grandkids!) things like 'LTMNAT' - 'Laughing
Too Much Need Another Tena', 'DMTACFT' - 'Dropped My Teeth,
And Cant Find Them', 'NTMIWBAC' - 'Never Too Much Info Where
Bowels Are Concerned', 'CQIHAA' - 'Come Quick, I've Had An
Accident', 'NMTLFAC' - Never Mind, Too Late, Fetch A Cloth...
'grids' - 'grandkids', 'K-Pats' - Knitting Patterns, 'bogo' -
'buy one, get one' (can be used when referring to pensioners
day down the local cafe - ie. 'ooh yes, it's bogo day on
breakfasts on Tuesday's!'), and so on, and so forth... Before
you know it, kids will be thinking that the olds are so lameand
will be begging for their own personal copy of the Oxford
Dictionary. Maybe.
