Fresh creps roadman

[SteveR]

I know that Peak means bad and Bare means really good. Go figure....

YES! I argued this one, I thought well a peak is a high point so it must be good surely. Peak times.

In the mid-1960s I was posted to Newquay Police Station. As a fresh-faced youngster I was deemed to be more in touch with the wave of degenerates and dropouts that inhabited the place then. This led to my start in the world of journalism; a notelet designed to help combat the wave (sorry) of crime amongst the surfing community.
May I present my efforts with the glow of pride at revealing to the world my first literary outpouring that the caretaker didn't make me wash off.

Can we use this term every time a pair of 'nearly new' size 7 brogues appears on SC from now on?

That was my plan. And I'm sure that of many others!

I too thought this was some sort of reference to a roadside crepe stall of some description. Fraise confiture sil vous plait? I do like a good crepe, not sure on the French spelling though.

This has all been very enlightening.

I am also reliably informed that 'wysg' constitutes a suitable greeting by text.
It stands for 'wot u saying g'.
G being a diminution of 'gangster'

My 14 year old came out with a "sownbt"

What is a sownbt I ask - "someone with nothing better todo"

Ahhh, I thought it meant...

It's BT's responsibility.

Thats a very good question

I'm 36 and back when I was 18-21 at college and uni we used the word fresh a lot, and spending a lot of time around greater London, even I know that creps are trainers. Must be a London word that has spread. Although you never said fresh creps, you used the word Nang. Same meaning but f**k knows where it came from.

And.......‘He/she has no clue’ (he/she has no idea)
And. ‘My bad’

Probs just getting old, language has always changed and developed so nothing new I suppose

This week my eleven year old daughter received a holiday e-mail message from her best friend and classmate, who is South Korean. It was signed off with 'best regards'.

That is.... frightening.

Some idiot at work kept saying "fair" - It means fair enough supposedly.

Can someone help a brother out, what's the meaning please of the last couple of examples...

[DaniJ]

I know that Peak means bad and Bare means really good. Go figure....

Bare can also mean bad and lots. It's like the scene in Donnie Brasco with "forget about it" it's all in the way it is said and context.

This will explain a few things for some of you struggling to understand.

'Chalky' von Schmitt a spy you say?

[Brian]

Very well, where do I begin? My father was a relentlessly self-improving boulangerie owner from Belgium with low grade narcolepsy and a penchant for buggery. My mother was a fifteen year-old French prostitute named Chloe with webbed feet.

My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes, he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament.

My childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring, we’d make meat helmets.

When I was insolent, I was placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds – pretty standard, really. At the age of twelve, I received my first scribe.

At the age of fourteen, a Zoroastrian named Vilma ritualistically shaved my testicles. At the age of 18, I went off to evil medical school. At the age of 25, I took up tap dancing. I wanted to be a quadruple threat — an actor, dancer…

...........................I am a dynamic figure, often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. I have been known to remodel train stations on my lunch breaks, making them more efficient in the area of heat retention. I translate ethnic slurs for Kenyan refugees, I write award-winning operas, I manage time efficiently. Occasionally, I tread water for three days in a row.

I woo women with my sensuous and godlike trombone playing, I can pilot bicycles up severe inclines with unflagging speed, and I cook Thirty-Minute Cakes in twenty minutes. I am an expert in stucco, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Peru.

Using only a hoe and a large glass of water, I once single-handedly defended a small village in the Amazon Basin from a horde of ferocious army ants. I play bluegrass cello, I had trials with Manchester United, I am the subject of numerous documentaries. When I’m bored, I build large suspension bridges in my garden. I enjoy urban hang gliding. On Wednesdays, before evening Business school, I repair electrical appliances free of charge.

I am an abstract artist, a concrete analyst, and a ruthless bookie. Critics world-wide swoon over my original line of corduroy evening wear. I don’t perspire. I am a private citizen, yet I receive fan mail. I have appeared on Through the Keyhole and won the gold plaque. Last summer I toured Eastern Europe with a travelling centrifugal-force demonstration. I run the lOOm in 9.65 secs. My deft floral arrangements have earned me fame in international botany circles. Children trust me.

I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I once read Paradise Lost, Moby Dick, and David Copperfield in one day and still had time to refurbish an entire dining room that evening. I know the exact location of every food item in the supermarket. I have performed several covert operations for the CIA. I sleep once a week, when I do sleep, I sleep in a chair. While on vacation in Canada, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. The laws of physics do not apply to me.

I balance, I weave, I dodge, I frolic, and my bills are all paid. On weekends, to let off steam, I participate in full-contact origami. Years ago I discovered the meaning of life but forgot to write it down. I have made extraordinary four course meals using only some vegetables and a Breville Toaster. I breed prize-winning clams. I have won bullfights in Madrid, cliff-diving competitions in Sri Lanka, and chess competitions at the Kremlin. I have played Hamlet, I have performed open-heart surgery, and I have spoken with Elvis.

But I have not yet…...........described my son as anything other than a git!!!!

I read an article recently about abbreviations and how we communicate compared to 15 years ago and we are slowly reducing our language and almost becoming binary which is how a machine talks so maybe we are going to be controlled ny machines or maybe we already are and this is a game

I finally got to try this on my 15yo on Saturday when I took him to the pub for a few rounds of billiards. He was wearing some kind of hybrid sneaker that appears to have morphed into grandpas slippers, but that is all the rage in his age group. He was just about to take a shot and I quite boldly said 'fresh creps roadman'. The next 10 sec were priceless as he froze, contorted, withdrew from his shot and with a totally flumoxxed look on his face retored with 'I cannot believe you just said that!' If only I was cool enough to have a bro youth comeback but alas, I reverted back to boring old dad at that point. He was later probing me trying to understand how I could come out with words that were so much from his world

So thanks Seikopath, we need more!

[seikopath]

^Awks.





Time. Rack.

[tempfort]

So can we clarify exactly what "fresh creps roadman" actually means?

I'm in my 30's and honestly have literally no idea what any part of those words mean, in the sense they were used by the yoof in question! And I am not trying to be deliberately obtuse! But I am now curious. I wonder if it's a locality thing as I have not heard that sort of speak here, though no part of my life causes me to interact with anyone much younger than myself.

To be honest, some of the phrases the extremely old Lancashire folk use are equally baffling!

I thought it was French street food.

[Passenger]

I thought it was a dyslexic mushroom peddlar.

Yup I find the first example annoying, bloomin' Americanism, I'd pay good money for a waiting person to respond with, " yes get up on your hind legs porky, waddle over to the bar/kitchen and get it yourself", and where did please and thank/you disappear too, good manners cost nothing.

......where did please and thank/you disappear too, good manners cost nothing.

This is chiefly in shops.
The cashier scans the products, totals up and spews £xx.xxp.... and that’s it !
No please, and then after handing payment over to them, there’s no Thank You!

Makes my blood boil !!!!

I believe that fresh creps means nice sneakers.

The ‘can I get a latte’? In a coffee shop really grinds my beans. I want to say ‘go on then’ and watch them wrestle with the coffee machine themselves whilst the guy behind the counter takes a break. Makes absolutely no sense grammatically. I’m nearly 50 so perhaps that’s why I’m easily irked?!

You are not alone and I’m in my 30s.

“Can I get a latte?”
“No. I’ll get it, you can have it. That’s how this business works.”
