bum - to enjoy something: "he bums that game so much". And there are levels of bummage - to really like something is to "bum it blue", but "he bummed it black" means he used to like it but has since gone off it.
That's the only one I've ever used![]()
Urban dictionary (.com) is the best place to look up "teen talk".
cotch down - to hang out, relax, chill out or sleep. Possibly derived, via patois, from the French "se coucher", meaning to lie down. See also kotch.
They are thinking about it too much.
crump - a multi-purpose term which can be an insult, an exclamation and a rather explicit sex act. It generally means bad, but can also mean good, depending on the context: "that ain't good man, it's crump" or "that's one crump message you left there".
No, they've just mis-spelled/mis-pronounced crap
Gotta love the BBC sometimes. They try hard, they really do.
Urban dictionary daily emails... great
clappin' - out of date or worn out, usually to describe attire or accessories, as in "man, my tracksuit is clappin'. Gotta get down JJB Sport and buy a new one." Also means tired out.

None of this UK slang makes any sense to me. I don't understand the etymology behind it.

I'm a teen, I spent about 6 hours last night on the 'street' and yet I understood less than fifth of those words..
Fair enough- no i wasn't and I don't hang out with anyone who wears baseball caps 24/7, so I'm probably near the bottom of the chav scale.
