    Yes but it works both ways a lot of the newer slang and cultural crossover is due to hip hop and in the UK grime.

    Fresh, swag, fo sure or shizzle come to mind.

    Cheers all!

    There's a good selection there so I can make a few lessons depending on level and age.

    As for teaching the history of the words...Nah. I'll briefly mention something but I won't go into details. Without going into too much detail and boring you too much, I am working at a summer camp so the lessons are about practicing and producing the language in a fun way as opposed to lecturing them about etymology...which could put them to sleep.

    If I get some good or funny stuff, I'll video it and post it.

    I was in a Starbucks in NYC once and shared a table with lady soverign, aside from her accent she's a really nice girl, (although I wasnt sure if she was flirting with me or not)

    One that keeps popping up at the minute (especially with young black men in the UK) is referring to oneself as "man." Examples: "Man don't care," "Man got bills" and "Man new whip."

    Odd.

    Good to see that our short haired, Ben Sherman-wearing friends from the '60s have been written out of British cultural history once again.

    45 years on and the hippies and academics are still holding grudges!

    You really should. I'll bet your class is a riot. Your students probably don't know how lucky they are to have it off the beaten path.

    My wife warn't so lucky when she took her ESL, it was done in the dry, etymological style that you spoke of and to this day, everything she says sounds so ... formal?

    I'll be hitting the MT bag downstairs, sweating buckets and she'll come down and say something like "I see that you are producing much moisture"

    And I'll be like ... [​IMG]

    Brass also means prostitute,in the north puff means homosexual and skag means heroin.

    I'd also advise you not to use the word 'yiddy' around jewish people lol.
