Blast from the Past
 
Ok....i thought i would start this to bring back some words we used in our younger years and that we think about and they make us laugh !!

Today, on my way to work i heard the word SKELP on the radio and i was p*ssing myself.....I havent heard that word in a long time.

The other one i think of is DINGY BOW BOW, i dont even know why this would have ever been made up as a phrase...i think i came from a scary place and it makes me understand why no-one understands us :ohmy::p:rofl::p

anyone remember any words that will give us a laugh!

Joey - I think it came from an episode of Blue Peter and a disabled guy called Joey Deacon was on, and from then on kids country wide would call each other Joeys.

This is awaful when you think back and I feel quite ashamed :o

However along the same lines

Spazz and flid.
