    Words and phrases that are regarded
    as very informal, are more common
    in speech than writing, and are
    typically restricted to a particular
    context or group of people.
    • The definition of an old fogey is a derogatory
    OLD FOGEY term often used to refer to older or elderly
    people who are no longer act in current
    socially-acceptable ways or who are not aware
    of what is hip but instead who are out of touch
    with contemporary thought and activities. The
    term can also be used to describe a younger
    person to imply that they are acting old and no
    fun.

    An example of an old fogey is a grumpy old man who


    yells at kids on the street

    • Example: There is coming the old fogey Smith.


    What’s wrong Nicholass, you are acting like an old
    fogey.
    BEE’S KNEES

    To be excellent or of an
    extremely high standard

    Example:
    Have you tried this ice cream?
    It's the bee's knees, it really is.
    SKIVING AND SKIVE OFF
    To avoid work or school by staying
    away or by leaving without
    permission.

    Example:
    The company treated me as though I
    were skiving.

    I decided to skive off school and tell my


    mum I had a bad headache.
    Every language has its own ways of
    conveying particular meanings; words or
    phrases which are language-specific, or
    even specific to a particular dialect within
    a language.
    SCREW UP
    YIKES
    GOTTA /DUNNO/LEMME
    Translators have two choices when
    interpreting text: to translate literally or
    freely. In addition to that, all languages
    have two variations: standard and non-
    standard.
    EXTRA
    When someone is “extra”,
    it means they are
    unnecessarily dramatic,
    excessive, over the top or
    a “drama queen”.
    LIT
    When something is very good,
    enjoyable, or exciting, you can
    say it’s “lit”.

    Dude, the party last night was


    lit! Where were you?
    PENNY-PINCHER

    a mean grasping person


    who is usually stingy with
    money

    we've ended up treating


    that penny-pincher to
    dinner three times and she's
    never once offered to pay
