Out of date slang. Give me your out of date slang. NOW! Hand it over, you wally.

My personal favourites-

Skill! (preferably with both thumbs aloft)
Doss-house (as in "stoatie, your room looks like a doss-house. Tidy it by Saturday or it's no pocket money for you.")
Racy (as in "Barbarella? Isn't that a bit, well, y'know, racy?")
Blue (as in "he's very funny, but he's very blue"- with regard to comedians. And movies, obviously.)
And my own top number one favourite bestest bestest one of all time:

KNOCKING SHOP.

(after which I shall one day name a band).

knockers (as above)
Mary ('he's a bit of a Mary')
Scrubber ('you dirty scrubber!')

Ecky Bemmmm!

Usually used to indicate that one, or one's friend, had just told an enormous lie. Spoken with tongue thrust into space between lower lip and teeth.

Magic, our Morris.

"Mmmmarrow!!!" (said while stroking one's chin to indicate disbelief.)

...and you may think you could beat me at Connect 4...
but bring on Turn the Terrible Tank or Buckaroo and we'll see who's laughing.
(Possibly not Buckaroo, actually... my coordination's not what it was...)

Wazzock, or Twazzock. Premium insults.

And does the word "kiffed" mean anything to anyone? We used to say it all the time in school - it meant broken or crap or generally wrong, but I think it must be some degenerate local hillbilly word as I've never heard it anywhere else..

But I still use the word 'wazzock' .
How about ACE!
Do people use the phrase 'you fat jabba'?

these aren't fun or enlightening if you don't say what they mean, motherfuckers.
 
 
Spatula Clarke
21:24 / 05.07.02
Chinny reckon means roughly the same as ecky bemmmm.

Most of my slang is older than the 70's. Why? Because dey got more moxie, that's why. Here's some anyways:

"Trick" (e.g.: "You see Steve's new banana seat bike? It's so trick!")
"Choice" (e.g.: "That new double chamber in 'High Times' is choice!")

More as I think of 'em...

22:15 / 05.07.02
Oh thought it was obvious

Wazzock - evolution of Pillock, an idiot but with emphasis, its also fun to roll around on the tongue.
'you fat Jabba' - You're so fat you look like Jabba the Hut.
 
 
Spatula Clarke
22:26 / 05.07.02
Arris (as in "Get off your fat arris")

What about "gifted" as a compliment for a nice piece of artwork?

That's gifted!

What happened to that thing where if you don't believe someone you rub your chin in an exaggerated manner and go "mmmmm-mmmm...."?

Not a lot, I'll wager.
 
 
Spatula Clarke
17:28 / 07.07.02
That's a cousin of chinny reckon, Riz. The chin stroking would become more and more exaggerated each time with the eventual outcome being a chin-stroke that either reached to arm's length or twisted round your head.

Snotrag. Flid.

*Radical
*Awesome
*Deckid (actual spelling unknown)
*Tubular

For some reason that I never quite grasped, my friends and I spent most of the Seventies seeking out balding men and chanting at them in the street:

"Oi, you, over there! What's it like to have no hair? Is it good? Is it bad? Is it like a Brillo pad?"

I never really got the Brillo pad bit, but it became an almost obligatory routine. Now, of course, most of the kids I hung around with have succumbed to male pattern baldness.

Whatever did happen to white dog poo? I've tried growing some in my back garden, but because of my dog's diet, they either wash down to nothing in the rain (not conducive to good white dog poo) or go mouldy.

Joey brought back a few memories - never did find out what it meant, but it wasn't good. I'd like to add 'guff' and 'rippler', hopefully both of which are self explanatory. Guff did enjoy a revival not too long ago, mostly in the north from my experience, but I feel it should be used more.

On a side bar, I found that when I reached a certain age [about 20], I found a great joy in using words that I'd have been far too embarrassed to use when I was a cool teenager. Poo is the obvious one, but I find wee-wee and tinkle very satisfying. Also plopsies.
Just me?

" Joey brought back a few memories - never did find out what it meant, but it wasn't good. "

Surely you remember the masterful piece of programme planning that was giving one Joey Deacon a guest slot on Blue Peter?

Look, God, I know we're all skirting round the issue (and I'm looking at you, Ganesh) but someone had to do it:
