Two immortal words forever associated with a state of disbelief amongst peers:
Chinny Reckon
That evolved into "I'm growing a beard!" at our school, accompanied by the stroking of said mythical beard down to the naval.Chinny Reckon

Snap - food (also snap tin - lunch box)
Tuffies - sweets
Dont think I've ever heard these anywhere else.
Was your Grandad from Nottingham?Snap - food (also snap tin - lunch box)
Tuffies - sweets
Dont think I've ever heard these anywhere else.
I grew up there and still use both of those and bugger lugs for an idiot.

And for people of a certain age (ashamed to say I was one) A 'Joey' or a 'Deacon'. Was a horrible term for anyone you thought to be stupid based upon a rather brave disabled guy who appeared on Blue Peter circa 1980.
That's not going to get you off for what you said back then!Those spaz mobiles, are they even legal nowadays?
We did the chin-stroking thing, it was after watching Jimmy Hill on MOTD. Every time he made a prediction that went tits-up, he would stroke his beard. It meant being a liar or being very wrong.
My Dad was at Trent College and still uses bugger-luggs. In Guernsey we used Cat, as in cat's pee, if something was rubbish. When something is broken, it's Futu.

- This one sometimes led to the trap-conversation 'Have you got skill?' 'Yes.' 'Urgh, it's an African bum disease!'
"Dudey" was one that meant "good".
Not to be confused with Doody, which was poo-poo.
