Can anyone translate street speak !

[DonOne]

Stopped at the lights the other day when a wide boy pulled up next to me on his scooter and shouted through the window "Your car is sick man!"
Was he being complimentry?
Not sure, can anyone help?

Yup, it's a compliment in the same ilk as the american slang 'your car is bad'

Oh dear, maybe I shouldn't of made the comment of his scooter resembling the wifes hairdryer!

True, true

If I see him again I'll thank him for being so polite. Must get a translation book from somewhere so I don't make the same mistake again.

Yeah, I got confused by this one at first, too. Was out for a drive with a few of the PH guys & gals when we stopped at a pub. Some little kid said Rods' T350T (the one in all the press photos) was a sick colour. I got told my car sounded sick by a kid the other day, too, and it took me a couple of seconds to stop panicking about there being something wrong with the 'zorst/engine and accept the compliment.

I could always lend you a teenager, I have to try and make sense out of this nonsense on a daily basis!

So it's no good when you phone in to work sick then?

i brought a teenager (not mine) on a run recently. He was "well stoked"

We only ever used to say that referring to Thomas the Tank Engine

shuffles away + feels very old

So can I take it from all this, I can describe my car as a sick, safe selector? And I thought it was just plain wicked! Tel

You've forgotten 'bad'

At one time....everything good was 'bad'

Now..it's just 'sick'

I don't understand it...I really don't.

Think I'll go and get my Saga mag and have another read!!!!
