    I said I was under 40, I never mentioned anything about being a ****.
    While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

      thing is 'cool' is no longer cool, its used more by peeps in their 30's but not as a statement of how awesome something is but more an afirmation - you don't tend to hear young 'uns saying cool much

        I say 'boss', 'rad' or 'crucial!'

          What about 'blad'? Or do you have to be black for that?

              Surely 30 somethings would say it's non heinous ?

                But it's now cool to say cool where I live, and it features in a fair few adverts too.

                  Don't call people "Old boy", or "Old fruit" (means something else these days).

                  Oh, and for flip's sake don't say "dash it all".

                  (I know an 80 year old who is guilty on all counts.)

                    Which is exactly why it's still cool for older people to say it.

                      blud. Meaning blood, or kin.

                      "bare" is apparently the current adjective replacing "good". But that was two weeks ago so it has probably changed now...
