Sophie, as you I think are the only Sophie I knew at CH will know that I used to overuse CH slang when at CH and now having left for 5 yearts sometimes still use the word baffed, or and am afraid to say, goody.... *sigh*Sophie wrote:okay this will get me sent to the nearest mental insitute...
I was never in Col,
I am definately not gay,
and *occationally* I STILL say "Goody"
omg I can't believe I admitted that. Lol
Guys as i remember it,
Ricky, was started up in 95/96, in Lamb B and the thing got wildley out of hand.
I also remember in 99 the word BOSH was used to its full extent in Peele A. Trades as i recall were in house tidying but also as julian said to do trades in dining hall. Dont quote me on this but i'm sure it ended when the new queing for food sytem came in.
Is the word Tuck still used?

Housey slang
Toyce - little desk thing in the common room. You put up a curtain and pretended it was a kind of mini study.
Fruit Bat (scary one this) - attractive person. Usually applied to a younger boy in a slightly belittling way. A fruit bat walking past Peele B in the early '80's would probably be met with a barrage of ironic (or not!) wolf whistles. I was sooo glad when the boys' and girls' schools started to come together!!!
Fruity - see above
Milky - fat, overweight
I'm sure there are loads more. I'll have a think...

Curtains across toyce entrances reminded me of something I'd completely forgotten!

The little oasis of personal space created by a high-backed toyce, with a curtain, a poster on the wall - suddenly, it almost felt like home!
