the most commonly used slang is probably "sweet as" the way they use it in a sentence is like if you were going to say "that movie was so sweet!" they would say "that movie was sweet as!"

thats definately the most used one. and they can say it with other words too like "cold as" or "fun as"

anyways, hope that helps!

Terms that teens use:

- chur (said in agreement, like "yes", "thank you")
- sweet ("awesome", "cool" or "thanks")
- sweet as ("that's alright", "cool", thanks", awesome")

- kaka stain - means "poo stain" - it's an insult
- choice - means "awesome" or maybe "sounds good"
- lucky dip - this is when you get something at random. For example, you may have a basket of small items (but they are all different) at a store that are all wrapped up in the same paper so you don't know what is inside. You buy it without knowing what it may be. Therefore "lucky" (happens randomly, by chance, sometimes beneficial) and "dip" (putting your hand in something and bringing something else out with it).


zanthe w
-kaka stain = it depends how they said it like you kaka stain is like calling u a Sh*t stain like its bad a insult
-choice = Great or awesome (sweet we are going for fish and chips
-lucky dip - don't know this 1 sorry

Heh.. Kaka - ..crap.. literally.

Choice - Cool/Great/Neat.

Lucky Dip - ..this is a type of lotto ticket. You can buy a lucky dip (random set of numbers) or pick your own numbers.
Also they do lucky dip sometimes at shops.. wrap a bunch of smaller (junky) toys in seperate parcels.. Charge $2 per parcel (Or thereabouts) and the kid picks a parcel and gets whatever they get.
