SLANGING IT

Is this Internet slang? Not really. Try it. It’s winning hearts and minds and trending on Twitter.

SUP

No, not supper. It’s a teen slang for “What’s up?”

CRAIC

Pronounced as crack. An Irish word that means catching up on the latest gossip,

fun, music and drinking. So, “What’s the craic?”

HOPS

Be careful how you use it. It’s actually a 19th-century slang (How hops it?) that now stands for “How’s it going?”. But for the Net-savvy, it also means Heroin.

KNACKERED

Are you stressed out? Say, “you look absolutely knackered.” A top trending slang word, it also means other things: From a shifty out-of-town traveller to a male body part. So take care.
