It's a really common term in Liverpool. :lol: I hear it on a daily basis.

You suppose? :lol:

I think the more important question here is why are you pronouncing bird "beard"? Could that not mean girls are thinking you're calling them your "beard"? :rofl:

On a serious note, you do you. :yep: It's just a term that's always irked me. It's always felt quite dehumanising to me, but personal preference.
What's even more cringe is condescension.
'What a lad' - just no

No idea why people think banter is slang.

They only make me cringe when used online.

Rarted
Skeen
Violated (I have overheard people saying this and it sounds rapey, I know its used as an indication that someone has been decimated in a verbal altercation. But still. It sounds gross.)
Leggo (whats so hard about saying lets go? Why does it need to be shortened?)

Ah, that makes a lot more sense. :yep:

I thought you meant you actively pronounced it like that -- which doesn't make sense now, but it was early. :redface: Apologies.

Are you from Birmingham, like your profile says? I always thought "bird" was more of a Liverpool thing. :holmes:
