Question I drive a "sick" car . . .Do you???

Greeting and salutation o worthy ones!

Just thought I would share this experience with you . . There I was parked up near a high rise in N.London waiting for my friend . .. Some kids from the playground (couldn't have been older than 10 y.o) saw my blue rocket in all its glory and gathered round . . . .Immediately, the hardest member of the gang was delegated to approach me . .

So he saiz . ." Like your car . . Is it a rally car??? " . To which the answer was in the affirmative . .Next thing I know he asks if he can sit in it . .I reply that "Sorry but no time" . . . .But the most perplexing aspect of this story is that the whole gang was unanimous in complimentig my car by saying . . " That's a sick car " . . .

Right . .So here's they question . . As familiar as I may be with North London dialects - when someone calls your car "SICK" . , does that mean its a nice car . .And if so - do you lovely people consider yr car to be "Sick" . . .Answers on a post card!

Also, do you think the right course of action would have been to let the kid sit in the car and then say - "Right mate . .I you like the car, and you one day want one 1 day, then go to school ., work hard, get straight A's, go to uni - work even harder and one day a car like this could be yours" . . .

Or is that a bit dodgy!

I used to call my other car Gordon Brown as it costs so much to run.

Bit like the Tax Vampire.

In a few years the slang will be 'your car is ****' I, however, am ahead of the game in this respect, I think scoobs have been **** for years

Lets us over 21's try and get hip with the times. Let see if i got this right. If its sick, bad, or grose that means good! So if the ear yar yo's trackies tucked into sox's boyz & girlz say it nice would that make it bad!

Yes . .My thoughts exactly . . .Quite perplexing isn't it? I think nice would simply mean mediocre . . .I personally thought of my Scoob as GROOVY . .But there you go! Turns out its "SICK" . .Jimmy Hendrix eat your heart out!

I was sat there wondering how he could see my prop shaft???

Grose is definately not the same as sick....

"It's a sick ride" is the same as "It's proper dirty man"
Meaning dirty as in evil, slick and ******* awesome....

Like my **** is hot, my **** is banging, I like your **** and thats ****'s off the heeezeee
Or "thats bad man"......doesn't mean poor it just means MJ - who's bad?

I am Tripple'O G and everything else is just a game......so watch dem yewtlings.....cause they like your wip but will key the **** outta it when you'r not around.....

Peace

You can't poke fun at the kids for their street talk, especially when you look at the grammar and spelling here
