- These are two letters that seem to be left off words in America. I never heard anyone say something was "really nice" or "really cool", they would say real nice and real cool. We would be sent to the back of the class for grammar like that!
This is one of those words where you say almost the same thing as us, but just can't be fagged to finish it off. The word is "really", not real. You say things like it's real hot, something's real cool, a baby is real cute. If we said that we would be sent to the back of the class for our grammar - or lack of it!
Ubiquitous insult used by kids from the various secondary modern schools against us Grammar School kids (one of the last in the country) if you were spotted in your uniform. The reply was usually "Thicko!" - esp. if you were in a gang or feeling brave/suicidal/a good runner and on your own.
n textbook. A very antiquated term – would be met with blank stares by most schoolchildren these days. Can’t think of anything witty to add. If you’re sitting there working on a “grammar / grandma” joke, please don’t. Whatever it was, my father has probably already used it.
Self explanatory and was used to refer to people presumed to have ginger coloured pubic hair. The person responsible for this 'crime' was thus referred to as a 'GINGER MINGER'. More interestingly, the phrase survived the trip from Primary to Secondary education, although with a few notable changes. The pronunciation altered so that the phrase was pronounced with French vowels: "gonge monge". Furthermore at Bishop Vesey's Grammar School, the contributor can remember that the phrase was also used to refer to a particular sort of ginger cake available at school dinners. They had a red haired hard of hearing dinner lady in charge of cakes, and so much pleasure was derived by asking for this cake by its nickname. Asking the woman: "Can I have a slice of ginge minge please?" was a phrase so loaded with meaning that at the time it seemed the schoolboy equivalent of Shakespeare.
(HEK-ah) adv., Very, extremely. Grammar school variation of “hella.â€Â  “That’s a hecka fresh ride!â€Â Also: hecksa. (Variation: Heck-city. “That’s heck-city good!â€) [Etym., Berkeley]

(ed: entered verbatim): This is pretty widly used and accepted in the US; I'm not sure if it is in other English- speaking countries, so I shall assume that it is exclusive to America.. Since the unisex pronoun in English is the same as the male pronoun (he, him, his), one can get confused very quickly when referring to someone whose gender you do not know. Such as making a reference to someone in the car ahead of you. "What's his problem?" Or when referring to an anonymous person. "So, who is she?" It is too lengthy to say "he or she, him or her, etc." And the gender is unknown, so it would presumptuous to make a decision on the gender. And since it's not widly known that the male pronoun is also considered a universal pronoun, people would think you presumptuous when saying "he." So people will use the plural pronoun (they, them, theirs) in place. It is not correct grammar, because it is not a group of people to whom you're referring - it's a single person. But since they is genderless, it is commonly used in place of a gender specific pronoun, and except in the grammar classes, is generally accepted., This may just be grammar nit-picking, but I thought it perhaps to be considered slangish.
