    I am going to do the same with the word ****. "Wow dude (pronounced dyude) that's a really **** piece of skateboarding you did there!"

    "Thanks mum. This is really **** apple pie you made."
    Wait until you find out that 'dank' is now an adjective meaning 'excellent'. This confused the fúck out of me, I have to say.

    Master WES tells me when I do something silly or in an incorrect manner that I am a 'melt'.

    Yes, I quite like 'melt'. Dank, on the other hand, is just wrong.

    Apparently a derivative of 'tuna melt', which is now seen as being something embarrassing and dated.

    I never understood the combination of tuna and melted cheese. Always seemed wrong to me.

    However, I doubt this derivation. Surely it's as simple as just being someone who melts when things get too hot?

    Dunno, Burney. He uses it because his mates in his house at school use it, I expect. Although that was the explanation he offered me.

    Dank means weed, doesn't it? Proper skunk, not the boring old Thai stuff.

    One of my fellow jurors was a charming young maths teacher at a secondary school, who brought a spliff with him every day which he was happy to share at lunchtime.

    He advised me that the occasional rock of crack is a most charming thing, and not dangerously moreish at all. One assumes his judgement is good.

    He was probably a communist, of course. All teachers are, these days.

    I was thinking I quite fancied a go on some crack while watching a thing about the international drug trade the other day.
