How many of you are down wit da yoots when it comes to slang>

[Burney]

Peng is what exactly? Buff sounds good? Creps I believe are shoes or possibly trainers? Wagwan?

Tell me you don't use 'sick' or 'mad' the way the yoots do, BGS? It would be most unbecoming.

Some of these words aren't as new as people think. So, for instance, describing a car as a 'whip' goes back to the 18th century slang for a coach or carriage. 'Gat' for gun goes back to Gatling guns and was used during the prohibition era. 'Beef' to mean argument goes back to the 19th century.
