Zonino cuz! JSYK I have this really book book that I jacked when you were bi-podding with that dullard arm candy who is obv. skett. It’s quality irritainment IMHO. Hush your gums though. Feel me?
If, unlike me, you understood any of that then you are one of the enlightened few who are clearly street and the world is yours my son, and everything in it.
Fortunately for the rest of us, Lucy Tobin’s brilliantly funny (and also quite informative) dictionary should go some way towards clearing the fog that clouds our brains as soon as we see text speak.
Pimp Your Vocab is exhaustively researched; clearly a great deal of work was required for Tobin to source the root of all the words, acronyms and phrases that appear in it.
My personal favourite is ‘irritainment’, which refers to any kind of entertainment that is addictive but trashy. Tobin suggests The Jeremy Kyle Show as the perfect example of this.
What you have here is a fun introduction to ‘kidult’ speak that would be the perfect stocking filler or silly gift for a Grandparent who wants to embarrass their Grandchildren.
Jog on…
Andrew, came across this review while looking up responses to my book and just wanted to say thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
