Sando, OG and cossie livs: Abbreviations we need to say goodbye to in 2025

At immoderate constituent during the pandemic, each of the Inside Time™ addled Brits’ brains truthful permanently and irreversibly that it made america deliberation that adding a “y” and an “s” onto the extremity of 2 respective words was the funniest happening successful the world.

Now, 2 years connected from the extremity of the panny d, it is precocious clip to extremity this scourge.

From cossie livs to Bucky P and beyond, we are amended than this arsenic a nation, we conscionable are. Or possibly we aren’t, but we should beryllium trying to be.

Moreover, our declining prime successful slang has precocious evolved to instrumentality connected shades of Australian and American language, thing that we should not abide.

I’m not adjacent being each Britain archetypal astir it. We virtually person a full municipality dictionaries (cockney, roadman, etc) afloat of astonishing English slang to covet oregon usage erstwhile appropriate. So erstwhile did we each get truthful basic?

Here, we database the abbreviations that request to beryllium retired earlier 2025 successful bid for america to participate the twelvemonth with honour, similar however you cleanse yourself of misdeed earlier death.

If you’re upset with immoderate of the entries, I’m acrophobic it’s excessively bad. This isn’t a ideology and determination volition beryllium nary genny leccy. It’s a dictatorship, and bully luck abbreviating that.

It’s excessively superior now. The olive lipid is successful cages. The achromatic mould is spreading. The mice are back. We can’t beryllium lying to ourselves via the whimsy of cossie livs anymore. Life is bleak, the lone mode to get thing done is accidental it with our chest.

A deity atrocious Australian word that has dispersed crossed London similar wildfire, bringing with it a fog of monstrously ample sandwiches that you person to unhinge your jaw to eat. After you’ve taken a representation of its perfectly sliced transverse section, obviously.

It was amusive 1 time, it doesn’t request to travel backmost for 2028, oregon immoderate different ‘leccy’ that takes spot betwixt present and then. Please.

This is successful notation to the fashionable picante cocktail, beloved by a) ponces and b) radical who take to prevarication to themselves astir liking spicy margs.

Just successful lawsuit the posh Londoners hadn’t claimed them enough, they had to region to lone constituent of spice near successful the name, that sexy unaccented-yet-accented e that made them truthful fashionable successful the archetypal place, and telephone them “picants”. Picants and bants astatine Soho House is it? I volition beryllium taking myself arsenic acold distant arsenic possible!

Mainly because: Who really says this? You are perfectly lone saying this truthful that radical tin spell “What? I’ve ne'er heard that before” which gives you the small interior thrill being the archetypal idiosyncratic to person said that to them. There’s a crushed that is the case. The lone bully Tube enactment shortening is Vicky Line, it’s wherefore radical really usage it.

“Let’s leap connected the OG”, “It’s 1 halt connected the OG,”. Overground is virtually 1 much syllable, is it truly that overmuch of a stretch? Oh, it is? Sure thing, achromatic antheral trying to beryllium road.

Maybe we trivialise the royals successful bid to process our state having a ruling people amidst a outgo of surviving situation (say it successful full! Don’t fto them get distant with it!) but thing astir the royal shortenings are peculiarly bad. Luckily the ephemeral quality of “platty jubes” meant that it was 1 and gone, but Bucky P inactive lingers similar a atrocious smell. Let’s Oust that nonsense.

Get escaped of this earlier a Shoreditch barroom proprietor with excessively overmuch wealth and not capable respect for neon lighting gets a clasp of it.

“What festis are you doing this year?”, “I’m disconnected to a festi.” No! Very American sounding, nary existent lawsuit for the shortening of the word, sounds worse than the original. Ladies and gentlemen, it hits the trifecta.
