Boxing Stance!

Hench is definitely used fairly regularly in the south. I certainly hear it used more so than other slang alternatives like stacked or built and i am a Surrey boy.

Hench, stacked, built.... Where in London are you lot all living, that you hear such youth-speak??!!
I lived in Harrow, St Johns Wood and Camden, but only in the last few years started hearing about people being 'ripped' (which sounded far scarier at the time).

I know 'buff', but that's it... Suddenly men are built, stacked, assembled, heaped, mountained, constructed, fabricated....?
I think you're making it all up!! :p
 
Ripped and buff are so 2005. Get with the times :p


Funny how there is so much slang for the same term, probably ironically made up by the 16 year old skinny, chav gym rats to describe their mates and later adopted by others around them.

I don't normally condone cruelty to animals but this made me giggle. It's the whole randomness of it all.

The guy that threw the punch is apparently 6ft 7in so the Roo probably felt a bit intimidated. :p

Is it cruel to defend yourself and your dog against a wild animal, though, or just good sense?
I think I read that they were hunting anyway, so the Roo is fair game, more so as the guy went in unarmed, in fact.
 
"A group of hunters got together to help a young cancer sufferer (terminal diagnosis) with his last wish of catching a 100 kg (220 pound) wild boar with his dogs."

What a bizarre dying wish.
 
not really talk daily with many real hunters who hunt all kind of animals bears , wild boar you name it .

its a way of life to us its not the same in the uk but obviously we have hunting communities.

The dog was already long gone and out of the Kangaroo's headlock (can't believe I'm typing this!).

"With the dog in a headlock, the man's approach initially fails to deter the kangaroo, who kicks out with its leg.
Eventually the roo releases the dog, turning its attention instead to the man".

So from that, I understand the guy is already there and trying to take action before the roo lets go of the dog... and then the man is faced with an angry roo and must take action.

I don't live in London (any more) but I've heard it all over the country, in public school, in university, in bars, in the street, up north, even in Wales.

I guess you just don't get out much ;)
 
Its a posher middle-class word imo, 1950s public school boy derived.
I heard people at uni say it 20 years ago for the first time.
lol
