'LAD'

Lakeland · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:24

Does this term annoy you as well? I'm sick to death of hearing it :rolleyes:

I don't normally moan, but this one grinds my boat.

The whole idea that being a 'LAD' is cool makes weep, being a **** in public does not make you cool (imo of course)

LiE · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:27

This word is normally used by the 'boys' when they are 'on it'.

yea, not a cool word.

Jay794 · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:27

You must really hate "Lad-ette" then

I always get called Lad by old people

"Now then, Lad"

Seems like a Northern/Midlander thing to me

Any sort of slang talk in general grinds my gears.

It's clear you aren't much of a lad. I'm pretty laddish so if you want any pointers to improve your banter I'd be happy to help.

How could this possibly offend?

Banter is a word I've been hearing a lot of recently. Every time someone cracks a joke about someone else it's 'BANTER!'.

I think that's different. This is more of the type of context I mean: "you're a propper LAD you are, cool as ****, banter.."

Now that is a phrase I dislike! Said by all the lads and lad-ettes.

"On it tonight with the girlies".

No problem buddy. First off you need to hit the gym (I recommend a bicep/chest/bicep three day split) and start shopping in Topman for t-shirts slightly too small for you.

Come back when done.

How can they be different, they're spelt exactly the same? and refer to the same thing - A bloke

YEAH MATE HAD A BANGING NIGHT I SET MY BUM ON FIRE FOR THE BANTER AS I'M SUCH A LEGEND.

Lad culture is all about acting like a total moron for the 'banter'. It's awful.

Participant · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:32

Good work Janesy B - the B obviously stands for Banter?

Or is it 'Banned'

.

How on earth can English be your first language and you not understand we have lots of words with more than one meaning?
