Lol we used Meff in school, forgot about that.

Lots of school insults here which i guess the OP wasnt really after

Slang as in rhyming or just old sayings?

Because they are dictionary words which arn't being used in any slang context.

How are those mentioned old slang? I still use more than 50% of them in my everyday conversations

How about 'naff' ?

Directly means 'What's the inside information' often just used as an alternative to 'What's happening/going on'

not sure if this is old or not, but i still called people "pleb" lol

e.g "what a pleb"

It's a shortened form of 'plebian', which is over 2000 years old, maybe as old as 2700 years. So yes, it's old
