that's so fetch!
- djbusby 4y agoStop trying to make fetch happen.
- tomcam 4y agothat's so moosh of you
- TheMightyLlama 4y agoNah, safe.
- smcl 4y agoI was visiting Birmingham when "safe" was taking off in England (2006?) but hadn't reached Scotland yet. Was talking to a random guy in a bar, and I couldn't understand why he was so insistent that Birmingham was "safe"
- quickthrower2 4y agoSafe predates 2006 in the UK by a long distance. “Laters” was a fun one. A shibboleth to pretend you are from London if you live just outside.
- smcl 4y agoMaybe among younger people in the South East of England, but it certainly hadn't spread all the way north at that point
- tomcam 4y agoSomeone here's going to need to explain "safe" and "laters" to this Yank
- smcl 4y ago"safe" is just some slang meaning like "cool" "laters" would just be a short way of saying "see you later" - but it sounds really a bit lame and try-hard to me, or the kind of thing a middle-aged, middle-class person would write as dialogue for a working class urban teenage character in a TV show. I think quickthrower2 is saying the same thing but maybe they can correct me (sounds like they're England, so they'll know better than me). Don't worry about either, you won't hear them particularly often :)
- tomcam 4y agoThanks for scratching that itch. Laters definitely sounds contrive. Totally moosh.
- smcl 4y agoSafe, mate! (or less inauthentic, "nae bother")
- quickthrower2 4y agoYeah it was definitely try hard IMO. I said some of the old crap sayings but only said “laters” only in pure irony!
