"Calm your farm" and other teenage expressions
Posted by Mousey on 4 February 2010 - 9:13am.
Earlier today I asked my 14yr old daughter to put out the recycling - the third request in half an hour - and my voice obviously showed some anger/frustration because she looked at me disparagingly and said "calm your farm Dad".
Brilliant.
What could I say?
Any other awesome teenage put-downs out there?

That's bare good
The only ones I know are blates known by a wider audience anyway, but I'll obvs be using "calm your farm" now (only to annoy my parents, natch).
Once these phrases reach the tipping point is the point they cease to be cool, so perhaps I shouldn't use it, so Miss Dasent retains her credibility. I'm sure "take a chill pill" used to be used by kids loads, until it was commonly heard from the generation above.
Like, OMG, LOL, ROFL, BRB, TTFN, RSPCA etc.
Speak to the hand!

My niece can simply say "Hello" in a way which means "you dim twat".
My favourite is still 'wevs'
said with a dismissive shrug
I like the 'W'
made with the 2 thumbs and index fingers and delivered in total silence.
What-evahh! My 11 year old niece does it with maximum attitude.
I am only vaguely aware of teenageisms
thanks to younger cousins who are facebook friends. However they seem to communicate solely via emoticons so the actual pronunciations elude me.
*rustles Daily Mail, harrumphs quietly*
Dad, you,re "Clamped"....
Whenever my three daughters deem me to be wrong about...well anything. If i can,t prove my point then i,m "clamped" Watertight cases, written proof, verbal confirmation....nothing works, i,m always bloody "clamped"!!
