I've noticed alot of people saying, "That is cracking!" or "That sounds cracker!" I feel old to be asking this, but is this the latest "in" thing to say? The hip thing? Man, am I old?! When I was in school we said, "That's fresh." hahaha

Lol fresh? hehe i really only hear that on american telly shows. On my side of the world, 'Thats cracker' 'they're cracker' or even 'cracking' have been around for donkeys years, its just a phrase used. I've heard my parentals and people of all ages use it here. an 'in' word at the moment might be 'Phat' (which i hate) errr 'fit' 'minga' ive heard a hell of a lot here which surprises me coz the first time i heard people using it was that crazy lot from Englandro, and 'pants' lol i started using that here, its funny....and many more lol. in NZ 'Churr' is a popular word. People using it left, right and centre.

PHAT..Pretty Hot And Tasty, LOL! I heard that on tv a few days ago. I think that has been around in America for a long time now thanks to rap music. What is churr supposed to mean? I've heard minga being used on British TV, but I don't know what it means.

I just learned Any Road which appearantly mean Anyways!That's great!Lol! That's quite a northern saying! Which makes it a cracker ( see what I did there?) Bestever.

Cracker means stunning? What does any road mean? Kind of like "anyway"? Don't feel bad about not knowing what bollocks meant. When I first watched Ab Fab I was lost. I had to go online and look up British dictionary slang words and try to find the closest thing to what I had thought they were saying. Now I know. I've been enriched greatly by the show.
