Dictionary of Playground Slang (Online)

Accusation that you have been apprehended by authorities for some anti-social action on the basis of false information or the implicit intervention of an agent provocateur to the extent one can claim to have been 'stitched up' - or something.

Australian idiom meaning 'extremely hungry'.

When someone calls you names, you respond by saying this. e.g.

Someone else: You're gay.
You: I know you are.

Jewellry.

Playground punishment/torture consisting of the rotation of skin near the wrist in two opposing directions simultaneously causing friction burns or a sensation of heat in the victims forearm.

(ed: entered verbatim - anyone have more information please?)

Means "buzz off", but with the force of "f--- off". Used in Ipswich in elementary schools in the late 40's, early 50's., I suspect, and I would dearly love to have someone investigate this, that this expression was picked up from British soldiers and/or US airmen returning from the Pacific front in WWII, and I suspect that they adapted it from the Japanese verb "ikimasu", to go.

Acronym for 'I don't give a damn'. In response to someone saying something entirely trivial, uninteresting or completely irrelevant. Idagd is the abbreviated form of 'fmdidgad', pronounced 'fumd-idgad'. This in turn is an abbreviation of the line from "Gone with the Wind", namely, "Frankly my dear, i don't give a damn". Often this line is only partially abbreviated, so delivered, "Frankly my dear...idgad".

Abbreviation for "If Destroyed More True". An alternative to IDST, used to discourage the victim from deleting it. e.g. if I wrote 'David is gay IDST', David would cross it out to stop people reading it, but if it was IDMT, I would then say he is more gay than before., 1980s, UK(NE). Some have argued that the IDMT doesn't refer to the IDMT itself, so are careful to cross out the IDMT first, so destroy the message without it becoming more true. e.g.

David is gay <-- IDMT
becomes (after David sees it)
David is gay
which is then crossed out.

This has led to long chains of IDMTs, e.g.
David is gay <-- IDMT <-- IDMT <-- IDMT <-- IDMT <-- IDMT If David is determined to remove the message, he just deletes the last IDMT, then the next one, etc.

This loophole can be plugged by putting the last IDMT in a non-obvious place, such as on the back of the lockers it was written on. If David crosses out the last visible IDMT, I then say he hasn't crossed the one out that was round the back, so taunt him about being extremely gay.

IDST is an abbreviation for "If Destroyed Still True". This is written after a piece of defamatory graffiti e.g. "Mark is a fat jabba IDST" to tell everyone that the statement is a true one. Variations include INDST - If Not Destroyed Still True. Contributor not sure when this first appeared but it was known when he was at school and he still sees it on walls today.

Used as a complement to 'nephs.' Replaces such prepositions as 'man' or 'yo.' For instance, one would say "Nephs ike the steelers are gonna win today." Or without nephs, "Hey ike, lets go get something to eat?".

Trickster, someone not to be trusted.

Shortened form of imbecile

Pregnant. Shortened form of "In the pudding club". Term originated in use by unmarroed mothers who when asked if they were "expecting" said they were not, but were concealing a pudding under their coats which they obtained from a savings club.

A replacement for "Goodbye" or "See you later," as in "I will see you in a bit (of time)." e.g. "Inabit kidder!" Contributor claims to have coined this as a word in 1995 at the age of 9, at one "hometime" at Rathbone School (now demolished,). He was told that people were using this word before that time, but would like someone to confirm it please.

Almost identical to Chinese Burn. i.e. you twist the victim's forearm skin in opposite directions.

Giving a person something with the intention of reclaiming it at some future date, or gives you something and claims they loaned it to you instead and want it back.

Only cure for the lurgi. Persons being given the lurgi, would then have to run after other perons and try to touch them and shout "lurgi", then pretend to inject their arm, and shout "injectified", so that that person could not transmit the lurgi back to them!!!

Unfortunately it wore off after a while, and people who smelled developed extremely strong strains of the lurgi, which couldn't be combatted by injectifying!

Contracted form of "isn't it?", doesn't it, don't they etc. Origin possible UK Euro-Asian, although I heard it during the 1960's in Italian restaurants in South Wales. Prob. adaptation of earlier "it-int, int-it", London usage similar meaning. Pronounced with stress on 1st and 3rd syll. Example of use: "You goin' wi mi sister, init".

May thus be used in interrogative form or may be used rhetorically - init!

(ed: many thanks to my friend Kevin Allen for making that totally incomprehensible!)

This is an extended and less friendly version of "ip dip..." selection chant as used in primary school.

Ip dip dog shit
Fucking bastard dirty git
You are not it.

When working out who was "it" for a game, you'd all put your left foot in a circle, and then one of you would say...
Ip dip dog shit
You are not on it.
... whilst touching each foot in turn. Was an accepted method of choosing who was it .

Sophie has expanded on that with the following:

For the Ip Dip... there is also a version that goes

Ip dip
Sky Blue
Granny sittin' on the loo
Drop a bomb
Sing a song
Out goes you.
