Welcome!

I am a third year undergraduate currently studying English at the University of Leicester. For a project on Slang and the WWW I have compiled this glossary. It contains slang used by myself and a close group of friends, aged 18-25. The slang collected here comes from various social settings and contains the slang used when we play competitive football together. All the participants are native English speakers, but not all are from England.

We all live here....
