Welcome!

To the dictionary of Great Yarmouth slang! This is a diminutive dictionary of around 100 slang terms collected in 2010 from everyone’s favourite seaside town. I have collected around 100 slang terms used in the area by people who are generally aged between 12 and 30.

The glossary has been compiled as part of a final year English module called ‘Words and the World’ at the University of Leicester.

If you have any questions or additions to the glossary, please e-mail me by clicking the link below.

Warning!

The following content is a sincere linguistic reflection of slang used in the Great Yarmouth area. However, some users may find some of the content offensive. This was not my intention but users may wish to use their own discretion when reading the content.
