Words that you used as a kid that are now outdated or deemed political incorrect...I have so many but will start with....
Spasmo.
Not altogether sure what we were trying to imply with its use but for a few years, when I was a cadet saving lives in the St John's Ambulance, Perrin Rd, Sudbury, this word was all the go. |  |

My mum dusted off a slang term I had not heard in many a year just yesterday: Twerp.
She used the term in connection with Boris and his daily update side-kicks. That told them. |  |

I still hear Goron Bennett to some degree and use it occaisonally - these americanisms today.
Don't get my old man started on "Guys" (as in" hey guys" etc) |
This cracked me up and reminds me of the sort of chap your Dad dislikes.

Slang that I've never heard in the wild: chief used as a synonym for wánker, as described in Zadie Smith's White Teeth, set in NW London in the 80s and 90s. I know of chief used instead of guv or mate (probably obsolete by the 90s) but never wánker. Anyone else heard it in that context? |  |

The young lady who works for me who comes from St Lucia called me a pillock the other day. Her mastering of proper English rather than the Americanisation of the English language she uses back home is coming on a treat. | |

At my school in NW London, Chief was short for Batty Chief, which was a anti gay slur.. Was in the 90s anyway. [Post edited 18 Mar 2020 20:18]
