    My boys and their peers in this area use the word 'rape' to mean you're going to lose/get stitched up - as in 'we got raped at football' - it's a horrible phrase to use, and I've urged them to think if they were having such a conversation on the bus .... eg.. 'Josh is gonna get raped at the weekend' what would people think, they might even report it to the police. They don't think anything of it though, it's just another slang word to them.


    DD and friends use the term 'beasting' when talking about looking at other folks Bebo or FB.
    She'll go 'oh so and so have been beasting me on FB' if someone has been commenting on photos or whatever.
    They all know what it means to us but means something totally different to them :eek:

    When I'm checking up on her FB shes like 'stop beasting me'!!! Pardon?!?
