Re: Lexical differences between dialects in your native lang
I've heard of it (and used to use it quite a bit in school), I think it only appeared in the past decade or so, and it was more common with teenagers than anyone else, but I think the word is dying out now.ol bofosh wrote:bogus (slang for unfair) - shan
