Skibidi and tradwife added amongst others. So the amalgamation of two words adds another to the dictionary. 🤔

I have never ever heard these words before and quite frankly they are Rammel.

In the Oxford English Dictionary (OED), "rammel" (also spelled "rammle" in some dialects) has multiple meanings, primarily related to discarded or waste matter, often in a dialectal context. It can refer to:

  • Waste or discarded matter, especially in Northern England dialect .

  • Broken bricks, rubble, or stones .

  • Underbrush, or trash in some dialects, particularly in England.

  • A collection of items saved for potential future use (rammle, in Midlands dialect) .

  • In Scottish English, it can refer to a noisy disturbance or free-for-all .
The word also appears in other contexts like mining and forestry, but its most common usage is as a term for waste or rubbish.
 
My teeth used to hurt when I heard young Scots say the word yous,
'Are yous ready to order yet in a cafe' is a good example.
I pulled my grandson up on it the other day and he offered a good defense by asking me to say the plural of you. :love:
 
I genuinely struggled to understand my own kids sometimes. I’m not posh but I’ve always tried to teach them correct English. But I’ve heard them use Skibidi, Bussin, Sigma and many other new words that I don’t have a clue what they mean !!

It’s modern generation we have to get with their world 😂

Also what’s Rammel!! What kind of English word is that 😂

Glad you cleared it up that’s a terrible word

Rather depends upon where in the Midlands.

Certainly not a word commonly used by West Midlanders.
