No such word as skint, either. At least according to the dictionary.

So being that it's total slang I would think the door's pretty much wide open to using it any way anyone wishes, no?

That chick is "skintalicious" (hot, but broke) ha

i suspect that 'sucking on a fag' may have a different meaning in the usa.

Did you find that out after your advert on Usenet seeking men to let you fuck them up the arse didn't get the response you wanted?

Bumder.

Not in the official sense, no. I think that's why the term "slang" was invented. For all the non-words flying about out there.

"Whatchamacallit" isn't a word either, but a shit-ton of people have said it over the centuries.

Get on board the slang train.

I was watching the movie "The Constant Gardener" last night, good movie by the way, and in the first 5 minutes or so I heard Ralph Fiennes say Ah Sandy, you've caught me skiving

and I actually knew what he meant thanks to this thread.

Christ on the bloody cross, now she's gone and thrown another term at me.... clonking.

So had another X-ray for the knee i fell on and just badly bruised and the clonking is the fluid swelling

you had me confused there for a bit, you chose a bad example. Clonking is a banging sound - e.g. my exhaust pipe is clonking.
But dont worry, your example wasnt too Pete Tong! :D
