"Clapped, it's a synonym for chopped, basically something or someone ugly, bad, or whatever. Basically unattractive. An example would be, oof, you're gonna wear that? That fit is clapped."
Boke
"That kebab from last night has me ready to boke, I knew it was dodgy when the lettuce was warm but I ate it anyway like an eejit."
Clapped
"You seen Kyle’s new motor? Paid a grand and it’s already clapped, wing mirror taped on and the exhaust sounding like a Tesco trolley on cobbles"
Bottle job
"Talks big all week, steps up for the last-minute pen, absolutely skies it into Row Z. Whole end groans. Total bottle job."

Wicked
"You coming Friday? The new place in Soho is wicked, decent tunes, cheap-ish pints, and the bouncer actually let us in for once."
