What it means
A cheeky bit of British lad chat for attractive people in the room. You’ll hear it on a night out in stuff like any talent in here? meaning anyone good-looking about? It’s usually said with mates and a wink, but if you lay it on thick it can sound proper sleazy or like you’re rating people like stock.
Usage examples
"Any talent in this pub or is it just us and the fruit machine? Behave, mate, we’ve only just got our pints."
"Mate, the wedding reception is going to be packed with talent, half of the cousins on the bride’s side are models from London, even the photographer is hot."
"Pub was dead on Tuesday, no talent, no music, no chips left in the kitchen. We sank two pints and went home before the karaoke even kicked off."
"We walked into the bar, Dave had a look round and went, bit of talent in here tonight, fair play."
"He keeps calling every girl in the club talent and wondering why nobody rates his chat."
