Slang Question

[Balthazar]

hey, 2 words i was just thinknig about, can you jsut tell me were you from and what you think the word means.

To every one, do you know what "Skop" means?
To no UK, do you know what "Snog" means?

i know this kinda sounds silly but i just was wondering about it.

To every one, do you know what "Skop" means?

According to Virtual Eclipse it's an acronym for Star Kingdom of Pegasus, but while that's an amusing coincidence, I think the South African Slang page is probably more accurate. "Skop" means "kick". Although not having any context to put it in, I don't know if that's the right answer, either.

To no UK, do you know what "Snog" means?

It means to kiss.

yea i know what they both mean, skop is slang to throw hard in the north of england, i asked a few people from th south and non of them knew what it ment so wanted to know if its just us northeners who use it, and snog, i wasent shure if americans new what it ment cause i saw on graham norton show he was asking americans if they knew what it ment and no on knew.

[ShadowMaat]

In that case, I had to google the first one, but I knew about snog 'cause I read too many British authors and hang out with too many English-type folk online.

And I'm American.

Really? I live in the north west and i've never heard the word before. Bah you silly north-easterners! Bah!

I'm German and I knew both of them...but then I'm a) a linguist and b) have lived in Britain (though not in the North...)

[GateGipsy]

I've never heard of Skop, but then I am a soft southerner

[Anubis]

I agree. I live about 30 miles away from London and I've never heard of skop. I've heard of most things like batty, pleb and all sorts of others. I won't go into detail

I'm from the North of England and I've never heard of 'skop'.

[Ap-uat]

I´m from Estonia, i do know what snog means, but have never heard of skop....till now

[iluuuuuvjack]

I used to live in the north and now i live in the south ( ) but i've never heard of "skop" or any of my friends (who live in York) say skop.
i know what snog means tho... i mean, who doesnt?

[AbydosTraveller]

I'm from the US... I've never heard of a "skop" and, before the GW Forum, had never heard of "snogging", either.

The first time I heard "snog" I thought it was really dirty, until I asked... taking it in context, it worked.
