Brit Kid Slang

You could also consider "barmy".

Adj. 1. barmy - marked by spirited enjoyment
yeasty, zestful, zesty
spirited - displaying animation, vigor, or liveliness
2. barmy - informal or slang terms for mentally irregular; "it used to drive my husband balmy"
around the bend, balmy, bats, batty, bonkers, buggy, crackers, daft, dotty, haywire, kookie, kooky, loco, loony, loopy, nuts, round the bend, wacky, whacky, nutty, fruity, cracked
insane - afflicted with or characteristic of mental derangement; "was declared insane"; "insane laughter"

I used to say 'barmy' but I haven't heard any kids say it in the last 10 years. Think it's another generational thing.

So I'm only a decade behind the times. Good to know.

That's fitting though - I haven't been to England for 10 years. And I guess we only about 10 years behind on Coronation Street.

"Mental". Hasn't gone out of style for twenty years or so. Potty, crackers and barmy are very dated.

I gotta say, mental sounds great.

And yes, much better than my "barmy".


Sounds like your book is a lot of fun to work on.
