Stop trying to make fetch happen.
that's so moosh of you
Nah, safe.
I was visiting Birmingham when "safe" was taking off in England (2006?) but hadn't reached Scotland yet. Was talking to a random guy in a bar, and I couldn't understand why he was so insistent that Birmingham was "safe"
Safe predates 2006 in the UK by a long distance. “Laters” was a fun one. A shibboleth to pretend you are from London if you live just outside.
Maybe among younger people in the South East of England, but it certainly hadn't spread all the way north at that point
Someone here's going to need to explain "safe" and "laters" to this Yank
