While bouldering at a secret location in Liverpool, inside a hanger, I witnessed some yoofs using expletive language such as 'send it', 'beta' and 'nail it'. This was all rounded off with fist bumps.

Please remember where you are which is the UK, not down in the Hood.

Rant over.

Than you for reading.

i put it to you, sir, that the secret location of which you speak is most definitely part of the 'hood; being as it is within postal district L20.

Oh no, young people using different language to you. Im sure your parents thought the same thing about how you spoke and their parents about how they spoke.

Nail it? Are you sure? 'Nails' maybe. I don't think nailing it is term used much in the 'hood, unless we've stopped talking about climbing and moved on to other... um... leisure pursuits.

There are more people in L20 that sustain bilateral calcaneal fractures, than anywhere else in the UK.

Blimey. That's sounds nasty. Is it a particular hazard of fist-bumping?

No. Heel bumping by jumping from heights)

Much more hygienic than a handshake. Not quite as good as an elbow bump though.

On climbing Nanda Devi Tillman remarked "I believe we so far forgot ourselves as to fist bump on it"

I've learnt something new, scousers are lovers and not thieving scroats.

Is Mr Num aware of this fact?

Are they still on fist bumping? Up here we gave up on that a couple of years ago, now we've gone full circle back to early 90s Will Smith-Jazzie Jeff style street handshakes.
