It never occured to me that steamin was a slang term. It's so obvious aswell. It's probably my most used term for describing getting on it!

There's also

On the sauce
Ratarsed
Melted
Miraculous
Wasted
Oot ma box
Away with it
Blotto
Blootered
Mad with it

Mad with it is chavvy and neddy. I never use it. But alot of people here do.

Lots of Romany words have found their way into the English language and used as slang.

Kushti = Good
Chav (chavvi) = Young boy
Pal = Brother
Jougal = Dog
Cosh = Stick
Lollipop
Chiv, or Shiv = Knife

My favourite...Divvy/Div = Crazy/Mad

One for you too Aurora...radge.

It is.
Sorry, I should have explained better.
All those Romany words were absorbed into the English language, initially as slang.
e.g. The Romany word for young boy is Chavvi.
The abbreviation of the word borrowed as English slang is, Chav.
Same for the others I listed.

Hope that's clearer?
