The Street is where it's at when it comes to Language. That's where English lives and grows, where new Wordz and turns of phrase are born. Since William the Conq gave Harold one in the eye, new arrivals in Britain and Ireland have played a vital role in driving the language forward.

So do your bit for English right now - send in your favourite street language or slang, and spread the Wordz.
