A teenage relative of mine has informed me that the word mimser is well out-of-date. He tells me that all the young cool dudes now refer to slinkers and slinking.

This thread is heading down hill and a lot of posts got removed along with the ones that needed removing. Sorry for that. But removing only those that needed to be would be too time consuming and difficult.
So start again and please no insulting or derogatory posts.

Never mind about a dictionary definition of slink. I'm talking about the meaning it's used to convey in modern slang or street language by the young cool dudes out there. I intend to keep up with the times and refer to slinkers. All you behind-the-times fuddy duddies can continue to refer to mimsers if you want.

I think you are already out of date. I consulted my two daughters (13 and 16) and they say slinkers went out about 100 years ago. The current word is they say too rude for my sensitive ears, and certainly for a family motoring forum.

.......... daughters (13 and 16) ........... say slinkers went out about 100 years ago.
Where did they learn that? History lesson or from a great-grandparent?
:-D
