Bring us your expression

What they say where you're from and isn't in the Slangtionary yet

You are adding to Peaky. What is already there stays, we only add yours.

Your voice

Say it out loud, 3 to 60 seconds. Reading it is not the same as hearing it.

Explain in a street-style audio what it means and give an example of how it is used. That is all we need.

  • The teacher in the staff room in Birmingham was looking proper peaky by Friday morning, had been running on three hours of sleep all week since the term started, and the head sent her home at lunchtime with strict orders not to check email until the Monday meeting was over.
