       @FeartnTired I'm not entirely sure, but I don't think it's a compliment.

       @FeartnTired I thought it might have been a diminutive of unique, but all I could find was some rude slang

       @FeartnTired No joy, I’m afraid, so it’s not reached the twenty-somethings or the teens around here. She guesses that the “unique” theory is most likely from context.

       @FeartnTired Neek“Neek” is a derogatory term used to describe someone who is seen as a “nerd” or “geek,” and is often used to insult someone for being uncool or unathletic.https://uniacco.com/blog/roadman-slang#:~:text=Neek%20means%20a%20nerd%20or%20a%20geek.

       @You_cat_to_be_kitten_me @FeartnTired I have a teenager, so am semi-fluent in roadman! I hear neek quite a lot. Geek and nerd have been kind of reclaimed, but neek is def an insult.

       @FeartnTired @You_cat_to_be_kitten_me She doesn't speak yoof, or at least has never seen it written down?Maybe she wrongly assumed it to be a contraction of unique, rather than a portmanteau of nerd and geek.

       @FeartnTired @You_cat_to_be_kitten_me I use my kids as an amateur case study in linguistics! They can use as much slang as they like with me, but I will ask them to explain any words I don't know. I'm not keen on being called bruv though!
