s Islanders developed a rather torturous set of phrases to describe various levels of sexual progress, from NVQs to graduation day. You might also catch the islanders saying 'early doors', which is just another way of saying 'early days.' We know, it's confusing. But now a new group of perma-tanned sun-worshipers are changing the face of linguistics again. Since arriving in their Spanish villa, the contestants on reality show Love Island have been using a bewildering array of slang that's had us scratching our heads. To say something is "giving" means that it's positive, cool and pleasing, etc. For instance, you could say, "her makeup is giving," or, "their chat is giving,"—it's complimentary and is just a way to say something is good. This often happens when a bombshell enters the villa, or when the Islanders go off to Casa Amor and mingle with a new set of potential love interests. As we've seen in the past, this is the peak time for heads turning and has made for some of the most memorable Love Island moments in the show's history. 10. My type on paper
Definition: The act of having a dig at someone. Or, if you're reading what 'digging out' means on Urban Dictionary it is MUCH ruder... This is a sentence we hear a lot on the show in many different scenarios. When the Islanders have a grievance they want to air, or simply want to try and "graft" someone, they go for the classic "can I pull you for a chat?"—which is usually followed by them making a beeline for the bean bags or the fire pit, where all the deep conversations, arguments, or flirty banter tend to take place. 17. LoyalPie off (v.) — In the simplest terms, “to dump.” On the scale of actions one can take on Love Island, the consequences of pie-ing off are more long-lasting than mugging off. The aforementioned "pied" is very similar to being mugged off. Getting pied can mean being rejected, but also disrespected. It's often used in the villa to describe the act of being dumped for someone else.
Prang (adj.) — Anxious or irritable; this term is most prominently used by Niall at the onset of Season 4. This is a popular UK saying that has made its way onto Love Island; the idea of having 'bants' or 'banter' simply means the act of having a laugh, or joking about something. The guys and gals often use it in the villa to describe a potential love interest as 'having good banter', meaning they've got a good personality and know how to joke around/don't take themselves too seriously. Bellend (n.) — The, uh, tip of a penis; a derogatory word most famously used by a salty-ass Jonny on Season 3 of Love Island: Screenshots via ITV As per (phrase) — A shortened version of “as per usual,” often used with a hint of sarcasm to signify the predictability of someone’s actions.Fairly self-explanatory, but if your head is "gone" in Love Island, you're feeling confused by the current situation—whether a former love interest is showing renewed attention, a new "bombshell" has come in, or you're not sure about your current couple situation. Essentially, if your head is gone, you don't know what's going on. 23. 'Get to know you' Cringe (adj.) — Used to describe the peak awkwardness of a person or situation—or, in much rosier circumstances, the unbearably adorable romance of a situation or person’s actions. Then in 2022, the girls used beauty salon euphemisms—like, getting a manicure—instead. 9. Head's been turned Another saying that's borrowed from pop culture, “sauce” is a sense of confidence and charisma that you give off that is unique to you. It’s like an extra va-va-voom or, as the French would say, "je ne sais quoi". It simply can't be bought. 19. Melt Can’t be arsed (phrase) — A state of uncaring (the American analog here is “couldn’t care less;” though it should be noted that when Islanders say they “can’t be arsed,” the truth is that, in fact, they could very much be arsed).
