So I was talking to a good friend of mine the other day and he quoted the amazing film "Hot Fuzz" by saying "Yarp" in the middle of our conversation. At the time, I did not realise that it was a direct quote from the film.– despite having watched it multiple times (shows how observant I am) – I think "yarp" is an amazing word. It just sounds, wholesome?
Whilst writing this, I notice that the word "yarp" is not in fact in the oxford dictionary. This is a travesty. The word should be recognised, it is recognised in the urban dictionary, and, like most of the words on that website that are currently overused by teenagers that are VERY un-like myself, should be introduced into the adult society. 'Chavs' have changed our language forever. Words like "athletic" quite obviously have brand new meanings because they are printed on size 20 bright pink track suits, these meanings should be recognised. They have also invented an entire new language. Words like 'blumpkin' (urban dictionary it) exist in their language, when they do not in the 'normal world' the word blumpkin may not be necessary, but it exists. Much like French, they have words for things that we (I prefer to associate myself with the 'adult society' rather than the lesser minded chavs that walk this planet) have no words for.
Yarp is an amazing word. Hot Fuzz made it famous and accessible to people who aren't farmers (sorry to be stereotypical), and it brought the word narp along with it. Both should be recognised. They can be used as a simple response in most situations, and along with words such as: supercalifragilisticexpialidocious make you feel good. Yarp has improved my life... (Well?) Yarp is awesome.
