work on the Eastenders spin-off E20, and are deliberately scripting overuse of teenspeak in the character Fatboy.The actor himself, Ricky Norwood, does a kind of last-stage filter on the words on the basis of whether Fatboy would or would not say he "tumped" him or "bonged" him. Arinze plugs in to his home background of Hackney but had the horrific experience recently, when talking to some young people a blink or two younger than him, to discover that he was already out of date. Emer's trick is spying on buses. While the kids are pumping out the chat, Emer's taking notes on her phone.
