The term "destroy" is used quite a lot round these parts, back home, too (Kent and Essex). Dunno where you're from. Might be a regional thing.

Last time in Orlando, the TSA questioned us about whether we had ever lived in France... we hadn't. Just an odd question. What difference would it have made if we did? A TSA agent in New York called me a "pretty boy", which offended me somewhat. Also, first time going into Orlando, the TSA whisked my nan off and questioned her because her fingerprints didn't match up with previous records.

Going back in a few months, though, so I won't say anything negative. >_>


I'm from the North West then lived in Wales for a while so that might explain it. But as in you use it as in to go out and destroy a place? Not like wrecked? So you wouldn't say I'm going to get destroyed, you would say I'm going to destroy?

Haha yea TSA are just crazy about some things. My friend is British but his parents are Indian. Every single time he has been to America he gets 'randomly' screened.

Little saying like that crop up in tiny groups all over Britain, and some make it to larger groups. I can't say I've ever heard anyone say "gonna detroy X" before myself, but it's not a far cry from "gonna rip up X-street/town".

Even if you haven't heard it before I would hope most people could figure out it was just a saying from the context, I mean what if he'd said "gonna paint New York red"? would he have been arrested for planning to vandalise New York?


New York is reem.

Huh?

Not heard that word before... I would guess you are trying to say NY is good or bad, but without voice I can't tell which.

A slang term from Essex which got pretty big after characters on "The Only Way Is Essex" used it. It's pretty much hated across the board, though.

"Reem" is synonymous with "fly", or "fine", as in "looking pretty fly", or "damn, she' fine!"
