I have my kids today. So being fatherly and an all round top bloke I asked my eldest daughters boyfriend if he would like something to eat.the reply I received was:

"no taa, I'm packing bear munch"

Does anyone have a translation?

I understand "no taa" as "no thanks" but the rest may as well have been Klingon!

packing = to have or be in possession of

bear/bare = lots of

munch = food

So I am to understand that he had a large packed lunch about his person. Why didn't he just say that rather than the utter gibberish that fell out of his mouth?!

Thanks for the translation though, I'm obviously out of touch with today's youth...

I get, the no thanks, I get the Packing = carrying. I get the Munch = something I've eaten or have to eat.

Context means he is not wishing to eat right now.

Do not understand the Bear

Possibly the 'Bear Munch' is what bears do, trash people's tents and belongings looking for food, diving into dumpsters to eat leftovers?

It's a thought

Just looked up the definition of 'bare' in 5 different dictionaries online and not one mentions 'bare' as meaning very. In fact quite the opposite. Lol.

i'd argue that it's clear that traditional dictionary definitions do not count in this instance

the fact OP had no idea what was being said makes it clear that all of the words (traditional as they might be) were not used in a traditional, standard, or grammatically correct context

Wearing jeans and showing your under crackers is called 'Jailin'...

It was started in jails when inmates would drop their pants a bit to let other inmates know they're game for a bit of bum fun... Bet not many of the youths who wear jeans like this actually know what they're implying.

My mate from Leicester says bear/bare hungry/cold/skint so uses it to mean very. I had to get a Northern translation from him as I'd never heard it before so I think it's possibly more a local thing than a general 'youth' thing

This demonstrates some of what is wrong with our generation, from what I've seen we can learn quite a bit from the next generation. Diction is not necessarily a sign of intellect, tolerance probably is.

Teenagers use words which to them have clearly defined meanings and use these words to effectively communicate to each other.... and this is criticised on a site where people defend the right to stretch and distort the meaning of 'swinger' and 'swinging' to fit their individual circumstances.

How wonderful to read,

Every generation/group/organisation has its own language of acceptance and also exclusion.

Thr slang used by the royal marines baffled me but was intended to exclude " crap hats".

Paris and Toulouse youths have for years had their own bastardised patois to confuse "les Flic" and don't get me started on Glasgow slang or Esparanto.

It would still be nice to get a straight answer to a well formed question

Lol, it's nothing to do with bears the animals! It's 'bare' - street slang. According to the urban dictionary bare = lots of.
