I assume this is short for 'humanities,' but this email about someone who will be coming to visit Cardiff Uni made me giggle.
Hmm, I wonder what message middle-of-the-night writing-in-her-notes-app Chindi left for us last night? ...O..K..? 😁
OK, 'chinned Alani' might be my new favourite incorrect version of my name

Having now uploaded my book collection to Hardcover I am struck by how many of the books I want to read are books that live in my house with me. The thought crossed my mind that perhaps I shouldn't allow myself to acquire any more books for a while but don't worry, I squashed that thought quickly.

Can someone who knows some Youths please give me an example of a sentence young people might conceivably say that an ancient decrepit elder millennial such as myself might not understand? I'm looking for an example to use in a podcast episode about generational language.
