I was at work yesterday & a friend of mine was reading an article about the fact that those under 16 represent a 1/3 of victims of crime, although they're not counted in the actual statistics. Anyway, they started to discuss a program on BBC on Sunday of a documentary on a Juvenile Institute in London.
They were discussing the slang terms used, and stated that some of them were used way too often, and its possible that those watching the program would not understand it. I'm not much of a slang user.. only when it comes to Craig Davids, but I thought I'd give out a list of some that I know and others that I learned.

Buff- i thought meant strong, muscular, ribbed, cut all the good stuff.
Safe- in GH it presently means bye and the guys AND girls say it, i guess it is derived from stay safe ... so safe y'all
Yep, the meaning of both the words you mentioned varies.
Buff - the muscular, ribbed kind, is epitome of a good looking man in society, hence attractive.
Safe is sometimes used as a goodbye gesture I suppose, but not that often in London..
In Manchester Safe means someone is ok to know, they're sound (cool) we dont really use safe to say goodbye, we normally say 'one' for goodbye, or jus byeeeeeeeeeeee! LOL
but in manchester, loadsa things means lodsa different things [mua ha.. ha.]
