This week’s
challenge was to provide slang that means “to fight”. There are tons of acceptable answers. Let me provide a few from my source:
- Square up to (from 1827)
- Scrap (from 1874)
- Rough house (from 1900)
- Tangle (from 1928)
- Rumble (from 1954)
The question (&
answer) were taken from p. 259 of the Oxford Dictionary of Slang by John Ayto. The book was published by
Oxford University Press in 1998 (which explains my non-inclusion of any really
current slang).
