What does "peng" mean in British slang?
The structure is a simple adjective of uncertain origin, possibly from the smell of pungent (strong) marijuana or from Jamaican patois. It is used in British Multicultural London English (MLE) and UK slang to mean attractive, good looking, or physically appealing, often describing a person. People typically say "She's peng" or "He's a peng guy." The term originated in early 2000s London street and grime music culture, later spreading across the UK and into internet slang, and remains common among younger speakers.
Examples
