Over a third of young people claim to be confused by the word wally.
Getting sozzled and going for a boogie would mean nothing to today's young people, according to a new survey.
They are among the words that could die out in the next ten years.
The study of 18 to 30 year olds found that 40% don't know what sozzled, a euphemism for being drunk, means.
While 37 percent claim to be confused by the word wally.
