Gutted (adj.) — To be emotionally devastated; in Love Island parlance, those who are gutted traditionally add the adverb “absolutely” to accentuate the extent to which they have been gutted. Okay, okay, so this might not be a typical, everyday quote we hear on Love Island, but the moment was so iconic that we just couldn't not include it! This one is pretty self-explanatory—often used as a way to be cautious, the Islanders will mention that it's still 'early days' if they are still in the very early stages of a relationship, or of 'getting to know' someone in the villa. For example, if a partner does something the other doesn't like, the Islander might say that it's still 'early days' meaning they have time to make their mind up about them. This popular internet term (especially amongst Gen-Z) became Whitney from Love Island 2023's catchphrase, as she would often describe situations or people as "giving."

Used in a sentence: "I just feel like everyone's pranging out. I'll make some nettle tea." On paper

Prang (adj.) — Anxious or irritable; this term is most prominently used by Niall at the onset of Season 4. Another saying that's borrowed from pop culture, “sauce” is a sense of confidence and charisma that you give off that is unique to you. It’s like an extra va-va-voom or, as the French would say, "je ne sais quoi". It simply can't be bought. 19. Melt

Cringe (adj.) — Used to describe the peak awkwardness of a person or situation—or, in much rosier circumstances, the unbearably adorable romance of a situation or person’s actions. As per (phrase) — A shortened version of “as per usual,” often used with a hint of sarcasm to signify the predictability of someone’s actions. Definition: Taking the piss out of people. But calling it banter/bantz. Especially popular when trying to graft on with someone.To say something is "giving" means that it's positive, cool and pleasing, etc. For instance, you could say, "her makeup is giving," or, "their chat is giving,"—it's complimentary and is just a way to say something is good. This often happens when a bombshell enters the villa, or when the Islanders go off to Casa Amor and mingle with a new set of potential love interests. As we've seen in the past, this is the peak time for heads turning and has made for some of the most memorable Love Island moments in the show's history. 10. My type on paper

We have Shakespeare, John Milton and Chaucer to thank for conjuring up hundreds of new ways of expressing ourselves by messing about with prefixes, suffixes, verbs and nouns. While mobile phones, iPads and social media mean that, today, we increasingly use abbreviations - FOMO, LOL and OMG. Some of us have even started describing how we feel via emoji, rather than actual words. Equally, it's often used as a way to swerve out of a coupling in the villa if another boy or girl comes in that someone likes more: "I'm going to get to know X, because it's still early days with Y". 29. Snakey This phrase is, essentially, used to describe someone you're attracted to. If someone is 'a bit of me', you're saying that there's something about them that you like. The cast of Love Island will often use this phrase to describe a new bombshell; as the group tries to work out who likes who. 27. A right sort This phrase also makes a literal appearance in the infamous Love Island challenge "snog, marry, pie"—where the Islanders have to decide who they want to snog (kiss), marry (give a pretend ring to), and pie (face-plant with a cream pie). Understandably pie-ing someone, even in a challenge, is a controversial move! 6. Grafting Bellend (n.) — The, uh, tip of a penis; a derogatory word most famously used by a salty-ass Jonny on Season 3 of Love Island: Screenshots via ITVThis one is pretty self-explanatory, but is so widely used on the show—to deflect from feelings of embarrassment, shame, disappointment and frustration—that it's almost philosophical. The term was most significantly used by ex-islander Sherif Lanre, as a response to no one stepping forward to choose him on the first day in the villa. Awkwarrrrrrd. 13. I’ve got a text!
