peer agreement (net): +3council estate Explanation: Tess is a term coming from the French slang called "verlan". It consists on pronouncing words backwards. In this particular case Tess is the contraction of "Téci", which is the "verlan" for "Cité". "Cité" being the common name for council estate. I suggest you to maybe find a slang word for council estate. |
