Thanks Paul, as I thought, but better to check. I much prefer the ODE definition of “street” in that sense than those in Chambers or Collins

Jon - since I don’t possess any paper copies of dictionaries, I am curious what the OED def is? ( Can’t find it online…)

Paul, it’s the ODE rather than OED, but I thought it was rather more positive than the Chambers entry …

ODE
“Relating to the outlook, values, or lifestyle of those young people who are perceived as composing a fashionable urban subculture”

Chambers
“Characteristic of the streets or of the people who frequent them, esp the poor, the homeless, prostitutes, and petty criminals”

Jon; On that basis o would agree! But forgive my ignorance, what is the ODE?

The Oxford Dictionary of English (not to be confused with the Oxford English Dictionary!). The ODE is more inclined to towards modern usage and newer words, whereas the OED is better for origins of words and archaic meanings, in my experience.

Jono please disregard 9
