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. Tuna melt (n.) — The most heightened version of a melt (see above), designated for only the softest of the soft. Mint (adj.) — As in “mint condition,” a term used to describe a person, place, or thing’s superb superficial appearance. A note to viewers of The Bachelor: This phrase is Love Island’s version of “not here to make friends.”)
Get the hump (phrase) — To become annoyed, perhaps unreasonably so, about one’s current state of affairs. Used in a sentence: "I just feel like everyone's pranging out. I'll make some nettle tea." On paper This is a popular UK saying that has made its way onto Love Island; the idea of having 'bants' or 'banter' simply means the act of having a laugh, or joking about something. The guys and gals often use it in the villa to describe a potential love interest as 'having good banter', meaning they've got a good personality and know how to joke around/don't take themselves too seriously. Definition: Taking the piss out of people. But calling it banter/bantz. Especially popular when trying to graft on with someone. Punching (v.) — A shortened version of “punching up,” it is the act of dating out of one’s league. Chris of Season 3 frequently proclaimed to be “punching” in his relationship with Olivia—but Chris is now dating a member of Little Mix, so who was really the one punching?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. Fairly self-explanatory, but if your head is "gone" in Love Island, you're feeling confused by the current situation—whether a former love interest is showing renewed attention, a new "bombshell" has come in, or you're not sure about your current couple situation. Essentially, if your head is gone, you don't know what's going on. 23. 'Get to know you' 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.
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
Must-haves
Created by season 4 (one of the best Love Island seasons) islander Wes Nelson, the “Do Bits Society” or ”DBS” as it became known later was a secret members’ club for Islanders who had successfully taken part in sexual activities in the villa.
You might also catch the islanders saying 'early doors', which is just another way of saying 'early days.' We know, it's confusing. This 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! Oh my days (phrase) — In a moment of exasperation, a much more fun, much more charming way to basically say “Oh my god.”
More from ITV
Definition: The act of having a dig at someone. Or, if you're reading what 'digging out' means on Urban Dictionary it is MUCH ruder... Then in 2022, the girls used beauty salon euphemisms—like, getting a manicure—instead. 9. Head's been turned Prang (adj.) — Anxious or irritable; this term is most prominently used by Niall at the onset of Season 4.
