To 'graft' effectively means to flirt and woo. You'll no doubt have heard the islanders saying things like, "I need to put my grafting boots on," or "You need to graft me."
Used in a sentence: "I'm not gonna lie to you, she's come into the villa, and my head's been turned." Putting all your/my eggs in one basket Oh my days (phrase) — In a moment of exasperation, a much more fun, much more charming way to basically say “Oh my god.” Used in a sentence: "I definitely think we've got a connection. So... naked hot tub sesh?" The Do Bits Society/DBS 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. 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."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 But because I’ve completed many viewings of Love Island, I now feel confident I can explain the Islanders’ language. It’s important to note that while watching the U.S. version of Love Island, you’ll likely not hear most, if any, of these terms—surely, the American Islanders will construct their own lexicon—but the following dictionary will still be helpful as a guide to the show, and how it works. And at the very least, after reading it you’ll be able to yell “muggy!” at the TV, which is really the whole point. 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 ITV
Why tuna? Such profound questions have no answer, though it is worth noting that “ham and cheese melt” has been deployed as an insult on Love Island too, primarily by Season 3’s Kem:Tuna melt (n.) — The most heightened version of a melt (see above), designated for only the softest of the soft. 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' Definition: Taking the piss out of people. But calling it banter/bantz. Especially popular when trying to graft on with someone. 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 Mug off (v.) — Adapting “muggy” into an active verb, to mug someone off is to treat them with disrespect; in the context of Love Island, one almost always does this by choosing a new mate with little regard for their former one. As an act, it is deeply frowned upon.
