In the UK,

is "guv" or "guv'nor" still part of the lingo amongst, er, people round the ages 15-25? I'm asking because I don't if it would be anachronostic on my part, as a writer, to have a character (living in the present) of mine use this word.

Thanks.

When I worked in London bars, people would ask to speak to the Guv or the Guv'nor if they were looking for the manager/owner.

It's only used by Cockneys and then only really used to refer to landlords, eel-pie salesmen, top gangsters and other Cockney authority figures.

Silly Yank. Is your character going to have teeth so large he can barely speak?
