(slang) A white resident or native of the Bahamas.
British slang for a conscientious objector — someone who refuses military service on moral, ethical, or religious grounds. The shortened form 'conchy' was widely used during both World Wars, sometimes affectionately among those who shared the objector's views, and sometimes as a term of contempt from those who considered refusal cowardly or unpatriotic. Today it carries more historical than active usage, surfacing most often in discussions of wartime history, pacifism, and civil liberties.
(slang) A conscientious objector.
(slang, derogatory, offensive, ethnic slur) A black person.

(slang) A denizen of the Florida Keys.
Conch means: A denizen of the Florida Keys.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.
Conch means: A denizen of the Florida Keys.. Register: very informal, slang. Suitable only for casual conversation, chat and social media. Do not use in business, academic or news writing. A common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; native speakers immediately notice when slang appears in formal contexts, so always check the surrounding register before producing it yourself.
