(British, Ireland) A toasted sandwich.
A pain in the arse to clean and makes the annual outing then into the back of cupboard until your remember you’ve got one the following year….personal fave cheese and bean toastie.
Just had a cheese toastie with a small tin of tomato & onion tuna and I swear it's as close as I'll get to an ecstatic vision. Holy shit, Gods-tier food, 1000/10 no notes. Still floating. (Maybe I was just quite hung…
(British, Ireland) A toasted sandwich.

Toastie means: A toasted sandwich.. It is mainly Irish English and may not be understood outside that context. 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.

Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.

toastie means: A toasted sandwich.. Register: informal, Irish English. Often not understood outside its region; gloss the word on first use when writing for an international audience. 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.
