Anybody who watches Love Island will know all about the official villa dictionary. Whether it's 'putting all your eggs in one basket' or 'it is what it is'; the contestants manage to develop their very own vocabulary during their time on the show.

But would someone who has never seen the ITV2 programme be able to guess what the phrases actually mean, without watching Wes Nelson bang on about The Do Bits Society, or Tommy Fury act like a melt over Molly-Mae Hague?

Cosmopolitan asked Caroline Flack to help us find out, by quizzing two grandmas on their knowledge of Love Island lingo, to discover whether they knew their 'pied' from their 'peng'.

"I'm going to give you some phrases from Love Island," Caroline explains. "These are quite modern phrases, and I want you to tell me what you think these phrases mean. So if someone called you a 'melt', what do you think it would mean?"

"Wet?" one Cosmopolitan grandma asks, before another adds, "To be a bit tasty?"

"It's not that, but I do quite like that - 'being a bit tasty'," Caroline continues. "In Love Island, it means to be a bit soft over someone." The presenter goes on to ask the grandmas what it means to be 'a sort'; 'a peng sort'; 'The DBS'; 'putting all your eggs in one basket'; 'grafting'; 'melt'; and 'pied'. And yeah, it's safe to say it's pretty hilarious.
