Love Island's NVQ levels and football codes translated

In each Love Island series random words are introduced that we have never used before and this year is no different.

There have been plenty of words and terms that we've had to search to find the definition.

One of the islanders' current favourite sayings is 'moving mad' which means someone is doing something unexpected or acting out of character.

But the current discussion point is the girls' use of NVQ levels to describe how far they have gone with a boy romantically.

After hearing the boys' football analogy the girls decided to come up with their own sex code and now refer to it as NVQs also known as National Vocational Qualification levels.

Faye Winter originally suggested these terms.

Here are what the terms mean to the girls in the villa:

  • Entry Level NVQ - Kissing
  • NVQ1 - Sexual act using hands
  • NVQ2 - Oral sex
  • NVQ3 - Full on sex

The boys have chosen to refer to their bedroom antics in football terms.

Here are the boys' football terms:

  • One nill - An act performed on someone
  • Handball - Sexual act using hands
  • Header - Oral sex
  • Streaker on the pitch - Full on nudity

The Mirror reported that in last year's show the islanders opted for a food themed analogy with tomatoes meaning touching breasts, avocado meaning oral sex and toast was full on sex.
