Not exclusive to series 4, the term вЂgraftingвЂ™ has been a вЂLove IslandвЂ™ staple for the past few years and is used to refer to someone who is trying hard to impress the person theyвЂ™re interested in. If someone is going вЂfull on factor 50вЂ™ it doesnвЂ™t mean theyвЂ™re being careful in the sun, but in fact coming on a bit too strong to the person they like.ДЇactor 50 was jokingly used in season four of the show to highlight that certain contestants should probably play things a little cooler.

This year contestant Joanna called Michael a snake when he didnвЂ™t leave the villa with her. In the villa, someone is a вЂsnakeвЂ™ if they try and crack on (explanation to come) with a coupled up Islander.

Yep the lexicon of вЂLove IslandвЂ™ is quite the thing, but for many of us mere mortals itвЂ™s not always that easy to decipher. While we can now all go back to living our own lives, rather than living vicariously through the Islanders, thereвЂ™s one bit of the show thatвЂ™s set to stick around for a little longer than AntonвЂ™s bum hair.
