I still use "fuckbeans" (from Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back) on occasion.

If my life was a movie, someone would be able to make a 10-hour youtube video of me saying "for real" and "for sure".

I say "for real" way too much. I think it's slowly replacing my normal vocabulary. For real.

There are a whole bunch of Scottish ones as Fetcher outlined in the OP. Only a few creep into my regular vocabulary.
'Sound' - cool
'Mad wae it' or 'mwi' - my personal favourite 'drunk' synonym
'Hoaching' - busy, crowded

For real.

"Groovy" is also part of my vocabulary.

whenever someone says something preposterous, my reaction is either "I'm so sure" or "don't even".

I never used to say those things before I came to the west coast.

Sherppin'- Avoiding somone or somethin.

I don't think I've ever heard that term.

what if they say it in the east? it's a totally different world over there, man.

Paul Smeenus 01-09-2014 11:26 PM

I've lived in the Pacific Northwest since Eisenhower was President, me either

they don't say it in the east. unless you mean east Washington state.

Sounds strictly like a Cali word imo.

I meant east WA state. Sorry. I'm a little scatterbrained today. :laughing:

Neapolitan 01-09-2014 11:59 PM

I used to say things like fireplug for fire hydrant and icebox for refrigerator which are more archaisms than slang words. Every so often I say icebox, but it is a slip, not said on purpose. I use idioms sometimes when I write and catchphrase when I talk but only ironically, but that is about it. Catch-22 is a favorite because it was coined in Pennsylvania by Joseph Heller. Catch-22 is like Pennsylvania's own literary slang.

Today I heard some kids describing places as wet. From what I could gather, it means areas that have a lot of drugs. As opposed to dry. I thought it was pretty apt. Also why did this thread die? :(

Rhyme time with WD. I dig it.

I like to record music in a drainage pipe so I was obviously smoking ganja down there one day and these high school kids come along because they wanted to practice their tagging. But I remember them asking me if I was "*****ing" because I get dank stuff and the whole town smells when I light up or even pack a bowl. I thought it was a strange, if a tiny bit racist, way to say getting ****ed up.

Anyway, they threw up a few juvenile signs on the drainage pipe and I played to them doing just that. They must've thought I was one weird ass *****er.

Fix your ******s. I don't get it.

Obligatory music post:


Frownland 01-04-2015 01:22 PM

I didn't realize it was censored. 'Chink'

EDIT: Picked a strange one off of WD today: Bankbankbankabankabankdun-na-na-na.

Pet_Sounds 01-04-2015 06:01 PM

I use the word "fab" regularly.

same.

I also say "lush" and "superfine" too much.

Pet_Sounds 01-04-2015 07:51 PM

I also regularly use doubleungood and other 1984 slang.

Some Canadian slang:
Tim's/Timmy's = Starbuck's
friggin' = freaking
eh = yeah, what, meh, or whatever

Tim Horton's I assume.

DeadChannel 01-04-2015 11:04 PM

Tim Horton's basically the Canadian equivalent of starbucks.

Oh, and Pet_Sounds, I didn't know you were Canadian.
