Expand my knowledge of foreign slang words.

Hmm, Swedish slang...

pitt = dick (making the fact that the Escapist once had both a Pitts and a Butts on staff HILARIOUS to me. Yes, I'm twelve >_>)

guss/guzz - chick, girl (the only "ghetto" slang I know)

knulla - fuck (the verb)

typ - kind of, sort of

asså - like, you know (from the word "alltså" that means "so"/"therefore")

... Yeah, I'm struggling >_< I'm out!

 

[IamQ]

A few Swedish slang words.

Aina - cops
Knulla - fucking
typ - "sort of", "more or less", all those kinds of words. It's hard to explain.
Nasse - Nazi or pig. Incidentally, piglet in whinnie the pooh, is called nasse.
kisse - kitty
vovve - dog
tuben - the subway
polle - horse

Here is how scousers do it!

Spoiler: the list is pretty long and not all of them are used

http://www.peevish.co.uk/slang/s.htm

Things like scran (which means food) is used but "swing the lead" is never used, at least not that I have heard.

EDIT: if you really want to confuse people learn cockney rhyming slang, it really fucks with you! For example "Tom tit" = shit, "boat race" = face, "plates of meat" = feet, "cream crackerd" = knackerd AKA tired.

Minging means ugly? So ive been callin people Ugly-bags for quite some time then... Huh, the more you know. "Mingebag" is probably my most favorite taunt on the net, mostly because it just sounds funny.

Minging is pronounced like Ming the merciless, mingebag is pronounced minge like the start of giraffe.

'Laowai' (pronounced loud but -d and why) is racist Chinese slang for somebody not from China, it is derived from 'waiguoren' which means 'person from somewhere else'.

I got a lot of both of those while living in China.

Somebody in China says 'laowai' to you then flip them off, they aren't being nice.

Depends where you are in China. 'cos they don't say that in Guangdong or Fujian. Don't ask how they say that in Min, since that language is borderline incomprehensible to me, but in GD it's mostly variations of 'gwei-loh' ('bak-gwei'/'hark-gwei'/'chah-gwei' etc. plus a whole load I don't know how to anglicise 'hoh chi goh hutt yi!' or w/e)... joy! And the advantage of speaking non-Mandarin Chinese is that no-one who isn't already (ethnically) Chinese bothers to learn it... *sigh* oh, for that edge in the competition to be racist without repercussion... /the snarky

Let's see here. In Pittsburgh...

Jagger Bush is a thorn bush.
Yinz means pretty much "You" or "You guys".
Dem Stillers is The Steelers.

There's a whole book on Pittsburgh slang you can probably find, so let's move onto...

Fag means cigarette in Europe, around the UK especially.
Then there's "Y'all" (You All) and "All Y'all" (All Of You All).
You have Cougars, meaning very sexually-active adult women.
You have Buck meaning deer and Buck meaning dollars.

Not the same thing, Minge = vagina and is said "minj".

EDIT: Although that said, "mingebag" might be something different still, I'm sure I remember an old kids program from BBC Scotland in the mid 80's called supergran, and the bad guy (Scunner Campbell IIRC) used to refer to the titular character as a mingebag quite a bit so unless the producers really didn't have a clue or the meaning has changed it might mean something different.

Norwegian:
Luremus: A woman who is a tease. It's constructed from two words:
Lure: Duping, conning, scamming.
and Mus: (lit. Mouse) a slang word for vagina.

The other day I discovered the word 'Bakku-Shan' which means 'Hot from behind, ugly from the front'
(or you could just use that phrase from scrubs that I can't remember)

Also Mong/Mongaliod means really ugly person, similar to 'minger'. The people who keep having ago at Ricky Gervais cos they think it means spastic are wrong.

Apparently the Spanish have the word 'Mordo' which means 'She is not that hot but there is something about her that means I would bang her anyway'

Biddy/Bid: A hot girl (See: Username)

Lol, here that would mean your cruising for old people.

As a Bostonian (for those that may not understand, that means I'm from around the area of Boston, Massachusetts) all I can contribute is "wicked".

It means "very".

It's the one facet of Bostonian speech I'm guilty of. I make a point of pronouncing my R's.

Although I guess on a more broad scale, "pissed" in America means "angry". From what I've gathered, it means "drunk" in most other countries. I actually think that use of it is far funnier and makes slightly more sense.

Got this from a website, i did't even think that these were considered slang.

411: April 11th of any year. The day pot smokers celebrate and smoke marijuana

Isn't it 420 not 411? Always thought 411 was for info.

411: April 11th of any year. The day pot smokers celebrate and smoke marijuana

Yep that's 420

Find it odd that US 'pissed' = annoyed, while UK 'pissed' = drunk... ah well...

It can mean drunk here too, it depends on the context.

Other things that mean drunk here
Shit-faced
Blasted
Blitzed
Bombed
Clobbered
Hammered
Ripped
Sauced
Loaded
Smashed
Toasted
Wasted

As someone born in Beverly, and raised in both Salem and Maine, I make a point of this too and my friends have a field day when I slip up

Do you slip up when you're angry too?

That seems to be a thing.

[xXTheParadoxXx]

not sure if this has already been mentioned but in Ireland "shift" means to get off with someone

I wish we would bring "drongo" back, that being used for useless people, after a racehorse that never won anything.

Ahh, love me some drongos.
