Your own slang?

[Late-Night-Conversation]

Does anyone have any slang that they reckon is particular to their school, area, city or group of friends? What is it, and what does it mean?

At my school, for a while, we had 'Go back to Townsville.' Meant 'bugger off'.

There's also 'chat' for 'disgusting', though that's more a Sydney thing, I think. Or is it more widespread than I know?

 

[Fire Daemon]

Another Aussie. Excelent, our numbers are growing...

I don't think I talk in slang that much so no, I don't have any slang particular to a certain group.

Unless you include nicknames.

whenever I hear two aussies talk I alway think it's slang...although the only aussies in america act like their stereotype, I don't know why but I wish they would stop.

but back on track I only would say I talk in slang if nicknames were included

 

[OneHP]

'West' meaning weird. e.g. 'That's so west' or 'He had a few too many drinks and just went west'.

 

[Limasol]

i say scoop instead of wow, that's just me though i think

That's because the dumber Australians speak like that, and they're the only ones dumb enough to leave.

"awesome with sauce" - if something is really good
"crazy" - can mean good, bad, wow, and what!?
"tasty" - again something really good

dunno but i seem to be the only one who uses these this way... there are more... maybe i'm a bit mad

"sketch" - short for sketchy, meaning creepy or dangerous.
"That place we went last night was pretty sketch."

"mess" - a slightly derogatory term for describing any noun, event, or situation that you don't understand or want to recognize.
"What was with that mess going on last night?" (referring to the half-naked, drunk people walking around my apartment complex)

"Just north/south of" - slightly better/worse than
"Your meatloaf tastes just north of roadkill."

"grief" - hostility or undue antagonism
"He gave me a lot grief over my new hat."

Outside of that, I'm from the southern part of the States. We have a good deal of slang, but it's far too ingrained for me to recognize it as a peculiar idiom.

 

[OverlordSteve]

I don't know if this is really slang, because it's barely recognizable. I say "ayup" instead of "yep."

In Linlithgow, Scotland there is a slang word: Supo.

Supo is said to someone if they do something stupid or if something embarrassing happens to them.

 

[TheBadass]

Everyone said "blazin'" for a while, because it made us sound like dangerous gangstas. Or something.

Still, fun word, I enjoyed it.

 

[Isaac Dodgson]

In New England we have the usual dialogue, like "Wicked" and adding piss to other expletives for one reason or another. Ain't that a wicked pissa and what not... My accent only comes out when i'm hammered or just pissed off

My dad has his own slang. For instance, when he's indicating something he can't remember the name of (This happens often), he calls it "ercum". "Pass me that ercum" he says. I don't know what ercum he's on about. It could be any one of the ercums on top of the ercum in the ercum of the ercum, after all.

Also, when someone pisses him off while he's driving, he has a habit of calling them a "numpty-back fuck-pig." Truly, his mastery of the English language is dizzying.

 

[Hiddlebits]

My favourate slang word is numpty, meaning silly person. The word just seems to fit the meaning so well.

 

[Crowghast]

I say "yea" as an answer to pretty much anything. Not just as a "yes" but also as a "no" and a "maybe". It takes a while for people to get which is which and what i'm trying to say, but they eventually figure out the tones.

"Stock". I'm not sure what the Hell it's supposed to mean, but I use it as an add-on to standard insults and sometimes in a whole sentence, things like: "Shitstock", "Fuckstock", "Dipstock", "Stock of retards" and "I'm out of stockings". The last I got at an old job when the "stock" ran out, some one asked. "Hey? Where'd our stockin's go?". Obviously said wrong... now I use it to indicate: "Well... I got nothin'.

Besides that, "shit" replaces any adjective, verb or adverb.
"Fuck" replaces any noun.
And "Last Thursday" replaces any point in time.
Conversing with me is very colourful.

i say scoop instead of wow, that's just me though i think

And now me!

If someone does something immeasurably stupid, self-centered, or mean, we (me and my friends) say that they 'pulled a Johnny'.
