Slang

[soothsayer]

I've gotten messages lately from younger people (teenagers mostly) and they're telling me how my music is "dope". This is obviously the new word for cool. Funny how slang evolves with each generation.

So I wanted to find out how many slang words are there that substitute the meaning of good (or bad) or what have you.

Anyone remember when awesome was the new cool? :whistling

[torn asunder]

i've been hearing "dope" for a while - an old one i can remember was something that was cool, being "tits". (or, "titties & beer", as one highschool bud put it!) also, gnarly, tubular, wicked, bitchin', radical, sweet, kick-ass... ummm, drawing a blank now, will come back if i remember any more...

[CandyQuackenbush]

Word G. Word...

[JaneDead]

yeah "dope" is not so new at all.

i have always stuck with "cool"

cool is my new and old way of saying something is cool.

[Slept with ghost]

i always found slang terms sort of funny

one time i was in a chat room (god i hate my life) and i was listening to the cure i mentioned so in said chat

some kid said the cure owns

and i sat there wondering if robert smith ever wrote any songs with hopes that one day some kid in a chat room would say that his band owns

[JaneDead]

i have never been able to catch on to slang sort of like all my friends say "right on" and i just can't bring myself to ever say that. ever.

but i have always been fond of jive turkey and daddy-o.

[soothsayer]

cool is my new and old way of saying something is cool.

That's funny. :laughing

That's like saying black is the new black - anyway. :grin

I've taken to saying "fucking right on" over the last few months, dunno why but it just sounds good. I had a friend that use to say "rot!" - everything was rot, he was an odd fellow.

How about rightous? I know it isn't new but it doesn't get used much anymore.

i used to do that with "like" but then again i was a teenage girl back then. i think a lot of us did.

[soothsayer]

I've heard queen's knees but never bee's knees.

[JaneDead]

bee's knees is old. like the cat's pajamas.

i've never heard queen's knees.

[soothsayer]

I read queen's knees in some Iron Maiden biography long ago so it must old British slang. We should ask HW.

I taught myself Cockney once and weave in and out of proficiency. It's really fun to mix it in to the convo. I was chatting with some Brits once and this bloody wanker cut us off while driving so I hurled this huge tirade in Cockney. The Brits looked at me and said, "Fucking 'L. You're more British than we are." Heh heh ...

On one of Eddie Izzard's DVDs ("Circle" maybe?) he goes over the phrase, "dog's bollocks".

[soothsayer]

Cockney slang is too cool. I use to use it from time to time when I went through my "I'd rather defect to the U.K." phase. :grin

Yea - I listened to a lot of British bands during that time.

[Crazed Vampyress]

I remember Will Smith using "dope" back on "Fresh Prince of Bel Air"!

general agreeance - werd (word)

all is well - s'all gravy, baby

youre being dumb - you joo! (jew!)

goodbye - wun (won, one)

youve been away a long time - you've been gone a minute!

really? -OR- you dont say? - oh snap!?

I used to use righteous all the time when I was in high school...now I use "ccol" or "fucking bad-ass" or "fucking bad as hell."
