Do You Have...?

Slang?!

What sort of slang do you have that you may (or may not) use in your country or local area?

Nothing rude or inappropriate of course.

I personally don't say it, but a lot of people here say yinz instead of you or y'all.

Also, thorn bushes are jaggers, when something is slippery it's slippy, and some people pronounce out, "ahht". >___>

I live in northeastern Pennsylvania and there are a lot of people around here who say weird things. For instance, sometimes people will say "heynah or no"... which essentially means "yes or no?" ... Also, the people around here have a nasty habit of saying "tree" instead of "three".2010-03-17 03:41:00

Just recently I know a couple of people who started saying 'beezy' for something cool. It came from 'the bees knees' I guess, which isn't exactly known for being a cool phrase.2010-03-17 04:06:00

Enter Californian male: California dude! Totally rockin' the waves ma man! Dude, you catch that gnarly wave! It was duderific!

Enter Californian girl: So, I was like totally just on Facebook last night, when she texted me and I was like, OMG, I can't believe you just did that, 'cause, you know of that thing she did. It was just like totally yeah.

And so on and so forth...

This sounds exactly like the way girls talk in Australia too.

And considering I'm from Australia just about every second word is slang or a bunch of words turn into one.
For example: Good night Mum would turn into goonighmum.

What's up? = What's happening
Oi = hey, excuse me
Bangers = sausages
Betcha = bet you
Exy = expensive
Mate = friend
Mozzie = mosquito
might add some more but my minds a bit blank, by the way this is slang that people in Australia actually use. Not just the stereotypical stuff like Bonza, nobody says bonza.

Southeastern Pennsylvania, Philly really.
Water becomes wutter, crayon becomes crown, and I recently learned that the word jawn (which is used to describe most everything!) is not universal! Who knew?
I guess we have our language regarding cheesesteak-ordering but I'm sadly not at all familiar with it.
Speaking of sandwiches, we've got hoagies.
Rather than 'you all' or 'y'all' we have variations on 'youse' or 'youse guys'
Lastly, we apparently invented 'yo'. I'm so proud

Wheels. Basically a possessive noun for how good someone is at flirting with the ladies.

"Oh my god! Andrew has wheels!"

"Look at Darren! He has less wheels than a boat!"

Nuts. Anything that is crazy, awesome or downright retarded is nuts around here lol

One word: HA!
Man, they got told!

Anywho, about slang, i don't think i have a specific slang, i've been moving from country to country and stat to state, so i just mix'em up and see what come out.

I'm from New York..SO I grew up with slang, yet I don't use it on the Internets. Basically most of the sentences here end with dawg, yo, or that N---- word that I won't say. Sometimes it's the other way around and dissing isn't dissing here, it's either cuttin' or rippin'. People don't say Gangsta much anymore, they are what we now call, a G.

And cdubb024, I swear those sound like Urban Dictionary definitions.

Everything that's either really good or really bad: GARBAGE!
Really anything else immature or possibly offensive. Kind of the way everyone talks where I live.... :blush:

Thanks Kernel for telling me that I've got wheels! Haha ;]

We've got a sort of slang within our own school, and so do other schools I know, when a mate came round he was saying words and I had no idea what he meant, same for him and some things I was saying 2010-03-19 10:52:00

Sideways - Looking at someone with ill intent - "I know this kat aint lookin' at me sideways."

Looking at someone sideways is slang? That's been around since forever, maybe not in the meaning you mentioned above but still I would say it's pretty common. Or was pretty common judging by the amount of older books (pre-1940) in which you find it.
