What's yur SLANG?

We all use it. We all use it differently. Feel free to post, share, and discuss yo slang here. It could be a single word, it could be a phrase. Anything that's slang to you that doesn't happen to fit your everyday "proper" English goes.

I guess I'll start with a few I'm most familiar with. Slang that I use and that I hear around me all the time. If you use any of these too, feel free to say so.



"Real talk" - I'm serious

"I put that on" - I swear

"Don't get it twisted" - Don't get it backwards/mixed up/confused/wrong

"wack" - dumb/stupid

"jank" - unfair/dumb/wack

"sick/bad" - awesome



There, now your turn. :3
I'm real curious to see how you Brits attack this!

Please keep it family-friendly. No offensive content!

American. But my slang is pretty odd. I have more than this. This is off the top of my head.

Janky - Odd, messed up, funky. Ex: That smells janky.

Poptart - A dumb or silly person. Can be used as an insult or a term of affection. Ex: When's the poptart gonna pop out of the toaster? Dear god it does not that long to go to the bathroom.|The cheerleading squad is full of poptarts.|You're a poptart.

Sayo - My own personal word for "bye". Derived from my original pronunciation of the word "ciao", because I am a poptart. Also derived from my love of the word "sayonara". Ex: Sayo, see you tomorrow!

Sick flow - nice hair

Cool story, bro - I really couldn't care less

Legit - This is totally official

Bawling - Awesome

Pffffttttt - not enough cusses in the world to explain this one.

Same - used when there is nothing better to say.

Stay mint, bra - kind of like an insult but can also be used jokingly when permitted.

Sick/dope/ill= awesome

Six to one, half dozen to the other= equal

Killed it= think I did really well.

Start going through tropes. You'll find the rest.

HAHA...My slang is one you people will consider bad English. It is a mix of quite a few languages, and is called Singlish (i'm from Singapore)
Most of what we say would be new to you...We use a great amount of profanity (normal usage, not me personally.)
We even have a dictionary on it. It is called http://www.singlishdictionary.com/ ...check it out

Boffin - like 'nerd' or 'smart-alec'. We're such boffins.

Ta - substitute for 'bye' or 'yes' or 'okay'. Do you want to come to the mall with me? Ta. Gotta run! Ta. Help me put this away. Ta.

Foo - like 'fool'. You foo! I can't believe you did that!

Deck - to punch someone. I had to deck her because she wouldn't shut up about Edward.

Mine is mostly the normal Midwestern corruption of the English language...

We use a LOT of profanity at school. The F word is loved but I avoid profanity as much as possible - not only cos it's offensive but because I'm a Good Boy.

It's a mix of West London slang, my own slang and foreign languages.
