 Coolness: 133860 | I personally like pretending to be a gangsta gangsta. My sister stumbled upon this so I decided to brush up on my vocab. I kid I kid.
Bait/bait out: Also, caught/caught out. Obvious parental inferences. “No, I can’t go to the mall. I’ve been bait out.” Bling/bling bling: Noun and verb, describing the wearing of ostentatious jewellery. “That’s some bling you got there.” Role model: Rap artist and recording mogul Sean (P. Diddy) Combs. According to The New York Times Magazine, “bling blinging is most easily understood as flaunting that $1 million Piaget diamond-crusted watch. It doesn’t tell time any better than a plastic Casio; it does send a clear message that the wearer has money to burn.” Bounce: Leave, clear out. “I’m bored. Let’s bounce.” Cheddar/chedda: Money. One Internet site suggests this usage: “Yo, what’s up with that cheddar you owe me?” Try it three times in the privacy of your bathroom. Try not to laugh. Chill/chillin’: Hanging out, as in, “We’re just chillin’.” Replaced the very west coast “kicking back,” which was replaced by “kickin’ it” before re-emerging as “chillin’.” Resist the temptation to show off your knowledge by talking about The Big Chill. They don’t care. Chillax: To chill and relax concur-rently. This may sound redundant. Advice: It’s unwise to suggest any grammatical points of weakness to the tribe, as you run the risk of being shut out of further explanations of what the words actually mean. (Also, chizzil.) Crib: Home. Or where one hangs. Hence, “I gotta head back to the crib.” Gives a clear picture of how the linguist views home life. Cris: Fine, good. Pronounced with a hard C and short I. “How ya doin?” “Cris.” Dawg: Friend. “’Sup, dawg?” Dude: So done, yet still in use —particularly among skaters (skateboarders). “Dude, awesome fakey 180 grind.” Fa’sheezy, fasheezi, fashazel, fo’shizzle: And other variations, all meaning “for sure.” Fly: In style. Cool. Can also refer to a person deemed attractive. “That’s so fly.” Or “She’s fly.” Funky: No, it isn’t back. Just threw it in to see if you were paying attention. Homie: Pal. Buddy. “Yo, homie, ’sup?” Plural usage, variously, homes or homies. Homeboy/homegirl: Boyfriend, girlfriend. Ill: The word formerly known as “cool.” (See “Sick.”) Appears to have gained universal popularity. Usually uttered in the unelaborative answers common to the teen fraternity: “That’s ill, bro.” Lampin’: West coast equivalent of chillin’. Old school (or Old skool): This one’s tricky. Means old style that’s back in style. Translation: everything you threw away in the ’70s. May include macramé. Overshare: A shortcut for telling the speaker he/she is offering too much information. “So I coughed and this really icky green stuff…” “Overshare!” Phat: Way cool, way attractive. Can be used to describe a person, though now more commonly used to describe a thing or circumstance. Various attempts have been made to explain the word’s origins, including an acronym for Pretty Hips and Thighs. Best not to go there, but stick with the obvious: What’s phat is phat. Poseur: “He’s such a poseur.” No surprises here. A poseur is someone who pretends to be something he/she is not, or who pretends to be able to do something he/she cannot. “He says he can do a 50-50.” “No way. He’s such a poseur.” Random: When people say or do something unexpected. “What Sheila said, that was so random.” Also describes anyone new, uninvited, unwanted, uncool, out of place, etc. “The party sucked. All these randoms showed up.” Sick: Cool. (See “Ill.”) According to The Seattle Times, sportscasters have started using this phrase on air, a sure sign that its days are numbered. “That Junk Yard Dog, he’s sick, man.” Sketchy: Opposite of sick. Something cheap, done to a poor standard. “That movie was sketchy.” Suuweeet: Must be drawn out in that way, uttered, if possible, with a note of wonderment. “Did you see that backflip? That was suuweeet!” Without the emphasis, it does not work. This one has been around for a dog’s age. Trippin’: To have a problem, the non-psychedelic version. “She’s trippin’.” Truethat: That’s right. Sometimes said as “tru dat.” When you ask the question, “Did you clean up your dishes?” this is unlikely to be the response. Whack: Really good. Or really bad. Depends entirely on inflection. “Oh, she’s so whack.” (Good.) “Oh that movie was so whack.” (Bad.) Whackasella: Some thing or person that is whack in either a good or bad way. See above. Wassup: The self-explanatory catch-phrase that will not die. Incongruously launched at the 2000 Super Bowl as the central sound bite to a Budweiser commercial. Pronounced “Whaazzaah?” Abbreviation: ’Sup? Word: Amen. Used to concur with something said by someone else. Unlikely to be used in response to any expression/phrase/request/ command issued by a parent. Also, word-up, meaning ’sup? |
