Speaking of winter projects, thought it might be interesting to here some "slang" words from across the nation. Aside from the usual words heard in rap songs like 'G', 'B', 'Yo', 'Strapped', etc... I've got a small list of words I've heard all or most of my life. Here in Alabama we use a lot of slang!
What's some words that you guys (gals too!) use or have heard?
Here's the beginning of my list. I'm sure I could think of 100 more but for now:
* Wally World: A slang term for retail giant Walmart.
* K-Town: A slang term for retail chain Kmart.
* Targe': (pronounced tar'shay) A slang term for retail chain Target.
* Burger Smack: Slang term for Burger King.
* Choke & Puke: Slang for any small, cheap restaraunt or burger place. Made famous in the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" or one of it's sequals.
* Taco Death/ Taco Hell: Slang for Taco Bell restaraunts.
* Irk: To annoy. ie "That guy really irks me."
* Swirving: (Heard an Indiana Guy use this one) Drunk; To be intoxicated. ie "I'm swirving! I shouldn't have had that last drink!"
* Scroggins: (Heard an Indiana Guy use this one also! My favorite!) Guy/Girl relations. ie "Those two are scroggins- they're at it again!" or "I'm gettin' scroggins tonight!!!"
* Scrap/ Scrapping: To fight or fighting. Ryhmes with wrap.
* Floated: An empty keg
* GI Joe!: Look outside and see if the cops are here.
* Tig Ole Bitties: Word play for describing the chest area.
*Turtlehead or Prairie Dog: Ummm just know that's slang. This is a public board you know.
* GonnaSephaHerpalAids: (pronounced Gonna'Sefa'Herpul'Aids) To be sick. A girl/guy that gets around might have GonnaSephaHerpalAids, or everything.
I hope at least a couple of these are Alabama specific- I could name a few real Alabama specific words, but for now...
Peace and Merry Christmas!!!
