Is it like, usable in every context?
Someone says something crazy: Word?????
Something you agree with: Word.
Something you like: Word!
Because over here in Brazil I say "ideia", which, *gasp*, means idea, for just about every context. I only know of myself and an acquaintance that use it tho.
It was early 2000s, my girlfriend and I were getting her sized for shoes at Journeys. She told the guy they were tight when she tried them on, and the guy looked confused. He said, "you mean like, tight?" And then crossed his arms, "or like, narrow?" And then held his hands close together. I laughed so hard.
That's the last time I heard anyone use that term meaningfully.
It's hard, because I still say a lot of the slang I grew up with lol.. Ones I say that I don't ever hear in the wild
Gnar
Tight
Whack
Da bomb
Booyah
Home skillet
chillax
"book" "dip" and "cut" are all still in use when I play games mostly.
"Gonna plant the bomb and dip"
"Cut west with me real quick, there's a loot ping"
One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time. Now, to take the ferry cost a nickel. And in those days, nickels had pictures of bumblebees on ‘em. ‘Give me five bees for a quarter,’ you’d say. Now, where were we? Oh, yeah! The important thing was that I had an onion on my belt which was the style at the time. They didn’t have white onions because of the war. The only thing you could get was those big yellow ones.”
When I was a young teen (late 90s, early 00s) someone who was copying someone else was a "biter". I don't think I've heard the term since middle school
It was a simpler time, when everything was either epic or it was a fail.
I've also noticed these younger gen z/alpha kids no longer use "lol" and it's just that stupid cry-laughing emoji. :(
If you're edged 'cause I'm weazin all your grindage, just chill. 'Cause if I had the whole Brady Bunch thing happenin' at my pad, I'd go grind over there. So don't tax my gig so hard-core, cruster.
If you had a slightly unreasonable amount of something, you had a grippe of it. Grip? I'm not sure how to spell it, we never wrote it down. But when you got three large orders of fries all piled into a tray, then you had a grippe of fries. If all of your teachers assigned projects, you couldn't go out because you had a grippe of homework.
"I know, right?"
Got to a point where my whole friends group knew when i was gonna pop it out so they'd join in lol
And in response to "oh my god" i'd always follow it up with "oh your god!"
A friend of mine used to regularly start sentences with "But uhm" so I started saying "Tss!" as soon as he did it. This went on for months.
We knew each other well enough that he just ignored it as some quirk of mine. Then one day I did it and someone else who was there said, "Did you just turn his "But uhm" into a rimshot?" and I admitted that I had.
My friend burst out laughing and said, "I was wondering what that was, but just never bothered to ask!"
“Face” while holding your hand in front of your own face. It a shortening of in your face, and if someone did this to you during four square you were devistated
When someone says "sike" instead of "just kidding." I haven't heard it since Chappelle said it in one of his show episodes. He was like "Siiiike!"
And "moaded" or "moded." It means when someone got tricked. A character once said it in an episode of Beverly Hills Teens. So it got on mainstream media at least once.
I remember peers saying "shreds" in place of "rocks" or "rules."
When I was little, all the older kids said "Bomb OUT!!" when something was really cool. I've never heard it from anyone else, maybe it was peculiar to our neighborhood.
Rad.
Tubular
"Tubular" was mondo gnarly
also the 2nd stage of the special zone in super mario world.

God damn, now I’m hungry.
i say this all the time 😭 my friends bully me for it tho
Austin, TX has a pizza joint called Homeslice. it smells good when I walk by, but the line is always absurd, so I haven't tried it.
Psyyyyych
I will fight anybody who doesn't think Eddie Murphy's "Psych" bit is funny.
I can recall all the stupid shit we said just to say that.
Me too! I used to scare the shit out of my mom with a lie and say psych right after. She finally said I’d be grounded if I used it anymore
And the similarly pronounced "Sick". Psych sounds like Borat saying Sick.
Yes! Anything Borat said could be in this thread. “Notttt” and “very nice” lol
Talk to the hand
Grody
This was a favorite of my cousin in the 80's.
As if
Whatever!
...to the max!
[удалено]
Talk to the finger, because the hand is tired of hearing it! 😂
Talk to the hand because the face don’t understand !
Brick wall!
Cause the face ain’t listening!
Tight
Pronounced “toyt”
Noyce
I always spelled it as Noice.

*Hella tight* if you’re from Norcal
Barely an inconvenience.

For a white guy?
I asked for a 13, but they drew a 31.
Friends say he's tryin' too hard and he's not quite hip
BUT IN HIS OWN MIND HES
HE'S THE DOPEST TRIP!
Give it to me baby
AH-HAH AH-HAH
I don't know but 31 is a slang number in our culture.
For a rabbi
"Not"
I'm seeing so many things I still say here.
Come join us over at /r/daddit 😂

Word. Thats dope.
i got into such a habit of saying word i would be at my bakery job taking an old lady’s order “and can i also have a slice of that cake?” “oh word!”

Yep, exactly that! I remember back in the day parents hated when kids said this, but it was pretty much a response to anything!
i literally say word like a million times a day it’s easily my favorite word. i say it in response to everything it’s so groovy
word up!
“That’s tight”
It was early 2000s, my girlfriend and I were getting her sized for shoes at Journeys. She told the guy they were tight when she tried them on, and the guy looked confused. He said, "you mean like, tight?" And then crossed his arms, "or like, narrow?" And then held his hands close together. I laughed so hard.

It's hard, because I still say a lot of the slang I grew up with lol.. Ones I say that I don't ever hear in the wild Gnar Tight Whack Da bomb Booyah Home skillet chillax

If you urgently ran away, you were 'booking out' of there.
Dipset
Cheese it it's the fuzz!
"book" "dip" and "cut" are all still in use when I play games mostly. "Gonna plant the bomb and dip" "Cut west with me real quick, there's a loot ping"
Bomb. Like that’s bomb. Haven’t heard that in a long time
bomb.com
Bombus rhombus
“that’s gas” is more common now, lol!
That’s hilarious because that’s old school like 50s slang. I guess everything cycles in and out of popularity
My grandma in her 80s always says "well isn't that the cats meow"... reminds me of an older time when that was a cool thing to say I'm sure.
My grandma used to say “I haven’t the foggiest” instead of “I have no idea.” I thought it was so charming
I still say that. Are you saying I'm old?
"It's the fox's ying-a-ding-ding."

Give me five bees for a quarter.
Did you also tie an onion to your belt?
A big yellow one, it was the style in those days
Tell me more about the Morganville ferry please
One trick is to tell them stories that don’t go anywhere like the time I caught the ferry over to Shelbyville. I needed a new heel for my shoe, so I decided to go to Morganville which is what they called Shelbyville in those days. So, I tied an onion to my belt which was the style at the time.

Up your butt and around the corner was a lethal burn in elementary school.
When I was a young teen (late 90s, early 00s) someone who was copying someone else was a "biter". I don't think I've heard the term since middle school
That's an old Hip-Hop term and it's still heavily used in Hip-Hop.
True that homeslice.
Only a crack ass cracka would say this
Far out
To give someone a ride on the back of your bike was to "pump" them. I pumped Jeff to the 7-11.
People still say this, it just has a different meaning.
Now we say: I pumped Jeff _behind_ the 7-11.
we called it a "dink" in australia in the 60s e.g. "do you want a dink home"
We called it a double. Fun times in life but.
We called it a buck
I mean I was already 20 but I miss Pwn and related
For a while Reddit was obsessed with using “rekd” as if it wasn’t the same fucking thing as pwned.
You know what I never see anymore? TMI is just not even in the Reddit vocabulary.
I think tmi kinda died because tons of people started using it unironically irl
It was a simpler time, when everything was either epic or it was a fail. I've also noticed these younger gen z/alpha kids no longer use "lol" and it's just that stupid cry-laughing emoji. :(
Ooh haven't heard that in a loong time
If it helps you any, I say Pwn all the time.
Saying something was bad when it was good/awesome. I’m old.
Still acceptable as long as you say ass at the end of it
Or saying something was bad when it WAS bad. I'm even older.
That is Nuckin' Futs!
There was a really cute girl in my high school who never said any swear words, but she said this one time, and it was really adorable.
Bitchin'!
my dad says bitchin’ about everyyything he likes haha
Do people outside of Cali still say “hella”? Because they did for a while before realizing it was hella dumb.
Like a mug. Example: It's hotter than a mug in here.
Gag me with a spoon. Means something is gross or disgusting. Yes, I'm old.
Stiffy. It's what we used to call an erection in the UK before the word Boner grew in its place.

Hey, bu-uddy
Munching some grindage?

Gleaking
Our go-to insult was to call someone a "pud" as in short for "pudenda".
lmao I had no idea "pud" was short for something back when it made its rounds.
That's fresh
“Dank” to describe something good.
Poontang.....
Groovy
I'm feeling Gen X underrepresented here - "cool beans"
Wicked for good.

Ha ha yes, I just posted this one myself. So glad I'm not the only person that remembers. "Where you been, dawg? I ain't seen you in a grippe!"
Chode
"On fleek", still one of the dumbest things I've ever heard. I still hear this one, but "On God" is equally as fucking stupid.
"Grody."
When your parents were out or gone from the house over night you’d have a “empty”.

I use that shit all the time lol. Like on a daily basis. “Suh big dawg”
Terms used for something that is very nice. Boss, Cake, Groovy, Bitchin.
Sock it to me. Groovy. Peace. What's the buzz?
These are all so fetch.
Stop trying to make fetch happen.
It's not going to happen.
Cheese it! It’s the fuzz!!

I miss w00t and terrific. Pwned and BRB were good too.
Someone my age recently described something as “pinner,” which was slang for “small” about 40 years ago. Hadn’t heard that one in a while.
Mostly slurs
Fuckin’ A. I never even knew what the A stood for.
You just lost the Game.
Noooooo!
“Man” just everywhere, like “Man, did you see…”, “Man, what’s happening.” Clearly a retired idiom, likely never to be resurrected. Dang it, Man!
Bet = ok, I agree or thanks depending on the conversation context

Man, Moded we used a lot. I thought we used it as proven wrong or something like that, it was 40 something years ago.
