What words/sayings are unique to where you live?

[CptStern]

keep forgetting you guys are younger than I am ...I loved cheers

 

[ríomhaire]

I don't know how local these are but:
"How she cuttin'?" means "How are things?"/"How's life?"/"How you doing?" etc.


"STATEMENT!" When someone says something rather stupid
Usage:
"French people from France are stupid"
"That's some statement lad"


"I was so locked last night" = "Was was drunk last night"


Edit:
All soft/fizzy/whateveryouwanttocallthemdrinks can be called coke.


"I'm just rising you" = "I'm just messing with you"






And BTW. The ultimate comeback: "And?" "So?"
"I f*cked your mum last night"
"And?"
"She enjoyed it"
"So?"
"Er..."

"Your gay"
"And?"
"You slept with Michael Jackson"
"So?"
"..."

I'm currently living in Pittsburgh, a town famous for its strong regional dialect: Pittsburghese. I try to stay away from Pittsburghese, but my friends and I have recently been coming up with our own phrases and words. To name just a few:


Beer: Bronson, Eye (Reference to our favorite cheap beer: J.J. Wainwright's Evil Eye Honey Brown)


cigarette: Dwight (reference to Dwight Yoakam = Dwight Smoke em'), gremlin, grem stick


hangover: business headache


a favor: a solid (Others use this, although it is not too common)

Hey, do me a solid and grab me a bronson.



(You can tell we're a drinking crowd.)

Burger van = something so exciting everyone must pay attention - "shit, what a burger van! Let's get over there!"

Mass debate - any kind of argument where both sides ignore each other - "where's J?" "He's having a mass debate with his girlfriend."

 

[Raziaar]

I live in texas... but i'm COMPLETELY slang free. Don't slur any words, don't do any of that stuff.

 

[kaf11]

Burger van = something so exciting everyone must pay attention - "shit, what a burger van! Let's get over there!"

I really like this one.

Oh, another one we sometimes use:

nice tits: phrase used to describe something good

"You don't have class today? Thats nice tits."


Disclaimer: My friends and I are not misogynist assholes, we just think the phrase works rather well.

 

[OCybrManO]

Mass debate

So, "mass debating" is popular where you live? I, too, am a "mass debater." I "mass debate" several times a day. I find that dirty pictures help my "mass debating" sessions. What do you use?

[DeusExMachina]

lol.

I get it...

 

[Blackghost905]

Um, I'm not completely sure but I think Ohio is the only place where we say "pop" instead of "soda" or whathaveyou.

Penn. is where they say it

 

[Septih]

well i looked up a few words that might be durham related, and found this for stash:

Items of clothing, usually aquired whilst at University, baring the name of a club to which the wearer belongs and usually a obscure nickname picked up in Freshers' Week. Every club or team likes to believe that they have the best stash. Highly desirable at universities like Durham, UK.

Tarquin: "Shall we do a Bailey bar crawl in our Tennis Stash?"
Rupert: "Oh golly! That would be delightful!"

 

[ComradeBadger]

- Few bits of University slang (some from my hometown, some I've picked up from mateys )

Lush, mint, cool beans - Good, cool (from Kent)

Boy, son, fella, mate, pal - Friend

Usage: 'That were proper lush son' / '****ing mint mate'

Good stuuuuuury - For when someone tells a really boring story (this is from Cheshire)

Ace - Good, cool (From up north)

Usage: 'Ace night out mate'

**** about, Have a word - Used instead of sort it out etc

Usage: 'Seriously boys, **** about, next pub' / 'Mate, have a word, she's got a fella'

Let's get on it - Let's get wasted/drunk

Treed, Shitfaced, Wrecked, Ruined, Wankered, Pissed-up, Rat-arsed, Annihilated, ****ed, Battered, Gattered, Pissed, Off your face, Out of your tree, Stewed, Steaming, Trashed, Trollied - Drunk

I'll add more when I remember

 

[OvA]

soda in the south is usually just "coke" or "sprite"

ya'll instead of you all or you guys

and possibly the most annoying of all (even though I say it)

" fixin' " instead of "about to"

i.e. I'm fixin' to go to the mall


Southern accents are apparently hilarious to the rest of the country...

I personally amused by Extreme northern accents as heard when visiting Pennsylvania

you guys sounds like Yoo gooyes to me


There was a chick in one of my classes that had just moved from California, and she kept saying hella this hella that and it too every bit of self control in me not to smack the crap out of her

 

[Septih]

badger, do you not use lashed at your uni, another one for drunk?

 

[Ennui]

so hard

New Jersey slang for doing something well. Similar to "the best."

Dude I just nailed that test so hard.

I just napped so hard.

Not NJ slang.

It's in NC too.

 

[DeusExMachina]

Not NJ slang.

It's in NC too.

Yeah, but we're cooler.

 

[Ennui]

Undoubtedly.

 

[Greatgat]

Penn. is where they say it

So, an Ohio original? I am, 'till I moved to CO. When I got here, everyone seemed vaguely confused everytime I said, "So, who wants more pop?"

Wierd.

 

[Adabiviak]

We'll call anyone doing anything out of the ordinary a heroin addict. Example: my friend begins to jaywalk. The appropriate response is, "Hey heroin addict, get out of the road!"

 

[Glirk Dient]

Minnesota says pop too, so it is definately this region that says it.

Oh...something that is unique to MN is the word "hotdish". Everyone else forsakes that or is ever so delicious contents. I'm hungry now!

oh ya....you betcha!

 

[Uriel]

Idaho

Dadgumit and Carrotsnappers (refering to those who live in Utah)

 

[sinkoman]

[Tollbooth Willie]

Mississippi ( I'm joking about this but its a little saying I use from time to time)

If YOUUUUUUUUUUUU come down here and complain about our BBQing and our humidity, you gonna set yourself up for a good old fashioned Southern ass whuppin!

Nice job ass hole, you wiped dog shit in my car again.

Dammit I hate Jackson. I really, really do.

 

[OMGjohnConnor]

To those of you who think Qonfused is creative, he's not. He stole my line "This cheese is quite spicy."

That's a unique one, because I made it up.

 

[Qonfused]

[Last One In]

To throw down means to fight in my hometown of Butte Montana. Spread the word and tell everyone that you want to throw down with them. Seeing as how no one gives a shit about human diginity anymore and how everyone man is for himself, go throw your self in a fight and ****ing do the world a favor and die. Sorry guys but I saw a ****ing lobsided fight where the other guy wasn't doing shit,but begging for mercy, while the other guy pummeled his ass. The worst part about it was that when I tried to step in and stop the fight, a bunch of guys almost beat my ass for trying to stop an unfair fight. This world is ****ed and is going to hell if there aren't a few people out there willing to stand up for what is just.

 

[TIIMMYY]

Corkheads. Means someone born on the Isle of Wight, or someone who wasnt......not sure.

Yeah, I hate living here.

 

[Firebox]

Splin. Is my word. Does that count?

Australia is so boring.

 

[Cormeh]

Splin. Is my word. Does that count?
