local slang
what words/sayings are local to where you live or where your from?
|
"I'mma fixin' ta' fuck that goat"
translation: I am about to put my penis inside of that small horned animal. |

I only really find out when I leave town.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ridgey_Didge The ridgey didge hand gesture is also a fantastic way to covertly find other australians in the area. They will 9/10 echo back at you with a laugh if you are in a foreign country. |

Living in California means local slang doesn't stay local for very long.
It's hella lame. |

hella true. |
'Fargo' accurately describes it.
|
"N'ahp" is a good one. It's a kind of half-arsed sound that means 'Oh yes?' or vague, non-committal assent.
They call woodlice 'Daddy Granfers' round here, which is a funny one because it was only relatively recently I realised that no-one else calls them that. Because, y'know, you don't talk about daddy granfers that much in the real world. Here's some more words if you're interested. |
I naturally refer to cigarettes as 'boys'. So do a good amount of my friends. I'm pretty sure that's local.
Ex: "Let me hit that boy." Translation: "Give me a puff of your cancerous tobacco stick." |
okay, this is not about english language, but nevermind. Where I come from, people say:
šrac = young fella, dude čaja = young girl, mostly very good looking bazmeg = something like "fucking hell!" brička = tram very unusual to regular slovak language. noone else except people of my town speak this way |

There's a south London? I thought you just got marauded by krakens/ fell off the edge of the earth when you went beyond Waterloo?

Northern France is often ridiculed for its accent, with "A" being replaced by "O", etc; not many people speak that way though, or at least not that extremely.
|
slavo do you have a new girlfriend? only gypsy girls are chaj/a/e
and basmeg is def. from hungary slovakia is so unique! also slavo which of these beers should i try http://www.pragacafe.ca/spirits.pdf i haven't had a beer in almost a month and it's starting to piss me off |
Quote:
you are very right, wellcharge, it's obvious you've spent some time in Eastern Europe. "chaje" comes from gipsy language, and therefore it's unusual that people of my town adopted it as a regional slang. bazmeg is a hungarian word, you are 100% correct. out of those beers on your list, you should try Pilsner Urquell (sure shot...i'd be surprised if you hadn't tried that before), and Krusovice. Czechvar is just a shitty american way to say Budvar (who has been to a long lawsuit with Budweiser for the brand name, that's why they renamed it to Czechvar for the north american market). I don't like this particular brand, it gives you headache. |
urquell is good stuff yeah, i'll try a krusovice is the cerne one dark? i would prob. like that better. is the slovak one golden pheasant good?
|
Quote:
yes, cerne is dark. krusovice dark is especially good. golden pheasant is okay, however I prefer Saris (eastern Slovakian brand, all the easterners are proud of it), especially the dark version of it - Tmavy Saris. ![]() |
"git 'r dun"
translation: I drank a 12 pack and threw the cans out of my window, hitting a native American that was more drunk than me. later, I had sex with my dog's puppies and fell asleep in a pool of my own vomit. |
As an Australian with Southern Euro roots, I cannot relate to 75% of these terms, but here they are:
http://www.aussieslang.com/ If you say 'em out loud, make sure to use yr best nasal twang. There's no reference though, to some of the 'colourful' similies you may still hear in the bush if you wander in deep enough. For example, say it's 'dry'. How dry? It's dry as a gorilla's armpit. It's dry as an arab's jockstrap It's dry as a dead dingo's donger. And most disturbing... It's dry as a nun's cunt... |
^ha
My husband and I use some of our own slang which includes but is not limited to: herbage grennery chedder (means weed), build a tower (refering to bowel movements), xanax head(when you run out of medicine and everything is bouncy), and then the usual not so local terms that have infiltrated my mind such as: fuckin sweet, bad ass, whats up yall, awesome, Oh yeah (spoken in a drawn out tone like tony the tiger) fuck that shit |
It's colder than a well digger's ass
|
qwel for crack
skaq for heroin diesel also heroin flacco any Puerto Rician dealer trim for cunt |

My husband has the nastiest mouth you will ever hear. "Sweet pussy meat"

Eminem's 8 Mile is about right.

slang dominates perhaps 50% of my speech.. it is a wonderful mix of cholo spanglish, crip-onics, and of course deep jamaican patois... sometimes I don't even know what I am talking about ;) |
my children are called : chitlins
|
Quote:
I would call em "lih-kkle y-oot" (little youth) |
if it's a young child, of roughly toddler age or a bit older, then some people here call them 'nippers'. But you don't hear it so much now.

The latest my buddy brought from Vermont...local to the Putney region,
'moke jibba !! |
Quote:
I really like 'bairn', which I assume comes from Scots Gaelic. One of the better ones here is to call everyone except kids 'kiddies'. |
|
^^^ I'm semi-fluent in australian.
I've lived too many places to develop a solid-base. my language includes far too many clashing colloquialisms. I try to limit this, but sometimes, I can't help it. mostly, chingalosas, I just like to learn how to swear. |
