I sarcasticly add yo to any sentence less than five words long and tend to mumble incoherently when I think of the right word or my thoughts only make sense to me. Also, I'm from Texas so I occasionally use phrases like yall or turdhook.

this is also why mr burns says "ahoy hoy" when answering the phone in the simpsons, it's a nod to "ahoy hoy" being the phone greeting instead of hello.

I always wondered what the hell was going on whenever he said that! Thanks!

np i never understood till i found out, as far as i know he will never say "hello" it's always "good day to you" or something like that. that show has a lot of really neat in jokes that revolve around certain characters

It depends. I'm not a fan of text-speak, since I think it shows an inherent laziness of the mind, and most of the time falls under the broad and general heading of "inane ape chatter". However, I usually sign off my online chats with CFN (Ciao For Now).

Come to think of it, I seem to have a lot of broad and general headings, so that's part of my slang, too.

When someone or something has pissed me off and I have to ask what's going on, I either say "what the gay Hell" or "what in goat-milking Hell". If I'm frustrated or pissed off enough to curse, my favorites depending on what type of situation I'm in are "puppyfuckers", "hucking fell", or "crumbcakes". I wouldn't have bothered with the last one, but I used to work in retail, and the area of the country I lived in had a large contingent of people who would literally walk into the grocery store and then pray to Jesus for the bounty they were about to receive.

If someone says something completely foolish to me, my reply is usually "you couldn't bludgeon me that stupid with a tack-hammer". If someone skids right past foolishness and slams headlong into stupidity profound enough to make me think of solving part of humankind's problems by jamming their head into the piston of an oil rig, I just go with "twitch".

That last one gets uttered regularly every time I hear George W. Bush, Jack Thompson, or Fred Phelps speak.

I use a few badly butchered Gaelic and Spanish and French phrases that I've picked up in random places (putting things off until Mañana, Aithníonn ciaróg ciaróg eile). Also I seem to cause a good bit of amusement every time I talk to my New York neighbours or any people near doctor's offices and coffee shops. Are poke and casket really such funny words?

My college room-mate and I had some stuff we would say-

You guys know the "Scary Movie" movies? Specifically, the character Shorty, played by Marlon Wayans? He would always say "Shit, son!" and usually laugh in this ridiculous, high-pitched way (cuz he was high all the time). We would say that pretty often (half the time my roomie would also be high or I would be drunk).

This rapper named Lil' John always punctuates his songs by loudly saying "WHAT". We started saying that as well, except it kind of mutated into it's own thing - a lot lower pitched and pronounced a little differently, like "ha-WUT"

It is pretty funny when you think about it - he's so old that he was probably around when the phone was invented :P Sadly, The Simpsons has sort of gone downhill these days if you ask me...

Another friend of mine has a friend who (if he's like giving directions or something) instead of saying "hang a left" will say "hang a lucifer"

My brother and I are musicians and we shared a love of The Beatles growing up (I swear our mother was a Beatles groupie at some point, as all we ever heard growing up was how every single one of them were national heroes). So being the self-proclaimed wordsmiths we were/are, here are a few of the lyrics that we modifyed for our slang.

Walrus Gumble- Our sister is cooking tonight and it will not be pleasant.

Mean Mr. Mustard- Our uncle

Lucy in the Sky- Bullshit (example from grammar school: "I just got kissed by Mary-Anne!" "Lucy in the Sky you did!")

Hey Jude- my nickname for my brother

Penny Lane- we called shopping malls in America this when we moved there.

Ringo- mad, bonkers, insane, most oftenly used as "You've gone Ringo!"

Trying to make a dove-tail joint- trying to get laid tonight

Expert-textpert- this basically means don't be a tool or don't follow bullshit (ex: "Teacher says that conformity is great!" "Don't get all expert-textpert on me.")

Lennon- it's over your head; too smart for you to try to understand (example from our first year at an American High School: Our Dean: "Why do you insist on being difficult?" My brother: "Because you're expert-texpert with a twist of Lucy in the Sky." Dean: "What does that even mean?" Me: "Don't mind him, he's just being Lennon.").

Come on, keep your comrade warm- come on, let's hang out (usually said to a female, but was used as a "bros before ho's" type thing once or twice)

"Would like to go on a Magical Mystery Tour with Sgt. Pepper?"- would you like to get drunk tonight

Rubber soul- condom

Blackbird- my brothers' favourite song by them is "Blackbird," so he used this so describe things that were to his fancy (i.e. "She's a real Blackbird on the eyes.")

There are many more, and we still use most of them. This is what you get for growing up right by Liverpool with parents who saturated our minds with every album. Oh well, it makes for entertaining conversation.

My slang would happen to be the English language. Which at certain times of the day can be quite vulgar. But don't take my word for it! Let the BBC do that for you

when spelling out things, epsecially over the phone, i will often use the phonetic alphabet, with a couple minor changes, once i had a lady that tried to write down all the words i was saying

funnier part was she was older than me

My favourite slangs are the period (as in a womans period) slangs. I use these to ask girls if it's that time of the month without them knowing if they're a little cranky.

My favourite slang for a heavy period is "Jam on Toast"

It came from a friend who'se missus was heavy one month, and he commented that it looked like "Jam on burnt toast", which got shortened.

Ahaha, that is class, I'm so using that one next time!

"GRAINED" in place of "owned" or "burned

"MACHLOON!" yelled in a thick Scottish accent whilst accompanied by the brandishing of a fist.
-may be used as a war cry, rallying cry, to indicate a charge, as a last stand inspiration, or as a victory cry.

also Viking gibberish

Maybe not specifically 'mine', but I've adopted:

Using 'Maggot' to describe anything disapprovingly.

'Herp/Derp' instead of outright sarcasm-"OH BOY IT SURE IS COLD OUT HERP DERP."

Doesn't really count as slang... but me and my friends do this way too often.

"Oh my god did you just see that!? I just raped 3 headshots out of those bastards!"
"I'll show you rape! BEND OVER!"
"I'll bend over... in my pants!"
"Yeah! well YOUR MOM!"
"I'll show you what I did to your mom! BEND OVER!"

Not really slang... but we use general internet terms and memes a lot.

Without too much ado, some of the more...Colorful slang I use or have used...

Slang: Man tar bara ut kulorna och HEADSHOT, HEADSHOT! ("You just take out the bullets and HEADSHOT, HEADSHOT!")
Use: In-joke I used to have with a few guys when I went to school based on a discussion on how to survive the first russian level of Call of Duty when you only get some bullets (By throwing them and get headshots, of course), turned into the idea that taking the bullets out of a gun and throwing them are MORE powerful than shooting.
It then turned into a general expression for ultimate win. The end of any discussion or argument, no matter what. ("Well, I think that a mage is far superior to an archer in morrowind", "Yeah? Well the archer can just take the out the bullets and HEADSHOT, HEADSHOT!")

Slutmuffins - Curse word used when you die in games
Fuckmuffins - Curse word used when you die in games
Jesus Slutmuffins! - Curse word used when you die in a surprising way in games
