  • Yes, I totally necroed this thread because I think slang is really interesting and didn't want to start a new one on the same topic. My bad.

    I think a lot of the slang we use around here is pretty standard all-around, but I know Denver must have at least a few unique words...

    Legit - Can mean cool, or a way of saying okay or assuring something, but around here, it can be used for anything. It's almost like interjecting "like" in to your speech.
    Sketch - Sketchy, shady, bad, etc. Can almost mean low-quality, like, "That nug I bought was real sketch".
    Skeezy - Similar to sketch, but not exactly the same. Usually used to describe a person who's sketch, but also kinda gross or back-stabbing.
    Maddog/Meanmug - To glare at someone, give them the evil eye, etc.
    Steezy - Someone or something that's chill, stylish, laid-back, and fly.
    Kool-aid - Shitty beer, or shitty alcohol in general.
    Mad - A lot of, like Boston's "wicked" or Cali's "hella", but can be used in other ways, too.
    Chill - Used to describe anyone or anything in any context. Makes up about 80% of most young Coloradons speech.
    Beast/Beastly - Intensely fucking awesome.
    Gnar - Can mean either really awesome or really gross, depending on context. Can be joined with other words to make a compound of gnarliness.
    Gnar gnar - Really deep snow.
    LoDo - Means lower downtown, but can refer to all of downtown Denver.
    Epic - Fucking awesome and unforgettable.
    Pow/Pow Pow - Fresh snow.
    Sick/Sickie - Awesome.
    Up the hill - Upper Colorado.
    Down the hill - Lower Colorado.
    ...as balls - As a modifier. Like if you say, "This mad pow is cold as balls", would mean "All this snow is really cold". You can also use a verb in front of balls, like, "It's raining balls", meaning, "It's raining a lot". Colorado loves balls.
    Fourteener - A mountain 14,000+ feet tall.
    I'm not gonna lie, but... - Like, "I'm not gonna lie, but you look like shit".
    All sorts - A lot, really. Like, "He got all sorts of fucked up in that fight".
    The 303 - An area of Colorado where the area code is 303, but because of the terrible band, dumbasses all over Colorado say they live in the 303.
    Clean/Fresh - Cool in a stylish, fly way.

    Gosh, I'm gonna stop now, but I could go on forever. I use all of these words constantly and listing them, realized how stupid I and everyone I know must sound. Good thing I try to watch my slang use on sites like this. xD
    That's another thing about Colorado - most of our slang isn't original, but we use it constantly. At least in my area, it can sound like we're speaking another language.

    I'm in Canberra, and a lot of kids I know use bogan, mad, wog, smashed and cunt like that. Shifty

    We also have:

    Sick-cunt, often written as sikkunt, which is used to describe or refer to someone who has done something awesome [eg. "Oh man, did you see him do that thing? What a sikkunt!"].

    Dog, depending on context, can have a few different meanings. To call someone a dog is to call them a bitch, effectively, but it's more offensive and effective - you can call your best friend a bitch, for instance, but never call her a dog. To dog on someone is to bitch at them, such as spreading rumors or starting fights. Dogging is bitching in general.

    There's a hundred different words for fight, especially fights between girls. One that comes to mind is monging, manging, something like that. I don't even know half of them.

    You granola! Just kidding. Razz
    But seriously, no way! I never meet people online who live in the 303!
    I'm up in D-Town, bro. Haha.
    P.S. People who live in Colorado are the mofo shit.

    And yes, totally all of those, too.
    Espeially Bollerado, hun, and "your face".
    Except within the past two years or so, I've heard Bollerado refer to anywhere down the hill in Colorado, and I myself tend to use it for anywhere in Colorado.

    And in Colorado, we drop the "T" in a lot of words.
    Mountain = Moun'in, Fountain = Foun'in, etc.
    And a ton more that don't just rhyme with mountain/fountain.
    My ex and I made a whole list one day of all the dropped-T words and realized how dumb us Bolleradons really sound. xD

  • I don't know why, but where I'm from everyone always says "wheeling" someone, like you're trying to hook up with them. And it's like a person has "wheels" if they get with a lot of people. If they get with a lot of people, "monster truck wheels", aha.

    Also, that stage before people are dating, everyone calls "dealing".

    And when someone... well, I guess, tattle-tales or tells a secret they weren't supposed to they are "snaking" one someone. That person is deemed a "snake" or "king cobra" or "anaconda."

    And "that's some next sh*t" like that's some next level sh*t.

    No one else shares these slangs, apparently, aha.

    :D
