- 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.
- the power of justice:
- In Australia, Melbourne to be exact, we have some weird slang terms:
Cunt: It's not an insult, if someone calls you a cunt, it means you're their friend. Weird, I know.
Bogan: Used to describe racist Anglo-Saxon Australians that live on welfare payments and are extremely patriotic. They're white trash, really.
Brah/cuz: Brother and cousin, used for close friends that feel like family.
Mint: Another word for cool, awesome, hot etc.
Mad: Same as above.
Smashed: Another word for drunk.
Muzza: Used to describe a teenage boy, usually Greek, Italian, Serbian/Croatian/Bosnian/Albanian or Middle Eastern (usually Lebanese or Turkish) descent that has an obsession with hair straighteners and have hairstyles that are often spiked at the back hole having a straightened fringe and may occasionally have a rat tail, drives. Nissan Skyline and is dressed head to toe in either Nike or Adidas even if they don't play sport.
Wog: Someone who is of the ethnicity listed above, but is not a muzza.
Lad: Like muzza, but worse.
You granola! Just kidding.
- disasterologist.:
- OMFG I live in the 303!!11! (I really do though, I'm in Boulder)
Basically all of these plus:
Your face - interchangeable with "your mom"
Bollerado - the town of Boulder, Colorado
Hun/Hon - Endearing term, short for honey, often used by lesbians.
Butt - Asshole
Goosebean - Silly person
Haha, yup. Most Australians use the same sort of slang. Ooh, we also have:
- Jonne Aaron.:
- I'm in Canberra, and a lot of kids I know use bogan, mad, wog, smashed and cunt like that.
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.
