gezostahagen = some unknown part of human anatomy.

usage: "That was a royal pain in the gezostahagen."

It seems to have found its way down through my
mother's side.

 

[koban4max]

"What it do" = what's sup?

"keep grindin'"=keep hustling

 

[Matt.9:22]

a whole 'nother is texan for a different item- i.e., that's a whole 'nother story!

 

[Someguyouknow]

Straight = alright
Example:
"You straight?"
How was the movie? "Straight"

Yep yep, I'm saying = indeed (inside joke)
Example:
Wasnt Halle Berry looking good on the awards last night? "Yep yep, I'm saying"

 

[he4rty]

If you mention two opposite statements and it is pointed out usually respond with "same difference".

some food terms

Dumplings = Dough boys
Swede = squidge ( only cause thats the way i used to say it when younger)

 

[GreenMunchkin]

Ooh, I always thought "dodgy" was British! How odd.

"Innit", both as a question, and as an affirmative.

"That car's blue, innit."
"Innit, just."

 

[GoodNewsJim]

I'm going to rhed(clean) up the room n'at.

There's even a webpage for Pittsburghese.

www.pittsburghese.com

I think they go a little overboard, but some of the words are right.

Ha, my lab group for physical anthropology just invented the "Tifibula" (Plural: Tifibulae). This is a combination of Fibula and Tibia (lower leg bones). I now use it in everyday conversation, and it's a running joke with our entire class. Such as, "Man my tifibula's really hurtin today!"

We discovered a problem with this new term during the bones of the body test when we actually had to remember the actual terms "fibula" and "tibia" and all we could remember was "tifibula."

Pownied (My advanced leet speek) Its like pwned but you can actually pronouce it.

Aw man the fondness I have for gamer speak is great. I actually had an English class where my teacher was writing his dissertation on the "language" of MMORPGS. Great stuff. My favorites are pretty much all the versions of "Noob", such as:

"newb", "noob", "nub", "n00b" ----> all pronounced "Newb" and meaning "player who is new at the game and therefore sucks and will get all his friends killed."

Other variants meaning the same: "Newbie," "Noobsauce."

My personal additions that my friends and I all now use (but I coined! Go me!):
1. "Re-Newb", meaning "one who is not new to the game but has not played for a long time and is therefore equivalent to a noob"

2. "PermaNoob", meaning "one who is not new to the game but has the general competency of a newt and will therefore forever and always be a total n00b at heart."

Man, now I want to play WoW...

 

[Jenster]

Y'all crack me up! I have NO IDEA what some of youz are sayin', if you catch my drift.

Two expressions that I use but don't hear many people say are "Oy vey!" and "Ai Ya!" Both are exclamations of surprise (or shock and disgust), but the first is Yiddish and the second is Chinese. They're not so much regional as ethnic.

 

[TySJI]

Man, now I want to play WoW...

No you don't; not in the long run anyways.

I was hooked on that game in a bad way. As soon as you start doing 20 or 40-man raids you're non-work life is shot.

 

[Jesus24hours]

...Hi there ALL

... "chalk and cheese" = different; no match...e.g.
Bill Clinton and Mother Tereasa.....

..."gidday" = Good day... e.g.
gidday mate"

..."wicked" = Awesome... e.g.
WoW! that car is wicked"

 

[Idahofroggie]

My ex and I came up with a word that now a miriad of my friends use. Trazmaboik. Seriously. The reason being we had small children and were trying to come up with something that wouldn't be repeated.

 

[Jesus24hours]

..." get a room" = when two people of the opposite sex are being overly touchy with each other..etc.
....that is what you say to them!! :o

 

[Jesus24hours]

...." you da' BOMB!!" = You're The Best!
e.g. Someone does something wonderfull for you, you say to them...."You da' BOMB!!

 

[sweetlambofgod]

lame= why would you do that?
burn= what you say after someone was insulted
owned=I just proved you right

 

[fragglerocker]

No you don't; not in the long run anyways.

I was hooked on that game in a bad way. As soon as you start doing 20 or 40-man raids you're non-work life is shot.

I've played WoW recreationally for a year and a half now, I've done many 20-man raids, and I manage good grades and a healthy non-school life. Addictions are very personal and vary on a case-by-case basis. What becomes an addiction for one person may not be for another. Some people can keep it in moderation, others can't. Personally, I don't have the attention span or the stamina to be really addicted to a video game. I like my "real" life too much. But I think it's wonderful that you were able to be strong and get away from your addiction.

So, yes, I do want to play WoW. But that is not to be confused with "I want to play WoW at the expense of all other things."

Sorry people...end of thread hijack...

 

[GreenMunchkin]

Nor sure how to spell these...

"Flibbertyjibbert" is a noun for someone who's all, like, flibbertyjibberty.

And, my favourite is "Shperdoinkal!" to express shock and awe. Few events in life warrant a shperdoinkal, though.

 

[Uniting]

Haven't heard those GM!

Shutzpah = zest

 

[GreenMunchkin]

Haven't heard those GM!

Shutzpah = zest

Aww, Uniting! I never see you round here! Is so nice to bump into you

Is shutzpah the same as chutzpah? Like a yiddish word for being quite "ballsy".

Ooh, I tend to add "ness" and "ly" to words that shouldn't have it. Like muchly and lotsly, and "Things with green-ness rock!"

There's also a phrase round these parts: "Much of a muchness" which means more of the same.
