Title: NEW WORD FOR TODAY
Post by: MattyBoy100 on November 26, 2006, 05:34:25 AM
The new word for today is KNACKERED.

If you don't know what it means, I suggest you look it up cos I ain't gonna tell you!    ???

Here are some clues though,

"The donkey was KNACKERED after it ploughed Matty's field."

"Matty was KNACKERED after dialysis."

Oh, the joy of learning colloquialisms and slang.

My best friend is from a rural area in the upper part of New York state.  Her family came from a French speaking part of Canada -- she grew up speaking French with her grandparents at home and American English in school.  She was raised strict Catholic -- never heard American slang, especially anything "naughty".  Since she teaches young children she rarely hears much at work.  (Though since she moved to K4 in a Title I school of mostly poor students here in South Carolina, she is leaning some new words.  :lol;)

We're on the phone one day talking about a movie I want her to see, "Flawless".  I mention that one of the characters is a "Drag Queen".  She thinks it's an auto racing term  :lol; so she turns to her race nut husband as he walks through the room and asks, "Bob, what is a "Drag Queen?"   :rofl;  She said his face quickly changed expression and I could hear him ask very loudly, "Who are you taking to?"  She stammers and tells him it's me and we're discussing a movie -- I can hear her husband laughing loudly as he's leaving the room and he tells her to ask me.  In between bouts of laughter I tell her and she asks, "WHY WOULD YOU WATCH A MOVIE WITH THAT IN IT?"  :rofl; :rofl; So I have to explain that Robert De Niro plays the lead and Phillip Seymour Hoffman is wonderful.  Several weeks later she watched the movie, and I had to pause it several times to explain some of the dialogue because of the street slang being used -- she is soooo funny :rofl;  I love her dearly.

BTW, sorry you were knackered.  Oh, and here mules plowed fields.  :lol;

My boyfriend is English.  He always uses the expression, "absolutely knackered." 
And in Engand isn't it always absolutely "chucking it down?" 
He has taught me rhyming slang, but it oh so inappropriate for the family hour.   :beer1;

I have a few clean ones.
How about "Have a butchers?"

family hour - prime time - the 8pm time slot when the family-friendly tv shows without bad language are supposed to be on. . .

While we're defining slang terms, how about this one - my gram uses "hornswaggled" a lot.  I just like the way it sounds. . . .(obscene, mostly, even though the definition isn't).

"I was hornswaggled on the deal."

Nice one Alasdair didn't think of that one. I'm assuming that all our various euphemisms involving bollocks may not be widely known on the other side of the pond so I'll we'd better give an explanation. <THE DOGS BOLLOCKS>= The absolute best.. Top of the range....unbeatable.

Jacked is basically a ghetto term, a shortened meaning to the word highjacked (http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/highjacked).  Simply put, it means "to seize control of by use of force".

Same here.  I dislike it when kids find ghetto slang as their only form of speach.  Like for example: I replace a few missing screws in a clients motorcycle and when I tell them about it, ( fishing for a tip ) the only responce I get is "good lookin dawg".  ::)

One of the funniest cartoons I ever saw was many years ago -- an old black and white, hand drawn, in our newspaper.  It was two young guys standing on a street corner -- both were obviously "Hippies" -- long bushy hair, head band with flowers, mustache, hip hugger bell-bottom pants, hippie vest with slogans, peace sign necklace, and "love beads".  Just past them, walking away, is a tottering, stooped over, white-haired, old man, dressed in a black suit, with a nice hat, and a cane.  Both young men look puzzled, and one is asking the other, "What's a whippersnapper?"

A BABBLER here is someone who talks GIBBERISH fast.

A BUBBLER is someone who is always crying like the girls who keep asking me for dates that I turn down.

It's MY PLEASURE to explain this.

By the way, Angie, TOURNIQUET was spelt wrong in one of your posts but I thought I would correct you here in this post.

And for those smart assess out there SPELT exists in the English language!!!

What is a bubbler?

I think it is when someone keeps talking endlessly about random things and has no point to their stories.
I think thats a BABBLER ??

Oops!  Looks like I miss-read bubbler for babbler.  I am so embarrassed.   :-[

My new word for today - found while I was looking for something else in the dictionary -

defenestration - noun - the act of throwing a person or thing out of a window.

Did you know we had a word for that?  I didn't.

How handy. . ..

My younger son kept calling his friends "emo" so I had to ask what it meant.

He says it means an emotional person.

According the the Urban Slang dictionary it means:
Genre of softcore punk music that integrates unenthusiastic melodramatic 17 year olds who dont smile, high pitched overwrought lyrics and inaudible guitar rifts with tight wool sweaters, tighter jeans, itchy scarfs (even in the summer), ripped chucks with favorite bands signature, black square rimmed glasses, and ebony greasy unwashed hair that is required to cover at least 3/5 ths of the face at an angle.

... whatever

Emo around these parts is someone who cuts themselves for attention.

In the teenage slang of today you will find that there are a whole range of people you never knew existed.  Yes there are emo people, but also add preps, skaters, gang bangers, and druggies.   If you care to move further west to the Hawaiian Islands you can add mokes and tittas.

Those are just the ones I can remember from casual conversation around the house.

Would anyone care to add to this?

In London if something is cool and you really like it you say:

"That's SICK man!"

Don't ask me why!
