what's new to your vocabulary?

[befsquire]

my new word this week is dingy. it's like being catty and bitchy all at once. you know, the thing you think in your head that you know is kinda mean that you shouldn't say out loud, but everyone else is thinking it because it's true, and so you say it. that's being dingy.

and i could be spelling it wrong. it could be dingey.

[jabumbo]

i started saying 'bubbler' instead of water fountain just to make fun of my friend from wisconsin?

[TurdBerglar]

dingy means dirty damp and musty

[Deep_Sea_Rain]

As in "When I snorted my dad's ashes they were very musty"

[hitmonlee]

dingy means dirty damp and musty

yeah

bef did you make it up?

[Lo_Lyfe]

Sea-Pies. I've been writing them on the grocery list since 2004. They don't exist.

[Lo_Lyfe]

Plarps.

[na§tee]

my new word this week is dingy.
ahahah! no way. it is a very highland term here, but it means a totally different thing. you say it with a soft 'g', like a dinghy you float in. dingy with a hard 'g' is indeed damp and musty and yuck.

sort of like being stood up, or rejected. like if someone stays at home instead of going to the cinema, you can say "oh, paul totally dingied me last night :(" it's cool. i use it all the time! especially on the internets.

[mikizee]

i use the word 'cripes!' alot.

[Waus]

I started saying "Jimminy" recently.


It's nerdy, but it's a conscious nerdiness.

[trailerprincess]

I've been saying 'crapola' a lot but maybe that's just indicative of how crapola things are these days.

[skra75]

I say "sweet mother" alot.
and "for christs sake".
I swear I'm a 75 year old nursing home dude reincarnated.

[abcdefz]

I still think it's weird that I learned the word "moot" from a Rick Springfield song.

[camo]

I've been using the word 'sweet' a lot as a postive descriptive.

"Nice kicks mate, those are sweet"

[skra75]

In reference to shoes, I say:

"minty"
"well dipped"
"fresh" (old yes who effing cares)

or, if they are wack:

"dusty"
"baloney"
"crusty"
"skippy"
"craps"
"sketchers"

[MC Moot]

Everyone around here is tossing out "absolutley" as of late.....it's driving me mad,it's spread like virus.....so little in life being absolute but it's stuck in everyones dialogue......

[camo]

"baloney"


(y) :D

[kll]

"crumb" or "crumbs" instead of asshole, fucker or other derogatory names...

"stop being a crumb!"
or
"what have you crumbs been up to today?"

[abcdefz]

"crumb" or "crumbs" instead of asshole, fucker or other derogatory names...

"stop being a crumb!"
or
"what have you crumbs been up to today?"


That sounds a little like Holden Caulfield.

[kll]

I haven't read 'Catcher' in many moons, so I suppose it could've been lodged in the recesses of my mind...

[Lex Diamonds]

I've been hanging out more with my friend who says "steez" all the time and it's kinda rubbing off on me. :(

[abcdefz]

"Steez"? :confused:

[Lex Diamonds]

It's hip-hop/skater speak for "style" but it can also just mean cool. (y)

[abcdefz]

Yeah, I can see why you'd resist adding that to your arsenal. :D

[Lex Diamonds]

You know my steez.

[abcdefz]

Not in the Biblical sense.

[Dorothy Wood]

"ah dang"

"nice!"

"that's hot" (trying hard to make this one go away, it started as a joke, but just stuck) :(

I've been saying "jerks" a lot more than usual too. hmm.

"beedup beedup"

"haggard"

[wanton wench]

jib

[MC Moot]

mercy

not in like a "haha i'm a badass, i don't know what mercy is" kind of way, i just mean i've been saying "oh, mercy" in response to something particularly funny.

i think principal skinner does it on the simpsons, i probably stole it from him.

[Caribou]

I was thinking more Uncle Jesse from Full House. :cool:

[befsquire]

yeah

bef did you make it up?
yes, the real word does mean dirty, damp and musty. but sometimes, shit gets flipped and becomes something totally different. i did not make it up. a friend of mine at work said it to another who said it to me, and so we've been using it as a group. i don't know where she got it. another thing we say, here and there, we picked up from our clients.

to describe a long period of time, long being relative to the situation, we say "in a minute." i don't use it at home yet. but, for example, i haven't seen a former trial partner in a long time, so i would say that i haven't seen her in a minute.

here and there, i remember that i'm trying to bring back old stuff, like asking if someone can do me a solid instead of asking if they can do me a favor. i tried bringing "choice" back, but that didn't work.

and i say "that's hot" too. my friend from work and i both started using it once paris seemed like she was about to stop saying it. once she quits saying "that's sexy," we'll probably start using it.

[cosmo105]

[milleson]

Instead of saying "Jesus Christ!" I have switched to "Cheese and Rice!"

Such as "Cheese and rice, that test was fuckin' hard!"

[zippo]

i seem to substitute "dudey" instead of "dude" for many years now

[befsquire]
