Douch-baggary: The art of being a Douche-bag. I use the word "art" because it takes too much work to be a douche bag to just be one. It takes an intended effort. I coined this one when a friend was being a bit of a Douche-bag to a girl I knew.


Dude...that's been commonplace for as long as "Douchebag" has.

The sad thing is, until I used it, the word didn't exist in my school or community.

Also, I have two more to add to my list.

1) adding a "buddy" to the end of any noun: Used when refering to something that is beneficial to you. Examples: laptop-buddy, soccer-buddy, and the most use amongst us, Kantus-buddy.

2) Pluses: Equivalent of "sweet" or "cool".

Love Tap: Hitting something with the purpose of either repairing it or threatening it.

 Brother: Alright, I need you to hammer this beam into the ground while I hold it in place.
 Me: I'll give it a love-tap.
 At this point the brother sprints away as I swing a sledgehammer onto the wooden beam like a Norse god and smite it in twain.

 This is generally done with with much too much force necessary for the task.

Captain Fantastic - Derogatory term for someone who has (accidentally or unwittingly) done something detrimental.

(After someone trips over the wrong barrel in a game and blows up half of his team) "Way to go, Captain Fantastic"


H-Bomb - Surprise Hentai pornography (this includes all the various types of Japanese-style drawn pornography).

It's possible.  I really just don't have that much slang to go on.  I avoid using the same word for something several times in a row, so the only stuff that sticks is whatever game-slang there happens to be for a particular title.  Like "Shambies" or "Sheep" for the shamblers in Zombie Master, or "Zeds" for infected enemies in the NOTD maps in Warcraft III.

Captain Fantastic is the only thing that comes to mind which applies to multiple things, real life included.  I probably just remembered H-Bomb from somewhere so I'd have something else to supply.

Fair enough.  Not sure if I have any invented slang, although my group of friends does have a few injokes and memes.  One of them relates to eyebrows.  Not sure if I can post it here without lowering the tone of the thread.

Sounds a bit like "percussive maintenance".

Personally I really like that the term "segway" emerged, and what it means. This probably was the death sentence for the company, and quite frankly, its about time  ;D
