Creating Slang Terms
« on: October 04, 2009, 09:49:40 pm »

My friends and I have created a rather large amount of slang terms that, when used outside our specific group, go completely misunderstood or unnoticed. We only have about 4 or 5 that are used frequently but I found myslef wondering, "Do other people have terms they use for the sheer fun of having their own slang terms?"

I'll give some examples:

Boo-ya-ko-sha(pronounced "Boo-yah-koh-shaw"): This is a term for a comlpete and all out attack that destroys everything in it's path. I coined this one and it became my catchphrase.

Happy-ass: A term meaning "performing and action with a complete disregard for other people's enjoyment or well-being."Often used while playing Call of Duty 4, when a guy comes around a corner and fires his gun like none of his allies could be there.

Kojillion(pronounced "Koh-jill-yon"): A number so large it is unexpressable in a form humans can understand.

Cheaty-face: A term we borrowed from a Magic: the Gathering card of the same name, meaning a guy who does something that is obviously intended to ruin someone else's fun or exploit a glitch/loophole/bug in a video game/board game/ card game. I coined this one while playing "UFC Unleashed 2009".

Crotch-sploded: A term we use when someone takes an incredibly painful shot to the groin.

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.

"Pulling a Ben": pulling a sudden victory or success out of your ass at an almost alarming rate or frequency. This was coined by my friend after I destroyed him and two other friends in a few games of gears. Named after me.

I was wondering if anybody had any terms they use that most others wouldn't know that they use and would like to share.

BTW- If you would like a better explaination of the words I gave, just ask. I enjoying spreading our lingo around.

Kojillion and douche baggery are very widespread terms.


Amongst my friends, whcih I'm quite sure this word does not hold the same meaning elsewhere, is Pelican shit.

I prefer to make mine sound like obscure technical terms rather than slang, and usualy are abaut either something I invented, such as internal to a game, I also tend to internally use terms I invented myself for some philosophical and psychological concepts.

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

This one isn't even that fake.  There was this vaguely popular song back in the 1960's called "Patches", featuring the line "And then one day, a strong rain came, and washed all the crops away."  My father and his friends (and me as well) loved to append this to anyone's meandering tale of bellyaching; especially good if someone else backs up with harmonica accompaniment.

 In this case, somebodies bad day DID end with rain, and after the person finished bellyaching over dinner I quipped "...And then it started to rain." And for some reason everybody broke out in a fit of giggles. I suppose they are all fans of that song and never let me hear it.

 Also, I really need to learn to play the harmonica just to do that.

I've heard Awkward Turtle here, I think it's from something published.

At my school, we've started using 'Indubitably!' a lot, which isn't really slang but...
