Some time back my skinny, pastey, 40 something, lilly white, Michigan protestant,rural raised, Burt Bacharach listening Boss came out of his Yuppie Power meeting and proclaimed:

"Word, G! Homie was trippin on the ice we're grippin, Loc.
Gangsta Dawg sniffs the paper for another episode. This
dealio is the shizzle dizzle, YO!"

I know he's my Boss and everything, but I didn't have a problem saying, "Pat.........Don't Do That!! I felt myself hurl a little bit........G."

The word "Cool" seems cool when anyone says it. Classic Hip Hop
Artists are the ONLY ones over 30 who can get away with urban slang.

Being Californian and 39, I grew up on the cusp of "gnarly & epic" and occasionally catch myself still saying those words.................rarely ever say "Dude".

Do we sound like idiots even when we use "the slang of our own time"?

Hahahahaha...I hope so, add in cultural differences, and pass the parcel takes on a whole new concept..

Im trying to teach my 15 year old son how to say "Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous" like eddie murphy did in that movie.........
he asks why.......I say so you can be cooooooooool like me!!!!

He thinks Im insane!!!

that sounds like "pooping a cardboard box" to me.

'Totally sick', 'fair dink', 'stone the crows', 'Holy snapping duck sh*t',

that's just 'sick and wrong'.

I forgot, 'strewth, mate"

I see what you mean my "cultural/regional".

I'm "keen" on most of those, except "Stoning the Crows" and "strewth"

'Flat out like a lizard drinking'

True blue, dinky di, ridgy didge

All means the same thing...fair dinkum, real and true


Ava go yah mug! Good onyer! Cutting sick.

I dont think we speak english...

I have an assistant helping me, and am near peeing...we dont speak english!!

"fair suck of the sav"- sav is a saveloy, a hot dog. - it means, share, it's someelse's turn

"fit as a mallee bull"

"Gonna take a butchers hook at something" - hangover of cockney rhyming slang.

Frog and toad - road

Rubbidy dub- pub

Tosser! - idiot.

I have to stop I can't see, am laighing so hard!

HUH????

The regional thing is a "HOOT"....you had me laughing so hard Jess

Picture the urban drug dealer who has imbibed one too many of his own narcotics trying to make a drugdeal with the suburban white boys. "what it be. What it was. What u need? Whoo dat in the back seat? That aint the po po in da back seat? This sure is a fine automobeeeel! This automobeeeel is way too nice for you white boys!" "yeh homie? Your welfare check wouldn't fill the gas tank on this pumped punked sho be whip caddy."

OMG!!!!! too funny

I think it goes by age to...when ever I say some of the "beasty" things my sons say..they yell at me and say I'm to old to talk like that ...like gawd !thats so not fair!

I'm picking up what you're laying down dude

Don't be pickin up what I been layin down, because I probably dropped it.

I'm so far from "cool" these days, I can barely see the "L".

Be warm than dude...

eh I still say dude

Slang should be left to the experts!
