I had a boyfriend my brothers used to call snap...cause he was crazy about me.

I do not like this idea at all. I've never heard that meaning before in my life...I have heard of jonesin' for something (e.g. love jones). Jone is one of my nicknames--my given name is Joni, and I *hate* being called Joan; but some of my HS friends say Jone and it's okay.

Cookie monster was the first to say it.

did anyone ever say "modey" in the 80s? it meant a cross between weird and gross. i'm trying to bring modeyback.

oh, and "bring ____back" is outdated.

Off the Hook!

I still use "have mercy" even though I don't hear anybody else now say it. Don't know if its an outdated slang, but here're a couple of 'em:

righteous
Daddy-o
banky

grey
piss-ass
floozy
burn a taste
the fuzz

Yeah, I still say that. That and "wicked". I notice when I use them, though. . . at least I'm not ignorant about being a loser.

It just reminds me of high school because I moved from Mpls. to S.F. when I was 16. I hadn't ever heard that term before because Midwestern people don't use it. I got to school there and everyone was saying it along with a bunch of other terms I had never heard.

That, and back then people were saying "moted", as in, "Oh he was SO moted!" (demoted)

Shereen Nanjiani.

Molded

"oooh, he got MOLDED"
