I've been looking at urbandictionary.com and thinking about a couple of conversations I have had in the last week and was wondering, are there any slang words or phrases that you use in your every day life?


Here are some that I overuse

1. Mad:
Most predominantly used in the greater New York area, "mad" is an appropriate replacement for Northern California's "hella" and Boston's "wicked." In the common vernacular, it translates into "a lot" or "extremely." Can be used almost interchangeably with any of the above listed words.

For the most part, it means angry.

It's mad hot today.
She has mad problems.

2. Yo:

1) A contraction of the possessive adjective "your."
2) An informal address or title to one whose name is not known to another; can be used as an interrogative address.
3)A declarative or imperative exclamation, whether alone or within a sentence.

1) How's yo momma?
2) Hey, yo! What's up, yo?
3) Yo! What the hell do you think you are doing?! Yo, just do your job! YO!

3. nahmsayin:

"Know What I'm Saying?"

I was at the movies, nahmsayin

4. Brick:

Very cold.







What about you?

It's so weird when people use it at the end of an ultra-simple sentence like that. "Yes, of course I know what you are saying. You just told me that you were at the movies.".

How could I forget this one?

That's how I roll :

What someone would say to insinuate that it was their style, or that it was the way they usually do things.


And also

Der:

usually said when you already knew what one person is talking about or totally obvious. also said in place of "duh!", "no shit!", "really (note the sarcasim)?" or "well, no kidding!"

Hater/Hating

A person that simply cannot be happy for another person's success. So rather than be happy they make a point of exposing a flaw in that person.

Hating, the result of being a hater, is not exactly jealousy. The hater doesnt really want to be the person he or she hates, rather the hater wants to knock somelse down a notch.

Susan: You know, Kevin from accounting is doing very well. He just bought a house in a very nice part of town.

Jane (hater): If he is doing so well why does he drive that '89 Taurus?



I use the word hater a lot.

Dont be a Hater!!

retina said:

I know, but I can't even say anything because I know that I do that myself.

Here's one for Karma

Right on:

1. A positive response.
2. "Yeah, whatever."

1. You passed your class? Right on!
2. Person1: Wanna go to Denny's?
Person2: Right on.

If I had a penny for every time my kids used the word "like" without meaning "as if", I could pay for their hoped-for Ivy League educations.

3. nahmsayin:

"Know What I'm Saying?"

I was at the movies, nahmsayin


My oldest brother always uses this saying to be funny.

ThreadCula said:

I use that one too. I'm not a hater!

"Ya 'erd may?" ...translated as "you heard me?"

"Yo, dat's boolshit!!" ....translated as "I don't agree!"

"Boy, you got MAD squabbles" ..."you have issues"


how could I forget.....yao ming??

I rarely use any kind of slang. And when I do it's usually meant to be ironic. I just have to be careful about using certain words or phrases too much as they'll creep into other conversation where I wouldn't normally use it and then I feel silly.

"Boy, you got MAD squabbles" ..."you have issues"

I like that one!

just stereotypical californian stuff, i guess. except i'm very concious of trying not to say 'like' all the time. i used to say epic a lot, but i've cut back on that too.

My daughter uses "killed it" a lot



1. When someone says or does soemthing to destroy the current flow of rich interaction.

2. When someone ruins a joke or a moment.

3. Ruined something

Yeah, those little language abusers shouldn't go around using grammatical atrocities such as "I like ice cream".

evenstar said:

What's that?

Yeah, I tend to use a lot of New York slang and I can't stop myself. It just slips out during conversations
