Give me some local slang!

[CurtSibling]

Is that even English, or is that another language that happens to use words that are also used in English?

That is 100% authentic Glasgow gibberish, wee man!

Here's some more for you to decipher!

It's gauny be an awffy rammy when them yanks get a haud o' that bampot Osama!

 

[Trajan12]

It's going to be awfully (?) when the Americans get their hands on that crackpot Osama.

How'd I do?

You done not too bad!

A 'rammy' is a big fight, or a sound beating.
And 'bampot' is a generally unsavoury character.

[Lord_Iggy]

Hazzabout- Why don't we, how's about.

The 'Horse- My locale.

Wacked- Crazy

Crazy- Interesting

Kwa?- Huh, What?

Sketchy- Worrysome.

Cheechako- Local.

Sourdough- Someone new to the Yukon.

Terrist- Tourist with a southern American accent. We get lots of them.

PB Hunter- (Polar Bear Hunter) Tourist who thinks we have polar bears in the 'Horse.


Some of this is things I and many other people say, though they are not uniquely Yukon.

Some is, however, very unique to the territory.

 

[Margim]

Well, the Aussie language is about 50% slang... some of the more well known ones.

Fair Dinkum - Can be used in several ways.
Are you fair dinkum? = In its question form, is roughly Equivalent to the American 'Are you for real?'
Fair Dinkum! = As a statement, it means 'That's amazing/incredible!' or 'How annoying!' depending on the context.
You gotta be fair-dinkum kidding me! = Here, it serves as a replacement for any number of expletives.

Pom = Our affectionate name for the English, especially when sports are involved. ie 'The poms copped a
shilacking in the Ashes (a two yearly cricket competition between England and Australia)'


Footy = Football, one of any of the four codes we play here (Rugby, League, Soccer and Aussie Rules).

Dunny, loo, **** house = toilet

'built like a brick **** house' = describes a particularly bulked up, solidly built person - often used in reference to a football player.

Here is some more Scots 'patter' (speech)

On the bevvy = Drinking alcohol.

Goin' Spare = Getting stressed out.

Heedcase = A crazy person.

 

[Rheinmetall]

I've got a plenty but it's really hard to translate finnish slang to english.

"Kupilla" "ottaa kuppia" ~ "at the cup" "taking a cup" = he/she is drinking alcohol or is at a bar.

"Perseet olalla" ~ "asses on shoulder" = drunk person.

"Seinän ryöstö" ~ "Robbing the wall" = withdrawing money from ATM.

 

[Adamb0mb]

skeet - ejaculate - from the sound of

ex. I whipped out my richard and it went skeet skeet skeet

 

[Gainy]

mashed = inebriated

You must add the words 'pure' and 'man' to appropriate parts of every sentence you make. Pure being similar to 'rather': I was pure mashed/I was rather mashed.
You must add 'man' to the end of every sentence, otherwise it's a sign of disrespect. I was pure mashed, man.
gee'z a swatch of * , basically meaning give me whatever * is. Could be a drink, a look at whatever you're holding, etc.


ah wiz pure oot eh ma boax man!! ...pure mashed

oot eh ma boax = Out of one's box, inebriated in some fashion.

Randoms:
pish'd = drunk
ah got well pish'd man
boabey = derogatory term meaning PENIS (similar to 'bawbag')
you're a boabey

There's too much slang to cover for Scotland!

 

[CurtSibling]

Indeed - We have invented a whole blasphemy of the English language!

One man's garbage is another man's treasure, but sometimes there are women that all the guys know that you don't date or let your boys date, even though they seem appealing on the surface, as they are insane or carry disease or are even beyond even a drunkin' one night stand. We call them "scrunts".

 

[CaptainF]

Sketch = suspicious, suspect
That guy looks pretty sketch to me

Petered out = tired
I'm all petered out

Bomb = good, awesome (can be used in reference to a female)

[atomicgopher]

From here in Wisconsin

[Ansar]

In Spanish, Hijo de (una?) puta means SOB.

You don't say "una". Also, it's not supposed to sound like three separate words.

Since we natives speak Spanish faster, it sounds like "hijueputa".

 

[IglooDame]

Would "thread necromancy" count as a slang term?

 

[bob bobato]

Most Canadians that I've heard say "NOO-fund-lund;" Newfoundlanders themselves say "NOO-fund-LAND." The "d" in "fund" is very weak, barely noticeable.

"NOO-fund-lund"? In Quebec its 'Nyu-fin-land".

O, right, slang, slang...

dep(aneur) = corner store
metro = subway
eh? = 'what?', or 'ironically acting 'Canadian' '
Couple more, mostly Franglais or Frenglish. And then theres a lot of words that we know, but think of in french. Is different for everyone. For example, I know a 'cahier' is a 'notebook', but I dont think of it as such a silly word as 'note-book'. So unimaginative...

And french is sometimes added in, for no reason in particular (as in, 'demain' for 'tomorrow', even though we think in English).

Oh, oh, oh! And many WASPy terms in UberAnglaisLand have no place here, comme... I can't think of any. But I DO remember thinking, whenever people use them on TV, "people still talk like that?".
