Lets invent new phrases and slang terms that can be used in everyday conversation, we can all borrow them from each other and use them when talking to non NSrs to make ourselves seem smarter and more original.

My slang term: Parkay - Adjective - Better or Great
Parkay is supposed to be better than Butter (and we can all agree butter is the shiz)
Usage: I think thats Parkay!

Can we use little known slang terms? if so...

Awkward Turtle

When you're in an awkward moment, place your hands on top of each other, and spin your thumbs forward. Thus creating the creature know as awkward turtle.

Inventing idioms from scratch is as awkward as peeing into a toilet bowl with an erection!

That might be too crude...

Oh, I'm going to use that lungry one. I'm not going to pay you any royalties either, so nyah!

I know that some years ago, one of my students brought in a Pikachu doll that said different things when you dropped it. Another student grabbed it from her and started thwacking it, leading to me snapping, "THOMAS! STOP SPANKING YOUR POKEMON IN CLASS"

You can imagine what THAT became a euphemism for in that class.

Indeed I do!

I feel bad now, animal abuse is not something to laugh at.

No Groebling.

There was a college buddy within my circle of friends with the last name of Groebler. I won't tell you his first name because he has enough problems. :p

Anyhoo... he was(and still is) a good friend and he grew to be a reasonably decent person. Back in college however in his late teens and early 20s, he was an epic bullshitter. I'm talking the "I invented crack" level of bullshit. I kid you not, he actually claimed to have invented crack. Well, spreading bullshit of such incredible magnitude that even politicians weep had become forever known to my circle of friends as 'Groebling'. The prohibition of Groebling is common at picnics, parties and other social gatherings and is done with the simple phrase; No Groebling. The penalty for Groebling has varied over the years but in times past has included stun gunning, unexpected groin strikes, tacklings and/or being struck smartly with a wooden or bamboo practice sword.

We call behavior like that Hatching, and the punishment is similar.

Yes...it would appear you have beat me to my term.

Still, I will try to think-up another.

Tounge. Used to substitute for terms which you know that you know but can't quite utter it; a word that can be used to expressions that are deemed "on-the-tip-of-the-tongue".

Example:
Instead of...
"I remember that! You know, the thing John always used to carry around. What is it called again? You know I know it, I just can't quite remember it. It's at the tip of my tongue. What is it again?"

...say...
"I remember that! You know, the thing John always used to carry around... you know, the, the tounge!"

I've been known to use "salmon" as an insult, whether or not anyone understands it is insulting.

i.e. "God, you're such a fucking salmon, sometimes." or "That salesman was slicker than an upstream salmon." It found common usage among my group of friends for a short time, but then quickly fell out of fashion. I still keep it old-school, though. *nod*

My friend and I use the term "piracy" whenever something bad happens to us, such as recieving a pop quiz: "A pop quiz? Piracy!" It also has a longer version: "Arrrrggghhh....piracy!" You can use it anytime something disagreeable happens.

I like the phrase the cat in Get Fuzzy tried to popularize: "Whoops, I feel a little Bucky comin' on." It doesn't really mean anything, but that's part of its charm.

Gotta catch 'em all!

It's interesting how once something becomes an euphemism for something sexual, anything relating to the original meaning of the euphemism also starts sounding dirty. It spreads, in a way.

I'm pretty damned sure I don't know anybody who lives in Pennsylvania so it's pretty fucking righteous that my influence has made it all that way. Do you guys use 'Killer' as well? It can be used in the same sense as both of those two, same with 'Wicked'.

Invented one this winter while shredding. We were riding with these Swedes for a few weeks and on this epic powpow day, one dude went ass over tea kettle and bunged up his knee pretty bad. Couldn't ride with with us the rest of the season so he hung out drinking himself stupid while we went backside hunting for fresh tracks. Anyways, buddy's name was Pontus. So every time something totally rockin' happened be it someone totally eating shit off a cliff or fresh turns in the whiteroom we would all be, "That was totally Pontus!"

Enough of them for you?
