Knowing how everyone speaks differently, i decided to make a thread to see how it differs from the way I or anyone else speaks. Whats your slang? Or what word(s) is commenly used in your neck of the woods.

For example: where I'm from the northern part of New Jersey and when someone dislikes someone.
Instead of saying-"I don't like him"
We might say-"I dont feel him too tuff"

Post up your slang or sayings, lets get a couple laughs here :wink:
 
i visit [SIZE=-1]Cincinnati, OH once in a while and "please" is used a little oddly.

if someone can't hear you speak they say... "Please?"
instead of "Can you please speak up?" or "Can you please repeat that?"

It was hard to catch on because there's no hand gesture or body language of cupping their hand to their ear...

Eyea - Hello - Eye as in your eyes on your face.. with an 'a' on the end
Alrite? - Hello
Tara - Bye
Sallong - Bye
Oi mush: The way Swansea chavs say hello to each other, or alrite mush?
Chuffed - Happy, 'I'm well chuffed'
Landed - Happy
You're like Thomas the Match.. - Something people say in my town if they like to play with fire, like kids at a BBQ playing with the fire.. was an old man who lit fires all the time up the mountain.. he was my uncle too lol
Ummin - Smelling
Buzzin - Smelling
Boggin - Disgusting..

There's probably a lot more.. but I can't think of any.
 
Bloody hell there's loads round here.

-We have the 'made up' one like DRMARIO said, I've never really thought it was a funny saying though
-'Eyea', 'alrite', 'tara' or just 'tra', and 'chuffed' like Rach said
-'Later/laterz/slater/slaterz' = see you later/bye
-'In a bit/in a bite' = see you in a little while/bye
-'Sly/Ahlass' ["Ahh-lahh-s"] = harsh
-'Togga' = football [soccer]
-'Mooch/'ave off' = steal
-Quite a few on here haven't really understood this one: 'Arsed' = bothered, e.g. can't be arsed = can't be bothered, I'm not arsed = I'm not bothered
-Calling someone a 'shark/snake' = implying they are sneaky
-'Talent' = good looking girls
-'Scouting' = looking for 'talent'
-'Scouted' = found some 'talent'
-'Blue nose' = pathetic :p

That'll do for now.
 
Lol, I say can't be arsed a lot!

Also, for skipping class we use:

- Mitchin
- Mungin
- On the bunk
 
I think it's an English thing as a lot of the Americans don't get it. We have bunking as well for skipping class.

-To 'jib' = to forget about/leave something
 
Hahah, here a jib is a funny face, if you're pulling a jib, your pulling a funny face!
 
Wow, some of these are *terrific* :D

Let's see, these are some Southern (US) and some PA/Pittsburgian:


Ya'll - You All / All of You

"Do ya'll want to go to the beach?"

Fixin' - About to do / Preparing to do

"I'm fixin' to clean up this room"

Yinz/Yins - You all/ All of You (Pitt)

An at - [and that] and other misc/ sundry activities, used as a suffix

don - [down], as in traveling to a location, sometimes don ere'

All three put together in an amazing bit of colloquial PA:

"Yins going don ere' to see the Steelers an at?"

The Wifey© is hilarious when she turns on the Pittsburgese since normally she has zero accent.

Hahaha, Lewi, never fear, we have a word for everything. Bunking is called sagging, or skiving if you want to seem posh!
