Now, read along. Words for "acquire"

[Killbat]

My commonly used, positively-toned words you won't find in any dictionary:

gank - to take or acquire, especially to steal
score - to acquire by honest means

And yours?

 

[chipbgt]

yoink
theres another one thats a common last name but of course I cant think of it right now.

 

[chipbgt]

..bogart.

 

[BA]

I just use gank.

AFAIK, bogart has a rather limited, well-defined scope...

Eazy E has a song called "no more questions"

Lyrics:

Reporter: "So, what is it when you so called 'gank someone'"

Eazy E: [Rapping with a beat]

Waitin', for some people to leave

I've got another trick up my sleeve

Step with pep to the back of the house, looked in, all the lights are out.

some stuff

Eazily made my way to the window

Once inside, I start takin

Cause ya know there's no time for shakin

Get what ya gonna get front and center

Or get 5 years for break-in and enter

Move quickly, but no runnin

Shhhhhhh, I think somebody's comin'

Hear the front door key, and I flee

Out the back with a fist full of jewelry

over the wall, don't fall

wipe my sweat cause that was a close call

gettin ganked by the 'E is lesson

so, is there anymore questions (said to the reporter)

 

[TomC25]

Oh yeah,

INHERIT is my word for the day

 

[Mrs AntiSocial Virge]

Liberate. As in "I just liberated the last doughnut." Sounds a lot better than stole, snatched, etc. doesn't it?

 

[mpitts]

gaffled - synonymous with gank.. but rarely used..
