"that's the bomb!"
"oh hells yeah"
"true dat"
"cool beans"
"phat"
"jiggy"
"hecka" or "hella" (I can't help saying it because i'm from the Bay Area--though I can't think of how i would survive without this word. How else am I suppose to say "a lot of" without saying "a lot of" ?


These just aren't aging well to me. Or is it when slang gets adopted by square older people (fellow co-workers saying "you go girl"), or gets overly used by young white teenage girls, that it needs to get dropped fairly quickly.



Slang that's still ok by me:
"i ain't mad at that"
"neat!"
"my bad"
"weaksauce"
"sweet" but NOT "schweeet"
"fresh" "rad" "ill" "sick" "dope" (i'm so so on "tight")
"what it do" (although i haven't heard it used in the real world, I would love to hear it so that i can respond, "it iz what it iz"

If they can say it, I can say it. Any other way would be racism.

OP, You went to High School in the mid/late 90s, didn't you?

PS. I miss late 80s surfer talk like:

"dude!"
"radical!"
"wicked!"
"gnarly!"
"tubular!"

Oh, and being from the "Yay Area," I get exposed to a fairly large amount of slang day to day. Even so, I'm beginning to fall behind. The other day, I heard a kid say he was wearing "stunna shadez in his scrapper," and I had no idea what that meant.

I guess the transition from being the hip teenager to the square old fart is a gradual one.

I hate "my bad." because it's a sorry excuse for "I'm sorry" and lacks the same message.

I am so fricking tired of "bling". Barbara Walters used it to describe the Queen's Crown Jewels in that special last week.

Yeah, really.

he was saying he had on nice sun glasses in his older car with big rims. The rims scrape around corners sometimes because you're really not supposed to put 22" on a 83 Buick so it leads to problems with scraping.

The Bay Area is home to some of the craziest slang out there, I laugh when I hear the kids up there talk. The best was the whistle things they were putting on their car tail pipes up there a few years ago. I could only imagine how annoying that was, can't even imaging how bad it had to be for the people actually in the car!

the YAY area lol.

I say cool beans, which is probably the whitest slang word outside of straight down south people saying fixin to as a replacement for "going to"

hella is a good word. I use that too, so it sort of evens out my whiteness when I say cool beans.

"Debo" because I know it's just a retarded version of "Repo" (repossess) that got popular in the movie "Friday."

Just don't forget that they usually are prefixed with "totally"
