*recoils in abject horror*

As someone that has not had sex in 3 years going on 4, and not because I don't want to, I recoil in abject horror as well.

I mean, it's not a huge deal... I'm not unhappy because of it, it's a small factor in why I'm unhappy, alongside of occupation, location, # of acquaintances, etc.

i've said most of Malaysian in another thread

but this one I haven't mentioned before:-

"fly kite" - deliberately missing an appointment

Mad: We stole this from the Brits. Means crazy. But we usually use it as an exemplary adjective to modify and add exuberance to our statements.
Example: "Dude, I was mad tired. I'm sorry I couldn't come out to the show."

Spunion: Yes, you pronounce it like 'onion' with the 'sp' sound at the beginning. It's someone who's been way spun out (tripping on LSD) far too many times, and is no longer able to exist in society.
Example: "Brah, this spunion on Phish lot tried to get me to lick a toad to get high."

Boufing, it's comes to mind because I'm in the staff room and my diabetic manager is ****ing boufing. His body odour is so stinking I can't eat my lunch. Gr8.

People in philly say "good lookin" in place of thanks or thank you.

At the end of conversations "One" is used in place of goodbye.

It probably is just a shorter version of "One Love" that caught on

I've lived here for five years and I've never heard anyone use those words in that way.

I don't like American slang at all. It makes me cringe.
However, I'm Scottish, so a lot of people won't be too fond at the terms we use.

Two popular one's are;

Aye: Basically an answer to anything in a positive light. Or, 'Aye?' used to question something in the same way as 'Really?' is used.

Orite: I've spelled it in this way, as it's how it is pronounced. In essence, it basically is the word 'alright', but we use it excessively.
Orite could be a substitute for 'hello', as it is the greeting, and 'how have you been getting on' small talk in one handy phrase.
The answer, to the statement 'Orite', is simply to repeat the word. Saying 'orite' back, allows the other person to see you have acknowledged them and are doing just fine.

Aye?
