I used to say things like fireplug for fire hydrant and icebox for refrigerator which are more archaisms than slang words. Every so often I say icebox, but it is a slip, not said on purpose. I use idioms sometimes when I write and catchphrase when I talk but only ironically, but that is about it. Catch-22 is a favorite because it was coined in Pennsylvania by Joseph Heller. Catch-22 is like Pennsylvania's own literary slang.

Today I heard some kids describing places as wet. From what I could gather, it means areas that have a lot of drugs. As opposed to dry. I thought it was pretty apt. Also why did this thread die? :(

I like to record music in a drainage pipe so I was obviously smoking ganja down there one day and these high school kids come along because they wanted to practice their tagging. But I remember them asking me if I was "*****ing" because I get dank stuff and the whole town smells when I light up or even pack a bowl. I thought it was a strange, if a tiny bit racist, way to say getting ****ed up. Anyway, they threw up a few juvenile signs on the drainage pipe and I played to them doing just that. They must've thought I was one weird ass *****er. |
