Slang

I could write a thesis on how amusing I think a lot of the hip hop generated American slang is, and I almost started it.

Instead, I'll just relate one of my personal favorites that a friend of mine spouted once.

We were standing outside, waiting for a bus. My buddy saw a gentleman dressed in a particular manner and noted the following:

"Fools be sleeping on Frankensteins' style"

Of course, I had no inkling what this meant, and it made me chuckle. He then pointed the person in question out, who was wearing black boots, corduroy pants and a turtleneck. Then he explained:

"What I'm saying is, the guy is dressing like Frankenstein, but if you asked him he'd deny that was where the inspiration came from. Hence, he's sleeping on his style."

Food for though, I suppose.

Skint: This word means to have no money.

See ya later: This does not mean 'I'll see you later today' but 'I'll see you sometime later in our lives', which could be anything from six hours to six years.

Hear these ones quite often. The other ones would baffle me if I heard them!

Straight from Boston...

"Wicked" as in "wicked good" or "wicked bad"

"The food at the Shack is wicked bad. Don't eat there."


Where's Az? Those Australians have ALL kinda of crazy slang...

Dialect influences alot here in little Denmark.

Southern Judland actually has alot of phrases, that the rest of the country does not have. Most likely due to german influences.

Other than that, you've got a whole bunch of slang, that doesn't really make sense.

Steneren ("Stony") = Boring
Svedigt ("Sweaty") = Cool
Tåger ("Fog, used in the way of a person. Fogger?") = Someone who's kind of in his own little world.
Kolbøttefabrik ("somersault-factory") = Mental hospital
Brændt ("Burnt") = Affected by drugs
Skæv ("Crooked/skewed") = High

Turkish, Iranian and Arabish has also affected the danish language. With 8% of the population being from these countries, you actually hear danish people using arabic words as slang.

I'd love to see that thesis.
