I come bearing UMLAUTS! Note the name =)...my homies thought umlauts was an STD when I started doing this...nevermind.

Kewl, where I come from, only the nerdish use...naturally I use it all I can.. *evilgrin*. Have we mentioned the piteous expression of "Sucked Ass" yet? I can't believe we use the same language as twonks that say things like "suck ass". It's just wrong in so many ways.

Left Coast is the west coast, so named not because of geographical, but political considerations. politically, liberalism is considered "left" and conservatism on the right, with moderates being located in the middle. all the hippies at Berkeley gave the rest of the coast a bad name, but it has stuck. so if you hear of a "leftist" movement, you can be pretty sure they want to give universal welfare and hug trees and stuff. i don't think i've ever heard the term "rightist," though

Just press ALT+(three numbers) and you'll get all sorts of whacky symbols..ALT+139 gives you ï, ALT+137=ë, ALT+142=Ä, and so on..

I got the word "twonk" from a friend on a chat line .. I don't know where she's from, but it's comparable to idiot or loser *G*


Yo! Sucks big time

RhymeMe

"Yo!" (greeting, attention-getter) and you gotta love the expression "Sucks big time" (that's unfair, unfortunate), as in "What a bummer" (depressing), which leads to "Ah, sh*t happens" (that's life). So when you're next in Philly, you can follow the following conversation,

"Yo! What's happenin'?"
"My woman left me."
"That sucks big time"
"It totally blows"
"Yea, man. What a bummer."
"Ah, sh*t happens."

twonk is another UK word. Usually means - mild idiot or goofy. More of a childhood insult than a bad word or something highly insulting.

*G* Thank you for the definition o helpful one =). For some reason everyone who's heard me use 'twonk' is absolutely convinced it's some horrible swearword they don't know about..

Isn't 'pea-hat' the way you pronounce that symbol used in statistics that consists of a p with a ^ over it? I forget what the symbol means, but I seem to recall its being in The Cartoon Guide to Statistics.

My friends and I also use a lot of slang terms in a tongue-in-cheek fashion. It's one of our ways of joking around. I have a friend who, in response to 'Whattup, G' will say 'Not much, H."
