h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Punk rockers tend to have their own vocabulary when it comes to slang. It's not something that can really be recorded because very often the words come out of nowhere. I have heard of a slut being referred to as the Wal-Mart Special, and a bitch as a Catshit. To this day I twitch slightly when I think about it. There are a few words that need to be mentioned though...

Punk: sort of a term for cool. Can be used as a measurement of character, such as, "Man, he's not worth it. He's definatly not punk enough for you."

Punkass: the very extreme of cool. "That Rancid concert was punkass, man!"

Johnny Quest: used in "Johnny Quest thinks you're a..." Words such as sellout, dumbass, or shithead can be inserted. In general "Johnny Quest" is a roundabout way of saying "I".

Mosh: very often the quality of a party, concert, ect. is put in terms of how much one moshed. Such as "Aw, man, I moshed all night." or "Never go to one of her parties. There's no moshing at all." Pretty much means "had a good time."

Snoochie-Boochies: From the movie Mallrats (and Clerks... and Chasing Amy). First employed by the immortal Sweet Jay. There's really no one definition of the word. When used at random intervals in conversation it has the effect of making whoever you're talking to feel that there's some elaborate inside joke you're referring to that they're clueless on. Very effective when used with aging parents. There are also infinate forms of the word, such as Snoobums, Snooch, and Snoochie-Boochie-Noochies.

in my experiance, moshing is done in a mosh pit.

kickass: really cool

Moshing: beating the tobacco juice out of each other and callin' it dancing =)

Generally moshing IS done in a mosh pit .. guess who's feeling facetious today..?
