I've heard the word Hardbody, its a New York word that refers to anything thats extreme or tough. For example "Yo son, you saw my jacket? shits madddd ill, hardbody". We use tight to describe how we're upset. "I'm so tight she gave me a D"

That's really far removed from the original Patrick Bateman-style yuppie usage.

Also, I heard the term "chew" used to answer the phone the other day. I think this comes from "chew the fat" but I might be wrong.

during my travels this past summer i found out some of this Australian slang:

a SLAB of beer: the same thing as a case in america

"skull it": the same thing as "chug it" in america

and from my experience living in England (spelling is questionable):

knackered: to be tired

bloody hell: fucking hell

bollocks: i think this is either balls or ass!

wanker: fucker

*giving the peace sign backwards is the same thing as the middle finger in america

*sticking your tongue behind your lower lip and brushin your chin with a forward motion of the back of your hand is a similar insult

spastic: is like calling someone a retard

Pittsburghese... its like a different language. I moved here and I had no idea what anyone was saying. For instance the phrase "Chins gawn dawn tawn to drink n'at" or "Gotta red up four all yins from sliberty get here". I know people who will swear up and down the capital is in Worshington D.C.

what's up with people in seattle saying hella? confused the hell out of me for a good week or so. i kept asking people if theyre from norcal.

I was getting that from a friend of mine last week! She was like "are you from NorCal or something?" every time I said hella.

"hella" is definitely part of seattle slang, not just a california thing. when i first moved to the east coast, cats would give me dirty looks. now, since i've lived here for over 10 years, when i go back to seattle, cats give me looks for using the word "mad" and "word".

I say "mad" and "word" all the time, too! I transcend!
