Be the Nostradamus of catch phrases

You probably didn’t mean it this way at all, but did you happen to read Boojums All the Way Through? One of the funniest damn things I ever read. But then I’m a total quarkhead.

That’s too fresh. (I.e., the phrase was used in the theme song to “Fresh Prince of Bel Air”.)

I suggest ‘holy" to replace "awesome’: That’s just holy!
and “air conditioned” top replace “cool”: Those shoes are air conditioned!

Swimming in your pants

“Dude, I’m totally swimming in my pants over here.”
I’m not sure what it could mean, mind you.

Tsk tsk. Those ideas are so greedy. Why doncha just coogie on out of this thread?

(Yes, these too were resurrected. Greed, man!)

Can I nominate “pita” as in “pain in the ass”?

Usage: Goddamn that guy is a pita!!! What a jerk!

I like the acronym, but to do the British bit, maybe moving one step beyond and going for “gyro” might be an alternative to consider.

Maybe they won’t be all catchphrases exactly, but I have strong visions (auditions?) of the following slang coming into use next year:

jihadi - any asshole or person with an anger management problem. “Man my new boss is a total jihadi.”

camp - taken from MMORPG’s - to hold a grudge against/torture. “I forgot my wife’s birthday and she was *camping * me for weeks.”

**premillenial ** - any out of date technology, anything obsolete or out of fashion. "Did you see that shirt he shirt he was wearing? So premillenial. "

fundosphere - the set of all fundamentalists/religious zealots worldwide.

empty clip - anyone with attitude who can’t back it up. A loser.

I love them all,uglybeech. Truly hoppy! I’ll start right away.

I like the word fundosphere because it’s really fun to say. “Oh man! Will you listen to this shit? What’d you do, pull that outta the fundosphere?”

But technically, camping is just kinda loitering in one spot. Corpse camping is griefing.

Come to think of it, griefing is a kinda cool word, and fun to say as well.

Don’t go all rutabaga on me, plank.

She’s titanium-plated to her socks.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

Yah griefing works pretty well too - you’re right. It works better because you don’t have to be a gamer to figure out what it means.

I think I’m going to contest your definition of camping. In eq anyway camping means (most of the time) to camp a mob (target). To hunt something in a fixed location. Basically to kill then wait for the mob to reappear and kill it again. Rinse and repeat. To camp a corpse means to do that with a player in pvp (player vs. player). Which is a type of griefing, but there are other forms of griefing too. Griefing just means any activity designed to make gameplay unpleasant for someone else.

Ninja, please!

A friend of mine in high school used “Tits” as an adjective. Like, “Man that was so tits!” It never caught on, though.
