Cheezit!
Hmmmm… a wise guy, eh? (pinch nose of interlocutor)
Where’s the beef?
Horsefeathers.
Derleth,
you’re wrong about swingers, it was an original peice of cinema. Truly inventive; art in it’s most pure form. If you don’t get how much a part of the movie pop culture satire was, you have no business criticizing it.
booyah,

Another vote for bitchin’
I’ve always been partial to Deez Nuts
as in:
Wack Fool: “Thurgood, pick up your dirty clothes.”
Thurgood: “Pick up DEEZ NUTS!”
or
Thurgood: “Do you know Phil?”
Sucka MC: “Phil who?”
Thurgood: “Phil DEEZ NUTS!”
I heard it more like
“hey what are you getting me for christmas?”
“CD’s”
“Cd’s?”
“yep, c-deez nuts”
I think that I am going to start saying colloquialism all the time . . .
It’s so cool . . .
fuckin’ A! has always been a favourite of mine.
My little brother has taken to saying ‘bo’. As in ‘bo, don’t do that. I hit you bo, for true.’ That’s what he said to me last night, anyway. Aparantly that extra letter in ‘bro’ is just to difficult for his little mind…
I try to use the phrase “rockin’” at least twice a day.
example:
“Can you help me with this?”
“Yup”
“Rockin’”
“Rock on” also pops up quite a bit
A mildly un-related comment:
I’m also trying to introduce “wicked” to the west coast, as in:
“That’s wicked cool.”
And
“Can you help me with this wicked hard math problem?”
“Yup”
“Rockin’”

I also like to post everything twice. D’oh!!:smack:

These are words/phrases that I use in everyday conversation, and you should too:
the bee’s knees
the big cheese
this is the big one, my favourite that everyone remembers as “my” word - spiffy (often just shortened to say, for example, ‘that’s pretty spiff’)
bitchin’
fuckin’ a
jeezum crow
hep cat (heh heh)
nifty
These aren’t that old but even so:
-WHO LET THE DOGS OUT!
-WASSSSSUPPPPPPPPP!!!
-(Even though this hasn’t gone out of style everywhere) Yo’ mama!
According to my sister, in her school at least, “bad” meaning good has returned.
At my urging, she attempted to reinstate my favorite elementary phrase, “stole your cookie,” but it failed to take off.
Flag on the play
for both Wasuup and for
who let the dogs out (the “don’t worry, be happy” of this generation)
Funny story about Wasuuuup! I worked at a psych hospital and we had a kid who was saying that at least 6 months before those commercials.
No! Anything but wicked! I just came back from Maine- they are the kings of Wicked!
I don’t have anything to add to this, but concerning the OP:
In the intro for ER, when Eriq LaSalle was on, it showed him dropping to the floor in a *triumphant sort of pose.
And what was he saying as he did it? Boo-yah! (Although there’s no audio in the intro.)
*It’s from the pilot. He had just saved an AAA patient that all the other doctors told him, “He’s OK. Just send him home. He has a follow-up appointment next week.” None of the doctors wanted to see the patient, but Benton was convinced his aneurysm was about to rupture. Once he started cutting, and word got out, other doctors then joined him, to which he said, “Suddenly I have all the help I need.”
I’ve always been a fan of “skeezer”. It’s much less harsh than bitch or slut.
I really would like to hear people using the term “tits up” more often.
Boss: “Bob, your project has really gone tits up.”
Bob: “I thank you for your honest opinion.”
Boss: “Of course this means you have been sacked [another term that shoudl come back].”
Bob: “So my career is tits up too!”
By the way, I was told when visiting the Czech Republic that the hip greeting was “Ahoy!”
I just couldn’t use it in that land-locked country.
I too would appreciate the return of “huzzah.” Unfortunately I think huzzah has gone tits up.
In “the blues brothers” Elwood referred to Jake as a sleaze I thought that was pretty good
