I thought hot-boxing was smoking in an enclosed space with no ventilation.
Came in late on this
I think this might be an Italian thing. I never heard it or said it as a kid, but many years ago a friend, who is a real New York Italian type got me saying it. I still use it today every once in a while. It’s a very satisfying descriptor 
I remember all of these, but I always thought Bogart was ‘bogard’.
Parlayin’, hahaa! Remember ‘lampin’'?
And ‘butter’. Ah, memories. Also, ‘bad’. Not bad meaning bad but bad meaning good.
I think it is interesting which slangs turn into ‘timeless classics’ for me, as opposed to 'played out, never use anymore. For instance, I would never use ‘butter’ unironically now, but I would still say, “Bet” to agree with someone.
Neighbour indeed. My early years were in Thunder bay, when I was 8 we moved to Longlac for a few years. (And spent every other weekend in TB because for one, my parents didn’t want to do any banking at the local bank, because they didn’t want their financial particulars broadcast around town. In Longlac I was in the one channel universe. After that we were back in Thunder Bay, but those years following we would travel west on 11 and 17 spent time in the summer with my dad camping around the western parts of the province. So I know all those areas pretty well.
“Bogue”-as in not cool, bad, not right. “That’s so bogue, dude. You promised me you wouldn’t wear your Pumps today.”
That’s the way I always heard it also. Ahem…heard it that is..not that I …
That would make sense. I grew up in Rhode Island, where about every other person is Italian, it seems. “Fongool” was another widely used term among adolescents of every ethnicity.
“Wicked Pissuh”-a term meaning great. Of South Boston origen, seems to have disappeared.:mad:
Chunky-- Fat. “Man, that girl is chunky!”
Aside, but I gotta throw this in: one memorable junior high class, we had a nasty little troll for a substitute, the kind who comes in the door pissed off and just gets angrier. He was trying to tell us to write our names last-first on the quiz and after the third or fourth, “Chee, I don’ get it” he yelled, “It’s simple. If your name is Joe Blow, you write it…”
I can testify that 30 kids CAN lift a schoolroom ceiling if they laugh hard enough.
This would be short for Bogus, yes?
Back in high school (L. A., late fifties) to challenge some one to a fist fight was to choose him off.
Speaking of violent students, does anyone remember"penny stomps"?
I haven’t heard ‘dead set’ in decades.
My contribution: ‘mighty’. “Did you see the game between St George and Souths? It was mighty.” ( Sydney, Australia late '50s/early '60s)
I would assume so. In my day (early 80s) there were many variants - “hogus” (bad), “stogus” (worse), “stogatious” (worst).
For me, “stogie” always refers to a cigar, although not a specific type of cigar. Apparently the term comes from the Conestoga Valley of Pennsylvania (Lancaster County and environs)
Apparently this comes from Humphrey Bogart’s practice in movies of holding onto a cigarette for a long time without doing anything with it.
From early grade school: (warning, offensive term coming - I’m just reporting the facts)
During recess a kid would sometimes tackle another kid then yell “nigger pile” as an invitation for everyone else to literally pile onto the tackled kid. When chastised about that term we changed it to “Soo pile” (phonetic spelling - could it have meant Sioux? was it “soup pile”? who decided the new term anyways?)
^we played smear the queer
When I was about 10 (1983) a dork was also called a “doornhopper.” I have no idea where on earth that word came from, I just remember it.
We used “pig pile”… and not because we were PC: The original version of “eeny meeny miny mo” was still in circulation in my neighborhood back then.
This was often accompanied by slapping the heel of your hand into the “stunad’s” forehead and saying “Ay stunad! Atzamatta you, eh!”
