Alright, I was thinking lately, and I decided that words like “cool,” “sweet,” and even the eternally beautiful “neato!” have started to become overused in modern society. Naturally, since I have too much free time on my hands, I have come to the conclusion that this must be remedied. So, what better group of people to turn to than the Dopers! C’mon, if we put our collective minds to it, I’m pretty sure that we can come up with some real zingers, and, by power of sheer numbers, force them into modern, everyday use. I cast my vote for “all shades of freaky.” (Hey, how was the party? Oh, it was all shades of freaky.) Your turn! ---

How about “Buck Hegge” (pronounced Hedg-ie), as in “I went Buck Hegge on his ass.” Buck Hegge’s the name of a local funeral parlor owner, and my friends and I have always used his name in the above context. ---

At the risk of sounding trite or possibly suck-uppy - how about two new words meaning either “great” or “funny” “Wally” and “M7” “Did you see that new hit comedy movie yet?” “Oh, yeah, it was soooo ‘Wally’. Totally ‘M7’.” ---

My wife and I use Boubacar Aw. It’s the name of a former Georgetown basketball player. Phonetically, it is Boo-buh-car Ow. We use it in situations where other people might use Booyah, sweet, or yahoo. I tend to say the Boubacar and my wife follows with a drawn out Awwwww. Remind me and I’ll tell you how we use Janni Ninnima. ---

I remember when the word “Trippy” was used quite extensively in California when I was there in the 80’s. One surfer-type guy had described one wave as… “Totally **Tripendicular** Dude” ---

Okay, my friends developed a strategy for this. Just combine a bunch of cheezy-sounding syllables. “Fantabulicious!” “Funkadelic!” I liked “Buck Hegge”. Very nice. ---

“Hip deep in guts” - is that supposed to be a _good_ thing? I’ve noticed the latest trend in rap names seems to be “Li’l.” Dr. Mayo (I’ve decided to elevate him from mere “Mister”) and I have been adding it to names just to amuse ourselves. It could also work quite nicely as an intensifier; “li’l” meaning the opposite, on the analogy of “stupid” and “phat.” “Man - that was li’l cool!” **Mullinator** , I love “Boubacar Aw.” Who is Janni Ninnima? ---

> [@](#): > > “Hip deep in guts” - is that supposed to be a good thing? This phrase is used to denote sex. “She’s fine. I could go hip deep into her guts!” (Yes, it’s politically incorrect.) ---

> [@](#): > > This phrase is used to denote sex Well, yeah, **Chief** , I got the gist - you navy lads tend to have, shall we say, one-track minds. I mean, I believe you’ve even been known to mount a toilet! I don’t care about political incorrectness - it just doesn’t sound terribly appetizing. But that’s only my visceral response. Don’t mind me, it’s merely spleen on my part. ---
