"Hip" phrases to drive my kids wild

In My Humble Opinion
61

If you drive a beat car like I do most of the time, and I’m at a light, next to a nice car, the kids are checking out, I’ll turn to the kids and deadpan, “I think this guy wants to race me.”

As an extension of that, if I’m driving and we hear a burn out, or even a loud audio system, I’ll sit bolt upright and exclaim, “Is he challenging me ?!”

I also like, “He blow’d up”, like when you pull some burnt garlic bread out of the oven.

and a loud, “That’s What I’m Talkin’ 'Bout” at inappropriate times is good too.

62

I’m SOOOO using this one the next time my wife makes me drive her Hyundai!

63

My father-in-law is so hopelessly out of it - he’ll use the expression “Right on!” as a congratulatory exclamation. I’m sure he thinks he’s using the latest keen phrase like all the cool kids.

64

So I should tell my son how much I dig Nickleback?
Problem is, I do actually kind of like them. Ow, stop hitting me!

65

“Square” unfortunately is completely out of date. Don’t be so L7.

66

I don’t have kids, but I like to make the young kids at the office laugh by asking, “What’s the dealio?”

Also, I hold my finger and thumb in an L shape up to my forehead to indicate that someone’s a loser. Sometimes I’m the loser!

67

I often call people reasonably close to me, male or female, “Cookie”. I don’t think they can figure out whether it is offensive or not and I don’t really know myself. I just make up some shit about being sweet if they ask. I is a good way to disarm someone who has just started being aggressive. You have to repeat the name as much as possible however in the conversation.

68

So is L7 the new square? I remember this line (paraphrased) from the Lou Grant TV show:

“I bet they thought I was completely square.”
“You mean straight. No one says square any more.”

69

Cause that’s how I roll should be on a t shirt.
Personally, I cannot stand Duuude unless it is a stoner Duuuuuuuuuuuuude. and flick my 9 year old son every time he uses this atrocity.

Tho, the Dude abides.

So, I’m not coral.* sue me.

Gaywad . I haven’t heard that term in years. I think it has been labeled as so Politically Incorrect and replaced by Douchetastic and other various Douchey-goodness that I cannot use around 9 and 7 year olds. not yet.

*big fan of Spongebob, here.

70

“Douche-tastic?” Holy crap, did somebody here invent that?

I use tons of surfer slang- I can’t help it, it’s what I grew up on. Hubby and I torment his 26 year old step-brother with slang- he pays us back with horrific screen shots when we turn the machines on in the morning! :smiley:

My brother once greeted me with a loud “Wassup, niggah?” when I answered my cell phone. People looked at me funny, what with me being a petite white girl and all.

71

Try Dorkwad, then.

72

Refer to people as “peeps” – their peeps, your peeps. “Yo! One of your peeps is on the phone!”

Accuse them of “bogarting” stuff in the fridge. “Who bogarted the Sunny-D?”

Describe their clothing and/or hair choices as a “hot mess.” “Oh, honey, you just look like a hot mess today, don’t you.”

73

Yo, Yo,Throw some D’s on it!

Everything is better with some Dubs and Spinners…

Another hip thing to do is to call your car a “Blank- Bump”. What you do is take the first letter of the make of your car and add bump after it. So, if you have a Toyota Corrolla, it would be “the C- Bump”.

74

“Spinners” :rolleyes: Everybody knows it’s “spinnaz”. That’s fucking cloud, cuz.

75

But you should only bump your vehicle, if it’s a hoopty.

76

Here’s dap. For an extra bonus, tell the kids that you really like these guys. Also, don’t neglect the power of “diggity dope” and “word to your mother”. The latter would best be used after getting off the phone with your wife, and then looking over at the kid.

Also, extol the virtues of Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer. Don’t forget to throw Snow in there as well. Now that I think of it, a 15 year old isn’t going to know who Snow was…

77

The embarrassing thing is that I frequently use “The Bee’s Knees” in a completely unironic sense, along with “The Dog’s Bollocks”.

“Boo-yah!” works best if you accompany it with a Kung-Fu style one-two air punch, btw. :wink:

78

I also suggest learning the cabbage patch, theHarlem Shake, or the Roger Rabbit and busting them out whenever possible.

Bonus points (I don’t know if we can call them “bonus” anymore, because nobody really wins) if you bust these out when they pull up in a carload of friends and you’re doing yardwork.

79

My own personal favourites are musically-themed:

  • a rock group is never a rock group, it’s a “young people’s beat music combo”, or even better, a “skiffle group”.

  • a male singer is never a singer, he’s a “crooner”.

Boss!
