plab - Defines something interesting or amusing. A 70’s haircut is plab, an 80’s haircut is plab. Mullets are also plab. A friend buying you a drink is plab. This word derived from my two friends who in 4th grade would turn the cable box to right inbetween channel 18 and 19 so they could watch the Playboy Channel. Plab was the code word they used in public(i.e. at the dinner table with parents present.)
Related words: Plab ass, Muey plab, plabratory, P-lab. cakes - Upset, pissed-off. Derived from the term “baby cakes”. A friend’s older brother would taunt him by calling him “baby cakes”, which was shortened to cakes. “You are {b]so** cakes!”
wobble v. - all purpose verb of action. My man uses this a lot. If I ask what he’s been up to at work, he usually replies “Wobbling”.
churble v. - to waffle on, to talk without purpose or point.
pip! int. - All purpose interjection. Can express extreme displeasure.
lobster vt. - to fail an exam, to perform badly. I completely lobstered Paper Three of my History and Philosoophy of Science finals.
haddock vt. - when playing table football, to get the ball where none of the little men can reach it. The table must then be tilted to get the ball back in play. Named after a man called Haddock.

beer slut
This is what my roommate would call girls in college who stopped by our dorm room, drank all of our beer, then moved on to the next male dorm room to drink their beer.
EeeeeEEEEEEErrrrrrrrrrrdickdickdickDICK
Done in a high pitched voice while gritting your voice. An expression made after being screwed over by someone: So. My professor gave me an “F” on the exam. And I looked at the paper and said EeeeeEEEEEEErrrrrrrrrrrdickdickdickDICK!!!
New Wave Fahag
In college, this how we would describe punk rockers.
icehole
Asshole.
grandcats
My wife and I refer to our three cats as this whenever our parent bugs us about having kids.
yule
Just a stupid expression, as in Ted Baxter in Caddyshack . . . Yule! Ya-ule!!! Ya-uuuule suh, are no gentleman!!!
Beethovenn: A small glass of some beverage. Derived from a Peanuts Sunday strip. Lucy sees unknown girl leaning on Schroder’s piano.
Lucy: If you’re going to hang around here, you have to like Beethoven.
Girl: All right, but I’ll just have a small glass.
Mr. Rilch: Can I have a Beethoven of grapefruit juice?
Calvinsdadv: To ramble pointlessly about the way things were when you were young, or how deplorable things are now, or both. In Calvin and Hobbes, Calvin’s dad often pontificates about unnecessary choices in the supermarket, the cheesy cartoons Calvin stares at by the hour, or the beauty of wooden escalators.
Calvin: I wonder if someday all my childhood memories will become stories with no point.
Mr. Rilch: Will you shut up about the ice cream you used to get at Shea Stadium? It was ice milk and it was crap!
Me: I don’t care; it’s a fond memory from my childhood, and I’m going to Calvinsdad about it until I find a substitute!
Javier milen: The journey you take when the directions you were given were sketchy at best. Years ago, Mr. Rilch and I kept running into the same location manager, name of Javier. He was great at finding usable locations and negotiating permits, but crummy at giving directions. His maps inevitably read “Exit freeway at ____ and go about a mile.” “About a mile” could mean five miles, or it could mean as far as the first traffic light.
Me: Did you find the office?
Mr. Rilch: Yes, but I had to go a Javier mile to find it. You didn’t tell me that first intersection had a No Left Turn sign.
Rilchiam, those are great! I’m seriously thinking of adopting Calvinsdad myself. Unfortunately, I’m the most likely person in my house to go off on such a rant, but what the hey…
I was reminded this morning by Mrs. Dave-guy that we also use the word starvulated, which is a heightened form of being hungry. It’s especially descriptive of the way the cat acts in the morning when you’re trying to put off feeding her. But you can’t because she’s underfoot, meowing and acting starvulated.
My brother-in-law also came up with exhausterated, which is, as it sounds, a heightened form of being tired, especially after one of those days at work (usually a Tuesday).
CBA - Cute Boy Alert (variant: YCBA, when we’re in cradle-robbing mode) MSR - Massive Skirt Ride-up (you know, when you’re holding a bag in such a way it makes your skirt ride up your arse) PSS - Primal Scream Syndrome. This one’s kind of complicated. Years ago we saw a Primal Scream video and one of the band members looked quite fetching in it, but when we saw him in real life he turned out to be hideous. So PSS is what we say when we discover that someone isn’t actually as attractive as we’d thought they were.
Trog (n) 1. Abbrev: Totally Reliable On the Government. 2. An individual of the fraternity of persons known as the Trogs of Minot, a colloquial beer-drinking and socializing group. 3. (v) To Trog: To socialize and hang out, usu. in front of a home or garage facilitating the socialization of Trogs.
It’s sorta along the syntax of “fuck”. Lotsa variations, and lotsa uses. But, it all refers back to the group of good friends. We even have membership cards!
Here are a few that my friends and I came up with, although I wish I had the ability to offer sound bites; they would make more sense.
Like this one: Ou-da-la-wa-waang: Spoken real fast, but with still distinctive syllables. Means way cool. Origin unknown.
Buum-bee-dee buum-bee-dee: Full phrase is “buum-bee-dee buum-bee-dee Hey! Hey! Hey!” in a rhythmic fashion. Fun term for the sexual act. Presumably used sotto voce when pointing a woman one wants to buum-bee-dee with. Again, origin unknown.
hippodomia is the state of helpless laughter, especially when it appears among friends. Also considered a state of nirvana.
“hottieburn”
Among the YRUU(Young Religious Unitarian Universalists) circles I know of, this is comonly known as the phuuf. Two soft f’s, and the vowel in food. Phuufing is a serious activity among veteran youth conference go’ers, and the term easily lends itself to modifications, as in “aerial phuuf”, “Tang™ phuuf”, and the generic “condiment phuuf”.
The Tang™ phuuf uses powdered Tang™, obviously. Liquid Tang™ would just me messy.
mmmm… Tang™.
The British sitcom “Last of The Summer Wine” has a minor character named Jack Harry Teasdale who owns a large-by-
British-standards “caravan”(camping trailer, in Americanese).
Jack Harry can’t back this thing to save his life.
Whenever the wife and I see someone having difficulties with a trailer or a self-propelled RV, we refer to that person as a “Jack Harry”.
I have tons of these but here are some that I can remeber off the top of my head:
From the tech world:
hourglass: When you ask someone a question or make a statement to them and they just stare at you dumbly for what seems like eternity before speaking. He’s giving me the hourglass. OR He’s hourglassing on me.
Microsoft Time: A period of time that is longer than what was originally stated or expected. From the XX seconds remaining timers in Windows that are never, ever accurate. He told me he’d be back in 15 minutes. I guess he was using Microsoft Time.
Bean sprout. It describes a person who has changed their entire personality due to falling in love. “We used to hang out with Rick all the time, until he became a bean sprout.”
let’s see…we use: prolly - probably s’pose - suppose, from a particular professor’s blackboard shorthand s’okay - it’s okay
double contractions (like wouldn’t’ve and I’d’ve) - well, I think they should be allowed… soonly - used much like “soon”…but it has nuances. And sounds better. “I’ll be over soonly, I just need to find shoes.” topologically equivalent - used to dismiss typing backwards brackets or parens… “eh, they’re topologically equivalent.” fuzzy - refers specifically to an LL Bean fleece jacket/pullover. “I really love my red one, but I think I need to get a new fuzzy.”
** Magsish (also, Magsesque, Magslike): ** After a girl in our high school class who we referred to as Mags. Refers to pretentious, boring crap, and also to vapid pseudointellectual college academicspeak, as this girl was an expert in both.
** Fucklick: ** A general epithet, usually aimed towards nasty professors and stupid drivers on road trips.
** BJ :** A dorm on campus. Also, something none of us get enough of.
** Cinemads: ** Film studies majors. (roughly based on MST3k’s the Mads)
