I like you. you’re smart, your funny, you dont pull punches.
me and you would have a great conversation face to face. We’d have a lot to talk about.
How I talk in real life is very different to how I post on the boards. I could use a lot of different slang that I use each and every day, but the vast majority of the people reading it would have no idea as to what the hell I’m talking about.
Would it be possible for you to tone down how you type? I know that it is a big part of your self expression, but it would greatly help you to get your point across if more people could actually understand what you say
As to your OP, is this a thread of slang used by Dopers individually so that other dopers know what you are talking about if you use it in a post?
“5 large.”
Fine I can handle that but what are the other demoninational slang terms.?
My kid brother needs a monkey and I know he’s not asking me for a chimp.
Whats a ton , a weight , etc. etc.
Im only guessing at these terms but the next time im in a carpark shifting hot tv’s out of my hip camero this foo’ needs to be clued up on whats what and where it’s at wit the jive talk.
God that’s a shameful and pathetic attempt at sounding patronisingly hip. Someone just post a list please.
Maybe you can start a thread like Esprix, “Ask the Jive Talkin’ Guy”(or is that lady?). I know I’m not qualified. If I hear someone talking about an outtie, I think they’re talking about heir belly button.
I am unsure whether these questions are serious, given the tone of this thread, but here are some answers, anyway:
A score is £20
A pony is £25
A ton is £100
A monkey is £500
A grand is £1,000
A weight varies as follows:
one pound of marijuana or hashish one ounce of heroin*
These are terms used in the UK and they may vary in the US.
Excellent! Thanks guys. now I know that I need to tell my brother what he can do with his monkey.
I like that Henry the 8th bit.
Never again will I embarrass myself by asking for quantaties of narcotics in the wrong fashion.
“I say sir can you spare me 250mg of that thar stuff you have”
While we’re not being taken to task for this particular hijak perhaps I can have some more enlightment.
(Gianluca Vialla or Boutros boutros ghali) what the ? how the ?

You certainly can my good fellow. Both rhyme with charlie, the common UK name for Jazz talc. Personally I prefer “Fleetwood” as in Fleetwood Mac = Gak (another slang term)
I think the “Fleetwood” reference is more towards Mick Fleetwood, Stevie Nicks et. al Legendary consumption of Bolivian marching powder, than just a rhyme with gak.
Well over lunch I was trying to visualize a ‘Hip-hop head’ just oozing coolness and hippness, actually say the word ‘ouddie’. Sounds more like something my 7 year old neice would say. Not being hip, which is pretty evident, does a wannabe cool hipster Hip Hop head really say that slang term, or did dalovindj just find an old website.
I learned it from a Sublime song, 1990 I think it was released. My mother was very big on propor pronunciation, so I had to learn most of my slang on the street or from songs.
Icefalcon:
You’re nailin’ it. Props.
TwistofFate:
Yes. Most definately. Not just me. Slang can be a fun and interesting way to communicate, but it’s alot more fun when people get it. So you and everyone should post slang terms you wish to use here.
Definately:
Amadan- Irish for idiot.
Juniper200:
I use plain old english all the time. But sometimes I like to give the words a little flavor. You really sweat that? Sometimes people ask me what I mean so I started this thread. Don’t get it? Ask (or look in this thread). Don’t want to get it? Then don’t ask. And if you don’t like it, when you see the title “dalovindj” next to a post, don’t read it.
kellibelli:
Incorrect. It is intended to be a lexicon of slang used by dopers. I, a doper, post the slang I use. A couple others have added now too. I invite all who use words in ways other than found in dictionarys to elaborate up in THIS bitch.
Syzygy
Flare. Style. Fun. Apply which ever you like. They all fit.
I didn’t do this, I got it from here. Here is the Hip Manual. Don’t say I never gave ya nothin’:
[Tons o’stuff deleted. NOT hip to copy wholesale from someone else’s website and put it on this one, it’s rude and probably a copyright violation. Don’t do this again.
Your humble TubaDiva, who was hip before it was hip to be hep]
