What’s your favorite slang term from any time in history?

How do you feel about defenestrate?

This is not a post to be tossed aside lightly. It should be yeeted with great force.

Yeah, you yeet something when the place where you want it to be is “not here”.

I like the slang terms for being in really good shape:

Buff
Jacked
Swole
Ripped
Shredded

The dictionary definition of the acronym SNAFU gave me a case of the snickers back in the 1980’s.

Back when I was a kid, the definition I saw in the dictionary for SNAFU was “Situation Normal, All (Fouled) Up”. I think they did the same thing for FUBAR.

I’m not sure if that dictionary had any listing for “fuck” itself. I’ll have to check next time I’m at Mom’s house.

The American Heritage Dictionary in the 1980’s had it as “Situation Normal All Fucked Up”. It inspired me to attempt to introduce USCWAP, “Up Shit Creek Without a Paddle”.

Someone once told me that the definition of an Unabridged Dictionary is they it had “Fuck” defined. :weary_cat:

“ratha!” In brit-speak. Love it.

Egads, in comics always tickled me.
