I haven’t really heard any new slang since “bling bling”. What slang words are kids using today? Please include their definitions for us old folks.
That site is awesome. Much better than the explanations of slang words are the obviously false ones, such as the etymology of “fo’ shizzle my nizzle” as an Old English phrase “To the Catapults!”
It’s like the entire internet is playing Baldurdash.
My students seem enamoured of the word “pimp.” They use it in a variet of ways, such as, “he’s a pimp,” “that’s so pimped,” and “pimpin’ it up.” I’m not sure they understand the commercial underpinings of the word, but it’s definitely popular.
Some terminology I’ve (a 19 year old American guy, if that’s relevant) been using recently includes [ul]
[li]Good Crikey - General purpose exclamation[/li][li]Hooligan - in place of miscreant[/li][li]Don’t take any wooden nickels - parting advice[/li][li]Shite - instead of “Shit”[/li][li]Shenanigans - the goings on[/ul][/li]
Probably some others, but that’s all off the top of my head.
The kids are talking British English these days? Blimey!
That sounds like kids today are using slang so old that it’s new again – those terms existed when I was new, but we thought they were obsolete then.
Always recycle.
According to urbandictionary, “shite” is common in the British Isles. When was it first used here to the States? In 1998 or '99 I saw a billboard that said “shine happens” and that gave me the idea to say “shite”. Then I see it being used on these message boards. Is it possible I’d been exposed to it already and forgot?
“shite” is very much a British word, used in Scotland almost 100% instead of “shit”.
Also used a lot in the north of England as well I believe, Newcastle is one place that springs to mind.
My friends 13 year old (Scottish) uses the word “mint” a lot for something that is good and if a video game is difficult it is “solid”.
Is groovy still in style? 
Bangin’ ?
My fifth graders like the word “tight” a lot. I think “tight” is the new “cool”.
Sick and gross are both pretty common for young teenagers. They mean “cool” and “cooler”, respectively.
Fab.
Nearly everything is fab, lately. I rather like it.
“Gross” means “cool”? Geez, now I know how my parents felt with the advent of the new “bad”…
[slight hijack] There’s a current Best Buy commercial where a consumer daydreams back to about 1985, and they use the word “mint” to describe something. Heh. [/slight hijack]
Re: “Shite”
Probably. Have you seen “The Commitments”? That’s where I first heard it…that was made 10 or so years ago, IIRC. I also seem to recall U2 saying it with their Irish accents.
FTR, I never thought of it as a word of it’s own…I just figured that’s how the characters in the movie said “shit” through their very thick accents. From that, I figured Americans doing it were simply “speaking the accent” if that makes any sense.
Tight isn’t really new, I’m 18 and was first exposed to that word in the third grade, around ten years ago.
I’ll contribute some when I have more time, but most of the words here are not exactly “cutting edge” (I’m being nice. 
)
Ender_Will’s post cracked me up! And then the discussion of it as though these are actually current slang terms! Oh man, that’s mint!
To mean “cool or good”:
hot
money
dope (making a comeback here)
golden or gold
Does anyone know what the kids mean when they say a hot minute/second? As in, “Hey, let me see that for a hot second.”
“hot”, in my circle, is kind of edging out “cool”.
If something is “mad ____”, as in “Mad cold,” “mad hungry,” etc, it’s very cold, very hungry, etc.
I’m hearing Golden more as well.
I’ve heard ‘fuzzed’ for drunk and/or stoned, but not that much.
One of my personal faves is rocking/rocks/etc. “Dude, I just got this new shirt at Village Thrift, and it rocks.” The phrase “rocks my socks” is a guilty pleasure of mine.
