Favourite bits of slang

[iff_and_xor]

Any bits of slang that are dated/regional/obscure that you wish were more widely used?

Any new slang that you learned recently?

Any fun bits of slang that you just especially enjoy?

Re: Favourite bits of slang

Idk if it is really considered 'slang' but since moving south I have really enjoyed adding "y'all" into my regular vocabulary. It's such a handy non-gendered term for any number of people!

Re: Favourite bits of slang

[iff_and_xor]

Yes! A flexible plural form of "you" is so useful. I wish English had some less culturally-marked options. People definitely look at me oddly if I try to use "y'all" or "youse".

When I was a kid I was obsessed with fake curse words like 'dagnabbit' and 'tarnation'. I still love using them around kids.

Re: Favourite bits of slang

I think I learned "tarnation" as a child from a book on tall tales from the American West and I definitely tried to find ways of using it for a while.

There are quite a lot of words in the venerable Dictionary of the Vulgar tongue that deserve resurrecting, like "knickknackatory" (toy shop), "cacatorium" (bathroom), or "bellytimber" (hearty meat-and-potatoes-type food, though it could be vegetarian as long as it's nice and filling).

Oooh, those are great words! I miss following lexicographer Susie Dent on Twitter. She always had wonderful forgotten gems.

"Eyup our kid!"

A very useful all-purpose greeting.

Re: Favourite bits of slang

[iff_and_xor]

Ah, a good one, but not one I know that well...Generally northern and affectionate, yeah?

Re: Favourite bits of slang

That's right! Also its close cousin, "Eyup orright?" Much in little.
