These terms have sure brought back memories!
But what about the slang terms that have made a comeback?

Like: Wack

Here in New York, people are running that word into the ground!

"The shoes she wore were wack!"
"You're not coming to the stepshow? Man, you are wack!"
"He called but I didn't want to talk to his wack a$$."
"The professor gave us this wack exam last week."

bumpin'

Dis (I'm glad I don't hear anybody here in NYC use this word anymore.)

That's all I could think of that hasn't been said. :D

Since you seem to be a fellow New Yorker I'm sure you'll appreciate these:

- Word is bond
-dolow (sp?) pronounced dough-low
-sun or dun (referring to another male)

Girl you are killin' me! I can remember using those terms more than a few times and I still say "wack". Most of the southern slang goes over my head because I usually have no idea what in the world they are talking about!

This thread is too funny!

I remember back in high school me and my friends used to say:
"S.L.A.P.P"
which means "Sounds Like A Personal Problem"

we were so "whack":D
Some other ones where

"You get a 'rub' " (that is when guys would slap the back of another guys head..especially when they had a fresh haircut)
"Like Whoa!"
"Sippin on that Sizzurp"
"As if!"

I've heard this term before and in the context that they used it in, it meant that they were intoxicated or tipsy. I'm not sure if this completely correct so if I'm wrong someone please correct me. :)

KAPPAtivating 03-15-2006 02:54 AM

"slizzard" does mean to be tipsy or drunk. Here in the south we used to say, "You got me bent" (mixed up or "you don't know me)! We also used to say "M.B." or "emboosticated" (means embarrassed).

Some others:

Fly
Dope
Tight
Outtie 5000
5.0
One Love

lmao@home slice/skillet and gimmie some skin. I sincerely forgot about those. I almost cried laughing. Here's one that is making a comeback in a ghetto way.

Old school - What's Happening?
New school - Wuz Ha-na-nin?

buggin or illin
hangin

dats da lick

peace, love, and hair grease
outtie 5000

DST4A00 03-25-2006 10:31 PM

I recently read an article that said the word cool has been in use as slang since the early 1900s. I think it's here to stay.

remember:

lunchin'
trippin'
buggin'


ya'll said old school but do people around you use popped? the young folks round here use it all the time.

DSTinguished1 03-25-2006 11:29 PM

We would end phrases with "...than a mug"

For example:

I'm hotter than a mug
I'm hungry than a mug
She blacker than a mug
I'm broke like a mug

Salty
That's ill
Grimey
