"Our thing"
No that topic has nothing to do with the fact that I'm watching the Godfather on AMC. Well maybe it does. Anyway, what are some of the little "sayings" or things your chapter says that no one else understands? Even after lo these many years, my sisters and I still say:
2.5 - a very small amount. "Don't leave for the Crow house yet, I'll be ready in 2.5 seconds." random - out of nowhere, not easily identifiable. "Where did that random beer come from?" multitudinous - very large. I think this originally came from Family Ties. "I have a multitudinous collection of letters." |
Random is one of my favorite words. I use it all the time, and have turned everyone on to it.
"Sketchy"--definitely New England slang. Basically used to define someone or something who is less than legitimate. "Shady"--same thing. |

yeah, we use "random", "shady", "sketchy", and also, instead of 2.5 seconds, we say "2.2 seconds"....
one i used to say that kind of caught on w/ my sisters and some of my friends.. i would say "whatev" instead of whatever... it's kinda catchy. i also say "bunk".. like, "that is a bunch of bunk".. as in BS, or crap. i got it from my grandfather... haha. and i say "roll in deep" when i am going to a party w/ and bunch of sisters. i can't think of anymore right now, but if i do, i will post again. agd love, tatianna ------------------ it's hard being a princess...AGD |
We used random too.
Baked -- as in "I'm so baked." ie: fried, stoned, whatever "Remember MAPS." Sorry guys--this means Men Are Pigs. ha ha Hmmm that's all I remember right now. I'm old. LOL |
One right now that refers to my situation:
Remember your GC! GC means Girl Code which is one of the funniest books, but also has alot of good rules such as ONCE A GIRL 'CLAIMS' A GUY, ALL OF HER FRIENDS HAVE TO KEEP OFF OF HIM EVEN IF THEY LIKE HIM TOO!

My girls always say "Not so much". If we dont agree with something, if we dont like something, anything negative, we use our phraze.

At our house we use...
shady...same as everyone else like, "some shady shit went down last night at the party" random...anyone who is not a Greek, like "oh she was just some random she is not a XYZ" a stranger...any beer that is just sitting around rolled on...when any large number of things arrives at the house, such as "we just got rolled on by a bunch of XYZ (meaning the sorority girls have arrived at the party) or if another fraternity comes to fight, we got rolled on by XYZ" |
In my chapter we started using the saying milf for hot older ladies, which evolved into "Now thats a tall glass of milf" or "I sure could go for a tall glass of milf" or "Boys round up some cookies Im gonna go drink some milf"..........Other things we tend to say that no one understands is something one of our brothers from North Louisiana brought with him....When ever he refers to anyone he always says "You know old boy over there" Old boy can be anything from a girl to a bottle of coke....So when we refer to something no one knows about its Old boy....Next to the old car, who has an old dad....You know taht old boy...The girls around us also use Random but to refer to guys they hooked up with that there friends dont know...So if you ask who is that girl dating they will say well she hooked up with some random the other night......Or to that effect, The girls also say they are Haunt when they are imbarressed(not sure about spelling)which is an old cajun word..but all the girls in wto sororities use it....We also use the word Swoll alot....Normally to refer to other guys that are huge and have big muscles, But it has turned into a joke...Like when someonecomes up who is short but built we say whats up half swoll, or a guy who isnt built at all would be anti swoll....But by far the funniest thing is when a girl has on really short cootchie cutter shorts...We generally start saying things about feeding cats cause It looks like she is eating her shorts and not with her mouth.....So I usually start in witha nice meow, and then later.......I want chicken I want liver Meow Mix Meow Mix please deliver.............

Jank. (pronounced ja-ank). Hot beer is jank. Men in speedos is jank. People from Ohio invading our great southern state and driving slow in the left lane while I politely try to shove a 4000 pound Chevy truck as far up there tailpipe as I can is jank.
|
To refer to anything, we use the word godd@%n, like "Hey, give me the gd" or "could you please pass the gd" or "I'm going to the gd, anyone want to come with?" This comes from my big bro's big bro, maybe even farther back than that.
random - There is one guy in the house that says the most random stuff, so anyone says something out of the blue, someone will inevitably yeall out "RANDOM!!!" and then someone else usually says "timmah!!!!" Also, when you want to say random, as in "I just grabbed a random plate" instead, you say "I just Codied a plate" Cody is the name of the random dude. ------------------ Steve Corbin Lambda Chi Alpha Theta Kappa Chapter Rose-Hulman Inst. of Tech. |
wtf...as in what the f@*k!!!
random....as in "what happened last night was so random!" or, "we hung out with some randoms last night" SCORE!...this our phrase for when something exciting or goos happens to someone...guess its left over from my cheerleading days! |

Yeah 33girl, we had the, "I'll be ready in .2 ok?" Like it ever happened.
Our other one was when we'd be out and one of our sisters was looking at/interested/ beer goggling a guy that wasn't what she should be doing, we'd just walk up and say "Home Depot". It had to do with this one night we went to a lame bar, and my one sister walked in and said, "Welcome to Home Depot, this place is full of tools!" |

Yeah, you can't forget that. I never used wicked or sketchy until I came to school in Boston. One our chapter has come up with: "Eat a bag..." Kinda telling someone to screw off. |
Sketched - the Charleston version of sketchy; usually used as "that kid is sketched out."
Hard core - this is starting to go out of use, but it is used to add extra emphasis, as in "that kid is HARD CORE sketched out!" As far as slang restricted to my sorority, we always talk about "Sweet Home Eta Lambda." We are the Eta Lambda chapter, so the Lynyrd Skynyrd song "Sweet Home Alabama" is our chapter song. We sing, "Sweet home eta lambda, where the skies are so blue, and the Zetas true!" We also use the word "scandalous" a lot, as in "Those girls in XYZ sorority are scandalous!" |
We use the words sketchy and shady too, but i think out most unique one is Waffle House.
If you see one of you sisters being stalked by a guy at a party or wherever and she looks like she needs your help, you go up and tell her your leaving for the Waffle House, or ask her if she wants to go to the waffle house. Funny thing is there is a waffle house within like a 30 mile radius of us. But it works everytime http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/smile.gif |

Two of our sisters started the "Why you Jealous?" Its used for anything like I wake up, looking beautiful as ever, and see one of them and say "Why you jealous I look so good? Youre just jealous!" Also used as in: Look at that girl, shes just jealous cos shes not a Phi Sig! Its universal. We also use scandalous! Another is one my friend made up when I visited her at Clarion during my Sr year of HS... "My love for you is like Bizzorikork!" Bizzorikork is just a random word used for anything.

Alpha Chi Girl, when discussing Yankee slang, how could you EVER forget WICKED????
As in "that guy was wicked sketchy..." although its mostly a MA thing and you go to school in RI.... |
"Frump" (i.e. I can't go out looking all frumpy like this)
"Pasty troll" (i.e. that pasty troll was hitting on my boyfriend!) "TastyCake" (i.e. Did you see Sigma Chi's fall pledges? TastyCakes, every one of them!) "N.V.D.Z." (i.e. a sister is not acting in a ladylike fashion in public so someone would go up to her and remind her that she is being Not Very Delta Zeta-like) "Pull a Heather" (i.e. Heather was a new member who got depledged after appearing in Playboy. The pledge mom would remind her charges that they always needed to remember to represent the sorority in a good light, to not pull a Heather.) |
Hmm ...
We use "Powdonk" as hillbilies. I think that's an Iowan slang, so that's not original. Also, we use "SCORE" while tallying one on the air, meaning we're "scoring" someone (if you know what I mean) The original one is "the ROMANS", refering people from dorms. As we're Greek community here, "the Romans" community always try to compete Greeks in everything - homecoming, VEISHEA (ISU celebration) etc, but usually end up with losing tournaments or cancelling skit or whatever ... too bad for all of us, I guess. |
We have a few things
Jesus - When my pledge class was pledging, there was a giant jesus statue in the basement, and one of the brothers made comments sarcastically asking if Jesus said it was ok (50% of our chapter is Jewish). Therfore whenever one of us did something stupid, one of us will say "Did JESUS say you could..." Don't Be that Guy - Stolen from a scene out of PCU, said to someone who is ruining the good time or who is making us do something we don't want to. |
In my chapter we use the phrase jam all of the time, as in, "I can't believe I messed up. What a jam!" or "Jam Job!" when someone messes up a lot.
Another one that we use a lot is adding "Yeah!" to the beginning of every phrase. Like "Yeah Greekchat" |
We always say "Money", a term used instead of cool or sweet. We also say Late instead of later, it is meant to say goodbye. A lot of girls use the term Johnny for that time of the month, I have no idea where it comes from.
|
We joke to our pledges that they are "becoming a Pi Phi" when they start to pick up these phrases:
1. Pretty sure As in "Pretty sure I need to get to the gym after that dinner" 2. I feel as though... As in "I feel as though I need to study all night to not fail this class." 3. Don't think that... As in "Don't think that she didn't hook up with that weird guy last night (She did)" 4. Woot Woot When we get excited we just say "woot woot, woot woot" in a monotone manner. 5. Shady "That is some shady sh*t" 6. PS " Oh yeah and PS: our calc final is next wed. ..could we be anymore screwed?" 7. The chandler "Could you be, could we be..." "Could she be anymore obnoxious?" 8. Obese " I am feeling rather obese today." 9. Guido-a sleezy type male. 10. MMmmm...not so much. This has the most flexible usage. Basically a sign of disapproval. It can be a response to someone's question: "Did you make it to the gym yesterday?" -"Mmmm, not so much). Or if a guido guy walks by and smiles at you. You turn to the girls, put yourfinger up to your lips and say "Mmmm...not so much." Just a few :) |
Hmmm...I never thought of this before! But there is a lot of stuff.
When I first joined, we used to call each other "peench" all the time. Also lots of things were followed with "pretty girls": "Come on pretty girls, let's go" or "Smile pretty girls". We also call each other "hooch" in the most loving way...it's funny! "SOOOOO": "I SOOOO kicked butt on that test" or "I SOOOO do not have any money in my account" "I KNOOOOOOW!": DZ#1: "There were no close parking spots and I had to park all the way over at Wendy's." DZ#2 "Oh, I KNOOOOOWWW! They should SOOOOO build a parking garage here!" We also call the girls in the chapter who share first names by their last name... |

Haha..totally hear you on that one. Oh yes, I forgot: Get excited! As in "Get excited Pi Phi!" we aaaaalways say that..it's like some sarcastic, self mockery thing. |

"freakin" also popular, as well as Chandlerisms (Matthew Perry is Canadian you know, eh) "yeah" - as in "yeah...guess we should be headenr' " and some of the good saying from the old sod of Britain- "Bloody hell", "f%&$? me!", "sod off" and of course, "eh" - (Oxford Dictionary (Can ed.) definition) - ascertaining the comprehension, continued interest, agreement, etc. of person or persons addressed . As in "it's way out in the boonies, eh, so I can't get there on bike" or "nice ass, eh":D |
"Janky" - This is an such an AGD word! We originally got it from the Delts but we "stole" it and say it all the time!
"Bite My Bootie" - Substitute for Kiss My... "Grody" - Just straight up nasty "Gam Time" - (or AGD Time) a.k.a. 15 minutes late "Shady" - Pretty common word I guess "Stylin" - Used sarcastically; a.k.a "you are not wearing that" "Overshare" - too much information "With a Spoon" - This is my term, not my chapter's term. If a guy is cute, he's "yummy"...if he's very good looking, he's "yummy with a spoon"...and if he's incredibly HOT, he's just "with a spoon" ;) |
Words my brothers and I have used in the past,
Stoked random sketchy kid wood = I pulled some major wood(I did really well.) Theres some variations on that too. But the word has never been used in a bad way. helmutt = a guy who is really gunho and jock type. I was known as king helmut in my chapter. when I was a pledge I was a junior helmut. helmutina = a girl who is really gunho and has a jock attitude. A LOTTTTTT = Just a saying one of my brothers has. beaver. "that girl is beaver" tool = the guy is a looser hottie = hot lady |
Word's popular at my house
Tool - loser or asshole, if a guy is a big loser or asshole than he's a toolbag...this goes all the way up to toolbox and toolshed. "That guy" as in you don't (or in some cases do) want to be "that guy" varies on the situation. Weak - something that isn't cool, or a waste of time, and overall negative assessment of the situation. Sausage Fest - a party with few girls. (I've heard it been called a brotherhood event...) Big Cups - tupperware bowls, this started at a celebration after the Notre Dame-Nebraska game when for one reason or another a bowl of tupperware got pulled out and used as a communal cup. You take "hits" off the big cup. The Ziti Handshake - scratching your genitals, came from the tendency of one house on campus to be constantly scratching themselves...and I mean CONSTANLY. So if you catch someone scratching themselves we will occasionally say "is there a ziti here?" or "you thinking of joining ziti?" |
We had a few......there was the nose code.....if we were going into a party or whatever and wanted to find out if our nose was clear and booger-free (I know it's gross) we'd ask, "How's the weather?" And if the answer was "Sunny" or "Not a cloud in the sky" you knew it was ok. "Partly cloudy" or "storms coming" meant get out your kleenex!!!!!
Something really nice and classy was "Swank" Another big one was "F*ck me broadside!!!!" (an expression of dismay) I forgot some You can be hungry, or if you are really starving, you are fungry....which means f-ing hungry. The "Chi Omega Bob"......just what it sounds like. For a while there we all seemed to have the same little bob hairdo... Peroxide Poisoning/blonde.......if someone was being really stupid, they were being blonde. If they were being chronically "blonde" you'd say something like "you going to the doctor about that peroxide poisoning?" "On the porch".....stemmed from someone screwing up the whole big dogs and the porch thing. ON the porch meant you were really cool, which is actually the opposite of what it originally meant of course. Norman......meant a psycho, as in Norman Bates |
Some of the phrases that we've used before are "sick nasty" or "dirty", the funniest is lately we've been saying something is "dirty style" or "dirty gypsy style" when you've got screwed at something, usually video games!
|
We definitely make up our own adjectives to describe people who are sketchy or shady! I would tell you but then we couldn't use them in public without people knowing we were totally making fun of them!!
More Phrases We Love: *Strugglin': As in not cute, not looking their best. "I am SO strugglin' in this morning, I woke up an hour late!" or "That guy asked me out but I passed - he was struggling!!" *Hard Core: Big time, to a large degree. "Omigosh, he is struggling HARD CORE tonight...he looks like he's been backed over by a train!" or "We're going out hard core this weekend." *That Girl: Changes to fit the situation but usually a hard core shacker. "I haven't seen Katy in two weeks - she's definitely become That Girl!!" or "Don't be That Girl, hon! Ditch him and come out with US tonight!!" *Fun Times, Good Times: Like the SNL radio ladies, said very sarcastically and in a monotone or fake voice. "We had a four hour chapter meeting last night - it was good times." or "Yep, I'll be in the library 'til at least two studying for Biochem tomorrow. It'll be fun times, good times!" *Preebs: Hard to explain! Just read the examples. "He asked me why I was angry and I said 'Preebs! If you had called me last night maybe you would've figured it out on your own!" or "I don't know who told her she was Miss America, but PREEBS, she is definitely not...." *Definitely: Used as a form of emphasis on silly things. "I am DEFINITELY in need of some time on the treadmill." or "I am DEFINITELY all about watching some Felicity tonight." These may not be as funny written out; it's all about the delivery! |
Basically! As in close enough or almost. "Did you have a good time last night?" "BASICALLY!"
|
It's funny how many people use the same terms, I guess they are pretty much universal!
Shady - a nasty guy is "shady." Since my name is Shae, my nickname became Slim Shaedy when I was pledging. So there's a good "shaedy" and a bad "shady"! "Randy" - Short for random, a random guy is Randy Random. i.e. "What's up with this randy guy hitting on you?" "G.D" - short for God D!@# "I'll just be riding around the cul de sac..." - Taken from SNL, the "Wake Up Wakefield" scetch, where it's the morning announcements, and the girl has a huge crush on Randy Goldman, so she says that over winter break she'll just be "Riding around the cul de sac, waiting to see Randy." You say this when someone is meeting you somewhere, or picking you up, and you're waiting for them. "That would be grrrrrrrreeeeeeaaaaaat" - Taken from Office Space..."If you could get those PTS reports in, that would be grrrreeeaaattt." You guys know, the annoying boss guy says it. Anyways, we say it when we ask someone to bring something over to borrow or something, or if you need someone to do something for you. "If you could just bring me that red shirt, that would be grrrrreeeaaat." |
Oh! I forgot a new one. We Zeta's sign our notes ZLAM (for Zeta Love and Mine) and so we've started calling each other "my little zlam'er" cand ute names like that. It looks silly but it cracks us up...my sisters are so precious! (Sorry to get all girlie but I just had to share!) :)
