Some of them are really stupid...but here they are:

Janked: Taking something. 'I janked the magazine out of her hands'. You guys probably have heard this before actually.


Mashing: A term around here that describes 4-Wheeling. All the guys in my town go four-wheeling in their hoopty cars, so they always say, " We are going to do some major mashing this weekend".

Rad: Okay, we all know this one. And you've probably said it back in the early 90's, but we still do. Pathetic, I know...

[coily2]

We like to use variants of the word "ass".

If something sucked big time, it would be "asstastic".

If something is a bad idea, we tell someone "Don't do that. That would be ass."

And of coure, tagging "ass" on to the end of any word just puts greater emphisis on the word. lame-ass has much more powerful of a meaning than "lame".

Since most of my friends work as network engineers like me, we're exposed to a whole bunch of hackers. We love to make fun of high school kids who call themselves hackers because they tYp3 L1|<3 7h1$. We borrow words from their vocabularly to make fun of someone.

k-rad: describes someone who thinks they are being cool but are obviously not.
leet: same as above.
phat skillz: makes fun of someone's ability to hack, or how we use it, to drive a car, to walk and chew gum at the same time, whatever comes to mind.

well first is some of the stuff u mite know about:

Pop(soda)
Hoagie(sub)
Buggie(shopping cart)
slippy(slippery)
Crick(Creek)
Chipped ham(I dont know how u say it any where else)

Well, I'm from Scotland so I can guarantee you won't have heard of any of our slang words -

Nyaff - a Glasgow expression meaning an annoying or troublesome young person

Sleekit - sly or crafty. An example of it's usage would be "Git away tae, yi sleekit wee nyaff!!"

Oxter - armpit (I have NO IDEA where this originated from!)

Git away tae! - another Glasgow expression meaning "get the hell away from me!"

Humf - to carry something, i.e. to humf the bags all the way up the hill.

Pure dead mental - Glasgow expression, if something is 'pure dead mental' then it's absolutely brillaint.

Radge - Edinburgh word meaning crazy. If someone was to 'go radge' that would mean that they got really annoyed or angry.

I could sit here all afternoon doing this. If any of you are actually interested I may post more later.

Hey, I'm interested. Especially since I'll be visiting Scotland in a couple years. Besides, it'll be good for me to be 'hip' with Scottish lingo.

Where-abouts in Scotland are you gonna be staying Cokies?
Anyway, since you asked so nicely here's some other cool Scots words -

stoat - to 'stoat' something means to throw it against something, i.e. to stoat the ball against a wall.

keek - to 'keek' at something means to look at it.

ken - to know. If you 'ken' something, it means you know it. This expression is used more in the far north of Scotland.

bevvie - to drink a lot of alcohol.

blootered - drunk.

skeech - if something is 'a wee bit skeech' then it means it is slightly squint. An example of it's usage would be 'that picture o'er there is a wee bit skeech'

o'er - over

bouffin' - a Glasgow expression meaning 'disgusting'.

barra - could mean 'wheel barrow' but is most commonly used when referring to the Glasgow Barrowlands - a fairly large and locally renouned (though not always for good reasons) concert hall. The 'Barras', as it's known, is also a really cool market place where you can buy everything and anything.

Glesca - the way the locals pronounce 'Glasgow'.

Glesca kiss - trust me, if someone threatens you with a 'Glesca kiss' then just run as fast as you can!

Mossopp - I needed this lesson BEFORE I went to Scotland. Lol. Between the slang and the strong accent, sometimes it felt like everyone was speaking a different language. But it was really cool! I think different accents are so interesting. Thanks for sharing all the slang.

What do you mean by 'slightly squint'?

Most likely Edinburgh. But of course I want to go on over and visit Glasgow as well!

Lol! I'll be sure to watch out for those "Glesca kisses' when I go on over. They must be pretty bad, huh?

By 'slightly squint' I mean not straight up and down or leaning to one side. 'Shoogley' is another cool Scots word which means kinda the same thing. If something is 'shoogley' then it's wobbley or liable to fall over.
Where abouts in Scotland did you stay when you were over here? What did you think of it?

I spent the most time in Edinburgh, which was a cool place. I visited Holyrood Palace and Edinburgh Castle. It was such a great experience to see places that were hundreds of years old and had so much history. The best part was talking to the locals – I would have liked to do more of that. I got to briefly see other places in Scotland because I took a tour bus from Glasgow to London. We stopped at Loch Lomond, which I thought was a very beautiful area. I was there in March and everything was so green. (Where I live, everything is brown in March.) I loved the long-haired sheep and cows (I forgot what they are called). I also stopped at Stirling, where I saw Stirling castle, and Callander, which I thought was a neat little town. I got an awesome wool sweater there for a really good price. I thought Scotland was a great place. Wish I could have spent more time there. Hopefully I can go back someday.

Where do you live?
