Slang Meme

Posted on February 13, 2005 in Memes Words

I don’t think I’ve seen one of these running around. The name of the game is, as with most memes of this type, to check the list and see which slang phrases you recognize. Except there is this catch: you remove all the slang phrases you do recognize and leave the ones you don’t on the list. No substitutions. (You may list what you removed from the list.) That’s why I have such a long list. Go for it.

• sling the cat
• slip someone a Mickey
• make tracks
• army brat
• bull session
• fish-fight
• God’s acre
• jollop
• kvetch
• tube steak
• vertical bathtub
• mooner*
• monkey fart
• lung butter
• hojo
• potty mouth
• Mr. Hawkins
• rust bucket
• technicolor yawn
• hubbas
• blog
• junk bond
• zoomies
• world beater
• fake the funk

If you’re curious, you can buy yourself a copy of NTC’s Dictionary of American Slang and Colloquial Expressions. Go ahead. Make me richer.

*This is not someone who moons people.

It started here on Pax Nortona!

For the record, my list would look as follows:

• sling the cat
• fish-fight
• jollop
• vertical bathtub
• mooner*
• monkey fart
• lung butter
• Mr. Hawkins
• hubbas
• zoomies
• world beater
• fake the funk

Start with the original list, however.
