My stepdad has a subscription, but I always steal it from him. I found this in the December Issue, and I've been meaning to post it for a while, so now here it is. You know the Word Power thing with the vocabulary words? Well, for this issue they decided to go all ghetto and test adults on slang. I thought the answers page was too freaking funny, so here is it, in all its glory. 10 today, 10 tomorrow.
1. down- In agreement with; willing; as, I'm down for a road trip to Florida at spring break.
2. hooptie- Old car that's in bad shape; as, It may be a hooptie, but it's better than nothing at all.
3. tight- Fantastic; cool; interesting; as, Have you heard the new CD from Dido? It is totally tight! [Emily/editor's note: Now I like Dido alright, but I have never heard or described Dido's music as tight.]
4. whatevs- No comment; short for whatever. Adolescent equivalent of "what will be, will be." Also, whatev.
5. jet- Leave in a hurry; as, I'd better jet or the rents (parents) will be all bent out of shape.
6. wack- Weird or strange; unfair or unacceptable; as, You're breaking up with me? That's wack. Also wacked.
7. chill- To relax or clam down; often used with "out"; as, Let's just chill at my house tonight; or, Getting that C is no big deal. You need to chill out.
8. bling-bling- Something expensive; often jewelry, especially diamonds; also can be an adjective meaning "flashy"; as, His girlfriend is all about the bling-bling.
9. my bad- My mistake or fault; It's my bad that we haven't finished shopping yet and it's Christmas Eve.
10. crib- A house, apartment or any kind of residence; as, Come on over to my crib and we'll watch the game. In Victorian times, it was slang for one's lodgings.
11-20 tomorrow. "Peace out homeys."
