Real, live slang
I’m one of those people who use email, instant messaging, and text messaging on such a daily basis that my typing slang has weaseled its way into my verbal slang. Sick, right?
Here are some of my favorite slang terms that I both type and speak:
Epic – This word is perhaps my favorite. Of all time. Not only does it get the most awesome of points across, but it doesn’t even have synonyms. Not one. I looked on dictionary.com and my handy-dandy pocket dictionary/thesaurus. And nadda. How epic.
Examples:
Mike Richards is epic.
Winning the lottery and never having to work another day in my life would be epic.
Kthxbai – This one is just fun to use in general. You can totally shut someone up with it. And it’s another phrase that gets your point across.
Examples:
The Flyers will beat the Caps in Saturday’s game kthxbai.
Hi, Bossman. I’m calling in a personal day. Kthxbai.
Heeeeee - If ever there is a need to express extreme excitement, use this phrase.
Examples:
Gerry Butler’s P.S. I Love You is coming to blu-ray in May…heeeeee!
Heeeeee the Flyers won game 3 in the 2nd round of OT!
Oh hai - So short. So simple. So many uses. A greeting, an exclamation, a throaty fangirly purr. The list goes on.
Examples:
Oh hai, Richie.
This day is never-ending. Oh hai going home early.
Srsly - Abbreviation of “seriously.” Like that really needed an explanation.
Examples:
If this day doesn’t end, I will kill myself. Srsly.
I would srsly take a bullet for Mike Richards.
bb - Abbreviation for “baby.” Another fun one.
Examples:
Oh hai, bb.
Who’s your bb’s daddy?
So those are just a few of my favorite slang terms. I’m not joking when I say I type them and speak them. Srsly.
