Words we're bringing back
 

I'm bringing back TWAT. I fucking love that word.

TWAT TWAT TWAT

Twat did you say? Twatterific!
Twatty twatterstein.


Twat.

That is all. Twat.

What word do you want to bring back?

Back? I've been using it since forever. Twat waffle is my favorite name calling expression. It's still very much in use around here.

Weird.

Language evolves.

I don't understand.

Queeb?

Please regard what you are referring to.

Like so: Jumblies - the breastesses of a well-endowed woman.

I hearby move that we bring back the word "forthwith"... forthwith!

forthwith - immediately; without delay.

Jumblies forthwith?

Groovy!

Groovy = Radical = Tubular = I Can Dig It!

Prink.


that's right...........prick + dink = Prink.

zipper...

(hehe...)

Broad.


Referring to a female.

Well, because I've lived in Queens and Brooklyn, Broad never left my vocabulary.

But I would like to use it more often without hearing, "What the hell is a broad?!" :rolleyes:

Other words we ought to bring back:

Gormless - stupid

Fandango - Tomfoolery - nonsense

:thumbsup:

I'd like to get "Golly" back. It's an expression like "OMG!" or words to that effect.

I'd like to add "thusly" to the national lexicon... even tho it's not technically a word, screw all that - it makes sense! Thusly, it's in. :D

From the 60s: Spade
If I were black, I think it would sound cooler to use "spade" instead of "african-american" or "brother".

I think moreover needs to come back... it's wonderfully literary, but no one seems to use it anymore.

My SO and I used to have the Word Of the Day. By far, my favorite was splendid... my cell VM still ends with "have a splendid day" and you wouldn't believe the messages I get from people who forget what they were going to say, those who get all perky and crap, and those who say that it made their day. It cracks me up. I got two of my coworkers to compulsively use "splendid" and I burst out laughing every time one of them uses it.

I have one friend that refers to condoms as prophylactics... that always amused me for some reason, so I'd like to see it used more.

Speaking of sex, I was watching The Big Lebowski the other day and it occured to me that "sex" is just far overused... there are so many synonyms for it, we really should try and vary our terminology. My two favorites are coitus and copulate. :)

Right-o. I use this to conclude phone conversations. Right-o, speak to you soon.

Gormless is a word I use with relative frequency.

As for twat... I fully agree. It's a perfect word.

Broadly prinking:

Zoned.

Can we make "irregardless" a word?
You have to say it with a Mexican accent, though.

"quite right, slick..."

Jackass.
Its not a word, but a classic phrase, "keep on truckin'"
I have never said "Fandango", I would love to use that word.

Hep.

It's like hip, but since it dates from the late 50's, it's infinitely cooler. As the late great Hunter Thompson observed in "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas": The Circus-Circus is what the whole HEP world would be doing on a Saturday night, if the Nazi's had won the war."

Mumpsimus is my favorite. Full story behind the link, but it is an adjective describing someone who sticks obstinately to their old ways, in spite of the clearest evidence that they are wrong.

This thread reminds me of Clerks II. One of the characters wants to bring back "Porch Monkey" as a non racist term.

Ahoyhoy A greeting, particularly when answering the phone.

Alexander Graham Bell was reportedly very dissapointed that this, his intended greeting on his newly invented device, was displaced by 'Hello'. I'm trying to bring it back.

i hope he's not from alabama...

"Keen" instead of cool or awesome, as in "Fuckin' A, that shit's keen!"

decent

as in... How are you? Decent.

That'd be freakin'...awesome!
BTW, let's bring back "awesome!"

Jim Dandy. Great-- as in "that's just Jim Dandy".
Also a blast from the '80's...wicked. Meaning excellent, cool.

I actually heard a kid, about 14-15, say yesterday, "I'm in a pickle". :eek: Not sure I want to bring that one back....
If 'irregardless' ever becomes a real word, I'm moving to a cave!

Come to New England, "wicked" has never gone away. Except that we also use it as an adverb, not just an adjective.

nifty...

oddsbodkins.

it's great to yell it out in anger.

also, dickweed

as in..."oddsbodkins, you are such a dickweed!"

and "save" instead of "except" like "everyone save bill came over"

*BASTARD*



damn rights..............




:thumbsup:

I live in a cave. Haven't you read about it?
Irregardless: "twinked".

What about (well, aboot, as I am Canadian) Gay meaning HAPPY?

Twat and Keen so far take the cake for me in this thread

I'd like to see some more Mate usage as in referring to a friend: Hey mate!

Sorry it's been replaced by Stat. Hey blame "medical center":rolleyes:

BS, around the 1600s it got quite out of vogue, at least if you were on the hanging end:orly:

I'd have to go with harlot. Whore and slut are far too overused.

Oh, and when I answer the phone, I always say, "Yellow!" No one does that anymore. One of my friends always responds, "Green." Another says, "Banana."
