[start corny anouncer voice]
Have you ever made up a word (or a really weird use of a "real" word)? Ready to be credited with the next "cool" or "PHAT"? Well here is your chance.
[/voice]

Here's a couple of mine:

Douchebaggery- performing A*hole acts (usually while driving). PZ is guilty of douchebaggery

I've got to credit the next one to a former coworker

Prostitot- Young girls dressed like prostitutes. See your local Mall

Not really, he just happened to make a good example for douchebaggery's use. I don't really have a problem with him, I just ignore his political rantings.

More like tomfoolery.

@ Paul Z- hey we're all assholes once in a while (I know I have my moments). You just seem to be the posterchild for it right now. It's not like I said you're always an asshole, just that recently you seem to have a big case of douchbaggery that you're working through.

A few local slang terms from Western Pennsylvania aka "Pittsburghese":


  • yunz - replacement for: "you all" - "Where are yunz going?"
  • gumband - replacement for "rubber band"
  • still - replacement for "steel"
  • Hoopieland - replacement for "West Virginia"
  • worsh - replacement for "wash"



There are hundreds of these regional terms in this area with several books out on how to decipher the native "Picksburgher" language and terminology.

Regional dialects can be quite humorous. I love the accents and dialect from the various areas in Great Britain. From watching many British shows over the years and knowing a few people originally from the London area, I've gotten to the point I can understand most of what is said now but still come across some things that confuse me.

Where I'm from, I've naturally picked up my local dialect but had to work hard to lose most of it as a job I held for many years required contacting companies around the US as well as overseas and I needed to be understood.

Made up words and different dialects are fine, but is there any of us here that are fluent in Klingon and brave enough to admit it?
