edited January 2007 in Strut Central
I've decided to focus my linguistics project on the slang of Soulstrut.com, but my professor needs proof that Soulstrut.com has its very own "dialect/slang."She said she wants to know if everyone agrees upon the meanings of slang word, because online forums are hard to classify as a "subculture" with a distinct dialect.If I could get everyone's agreed upon definition for (or any other ish): Please help i'll post some raer mp3's for your help! seriously!Thanks, rogb

    tell you teacher this:

    which means:

    Gweilo (鬼佬; Jyutping: gwai2 lou2; Cantonese IPA: kwɐɪ35 ləʊ35; Pinyin: guĭlăo; sometimes also spelt Gwailo) is a Cantonese term for Caucasian people (generally men). It literally means "ghost man" or "ghost chap"[1] and arose to describe the pale complexion, the sometimes "red hair and green/blue eyes" (紅鬚綠眼) of Caucasians. When the term is translated into English, it is sometimes wrongly translated as foreign devil. The term arose in the 19th century and maybe associated with the occupation of China by foreign powers.

    The term is sometimes considered offensive by non-Cantonese people.[2] Many Cantonese speakers, however, frequently use the term to refer to white people and westerners in general that they consider the term non-derogatory, a controversial notion.[3]. Prior to the 1980s, the term was commonly prefaced by sei (死, jyutping: sei2, meaning: death[4], damnation) as in sei gweilo, meaning "damned ghost man", a definite pejorative.

    Gweilo is the most generic term, but variations include:

    * To refer specifically to Caucasian women: gweipor (鬼婆, jyutping: gwai2 po4, literally: "ghost woman") which is also often spelt "gwai-poh" 4 LIFE[/b]

  • old tale once told:

    is what was heard if none contribution, or indroduction has yet to be known.












    either that or be prepared for some clon.

    Bud: All of those graemlins are as just as contextual as their actual words (inasmuch as they are usually takeoffs of hip-hop phraseology). The
    and icons would be the ones to tackle, because they are indigenous to this board. How much do you know about pictographic forms, by the way?

    Personally, I'd favor the linguistic patterns of either the Bantu branch of the Niger-Congo Language group or the Old Gutnish dialect of Old (East) Norse. Those, or Caucasian Proto-Emo ("I luuurve you.")

  • The raer term also applies to plaese. Note that raer is one that has entered into alot of people's ebay auctions. one of my favorites is

    don't forget secret squirrel is a good one. white whale.

    I am curious to hear more about this project. Great idea and good luck!

    Wasn't there talk a while ago of an official Soulstrut lexicon, wherein the etymology of terms like "fany", "raer", "plaese", "that real schitt", "hatte(u)r", "folls and idoits", "thread count", "you sound poor/white/ass-hurt" and "tono bungay" would be laid out for the benefit of future generations and mankind as a whole?

    I think such a project would get bogged down by the average strutter's ignorance of the fact that up to 75% of the slang appropriated by Soulstrut did not actually originate here.

    I disagree. I think some are completely ambiguous or synonymous with other aspects of culture and/or bulletin boards(Lil John, Hard as fuck, etc.) and passed around, but the most used ones from soul strut originate hear(raer, facemelt). mostly from spelling mistakes. and if they originate somewhere else, they are misused/misappropriated here on soul strut.

  • yeah man, not a bad idea for your project but a lot of those ones you listed aren't specific to soul strut. like 'not a good look' people say that everywhere all the time.

    but there ARE ones that are indigenous to the strut. like bean dip.

    Soulstrut specific slang lexicon entries past and present:


    Shit's goiter, man.
    Carfagnalogue
    Bloodstool (see also bloodshitter)



    Please add on.

  • In the wide world of human linguistics I'm surprised that all you could come up with is soulstrut.

    Not to be a downer but if I were your professor I would see that as a total cop-out

    A little like giving a freshmen speech about the legalization of marijuana, or a talk on the brilliance of The Simpsons. Sure they may be good topics but it's not, as they say, a good look.

    Caution: unlike all other strut slang, this phrase may not be recontextualized or have any other then total literal meaning, or someone will call CinisterCee a rookie.
