    "chillaxin"

    Which, unbelieveable as it is that certain people actually used it to begin with, I actually saw in use TWICE on myspace last week.

    what was the context?

    i could go without hearing "it's the bomb" or any humps/lumps references for a while

    "Rad" - as in, "that breakbeat on the fourth Maxayn album sure is RAD."

    I've detested 'shorty' and 'boo' for at least a decade now

    If we drag slang phrases out this could be a long thread

    I'm probably gonna get flamed into next Thursday for saying this, but hip-hop terminology doesn't really age well.

    "hells yeah"

    ugh, terrible. this is that teenage white girl slang that somehow caught on. i heard someone say this in a commercial the other day. it was a dude too.

    toss in "hella"


    That was amusing like 20 years ago when it was a bay phenomenon.

    I don't know if it's considered slang or not, but I want to shoot the guy who came up with 'metrosexual'.

    "chillaxin"

    Word. Also, saying "hecka" is grounds for a beating.

    i was actually at amoeba, and heard someone refer to a cd as "phat". i felt violated afterwards.



    does the "nizzle" thing even deserve a mention, or is that a given? i'm hearing it reduced to "niz" now, like "what up my niz". i've even heard "nozzle" in the same context. blah.

    "My bad" sounded terrible even when it was new.

    Eh, most rap records don't age well either... but there are a number of classic terms from the genre that never go away, and eventually become a part of the country's lexicon...

    "weak sauce"

    "cool beans"

    and other frat boy delights.

    I also just learned what "felching" is recently and I wish I hadn't.

    i aint gonna lie..I caught myself using "phat" the other day, and after stopping and realizing what I said, I felt very odd and uncomfortable.

    There are people in the world who DON'T say "my bad"?

    I thought it was pretty universal by now.

    "Bling"

    When everything from your local news to Entertainment Tonight is using the word, you know it's time to move the fuck on.

    as far as marijuana slang, i don't want to hear anyone in LA say "bud" again. it ain't '95 anymore. "pot" always irked me.

    Strangely enough, one overused 90's cliche that I still kinda like is "don't go there."

    Somebody uses it in, of all places, the new issue of No Depression magazine, and it actually sounds even MORE powerful out of the neckrolling-sistagirl context it came from. That one should stay with us.

    "weak sauce" is cool by me, as is it's counterpart "hot sauce" (when used correctly), but "cool beans" haha!! that's hilarious.

    I'm all for regional slang, but calling a dude a "bol" is something that I still can't get with.
