    Well, part of my school went to see Wicked recently and it got me to thinking. I live on the West Coast, and we say things like sweet and what not. Where as, on the East Coast, people tend to say different words with more or less the same meaning, like wicked. Even in other places, people say things like Cool Beans!

    So basically, this is to ask about the things that people say in your town/area.

    We have some very..."ghetto" kids here, for lack of a better description. And there's the side of very ethical people, which I'm in. :D

    Lying is bad Derk, everyone knows you're a gangster. :(


    My whole school used to say janky after one of my teachers mentioned it, but I've heard some other ones.
    Ho's, ratchet, you be trippin', dawg, you messed up, tha's gay, and 'Sup, among other things.
     
    Well, in Bawlamer, we say "Hon" a lot. And we pronounce words differently (like "Baltimore" is "Bawlamer", "Water" is "Wooder", etc.).

    And I say "Shizz" instead of a certain swear word, but I don't think that's regional. Same with "aye" XD

    I think the kids in my school tend to say "Sweetness" or "Sup" too.
     
    Nothing I can think of. Great Lakes accent most likely. I live in Northern Indiana so..
     
    Our class had a lot of inside jokes, a some of our slang came from Adam Sandler or Disney movies, most were just random ideas, often short-lived. I vividly remember replacing profanities with the letter they started with, like "F!" or "S!", we found that amusing for awhile. Other than that I can't remember :I
     
    "Intense" is probably number one here, as in, "That was so intense." Oh sometimes we do say cool beans too, but its more of a joke.
     
    Well another thing that we said for a while was legit, but that grew old pretty fast.
     
    Where I'm from, we would say "So Cal," which is short for southern California. There are times we would say "Cali" instead of California.

    Also, when I was living in the dorms my friends would say "fo sho," which means "for sure." I actually like that slang as you would call it, so I would say that time to time and also even put that in posts once in a while. :P
     
    Just the usual Canadian "eh?" every once in a while. "Pop" instead of "soda," and I myself (not sure about others) would say "insane" instead of "awesome." For example, in guitar class when one kid just played Stairway to Heaven flawlessly on an electric guitar, I told him "dude....that was insane!" XD
     
    'Beardy' comes to mind, used to describe some kind of shrewd move, or by extention such a person. The term seems exclusive to my town and is rare anyway.
     
    Hmm well where I live people say "wicked awesome" or "wicked cool" all the time. Then there is the occasional "mad cool" Idk, that's all I can think of at the moment.
     
    A lot of my peers have started to say "buzzin'" as a general use word like "awesome" or something, mostly as an in-joke that none of you will get. :D
     
    I say 'safe' when talking about something good.

    'That gig was pretty safe...'

    As well as a lot of swearing to express my opinions. The best way.
     
    The new popular term around the school, starting a few months ago, is "beasted". It's the same thing as pwn'd, but usually applies when it's between two people of the opposite gender.
     
    I noticed that recently people around my school/general area have started saying things like beast, and intense. My guess is that they just get tired of saying the same things over and over.
     
    I'm from California, Northern California to be specific and people here are thought to say "hella" but I only know one person who says that and only as a joke. Mostly it's just ways to talk about places like saying "the city" when you mean San Francisco. Oh, and "dude". I still hear that a lot.

    I live in Nor Cal as well. So, yeah, people will probably be saying around the same things. However, the city is too vague for my town, as there are a few different cities we could go out too. Also, speaking of San Francisco, I get to see King Tut some time this month. I think the 23rd. (:
