I have come to notice that on these threads from time to time some of us - myself included - use slang, forgetting that we are all from different countries (and that some of you clever ones out there have english as a second language).
I am an aspiring - but as yet still pretty shitty - writer and would love to steal all your favourite slang and phrases, to make me seem windswept and interesting.

It depends, what one calls slang, another calls a local phrase. Still, here's some gems.

Randomer: an individual previously unknown to a set of environs. Commonly applied to people who turn up in your halls of residence, who nobody knows.

Hmm, I've run out already. I'll stick some more down when I'm awaker.

Some of my favourites (thanks Viz!);

To piss on your chips: To do something which ultimately results in something bad happening to yourself.

Make a bald man cry: To masturbate (e.g. Natalie Portman in Closer is enough to make a bald man cry.)

I'm touching cloth: I need a shit.

My back teeth are floating: I need a piss.

To light a bum cigar: To have a shit.

Got the painters in: Reference to a woman's time of the month.


Let me know if you need any more.

Why are all of those concerning bodily excretions?

Goon is any cask wine, not just red. Infact, I've never even seen red goon before.
Most goon drunk here is fruitilexia, and god I hate it.

'Sweeping the Goose'

I'd say this one's pretty self explanatory.

Lately whilst playing pool, any time we sink a ball in the side pocket is referred to as 'satisfaction', and to miss such a shot would be 'satisfaction denied'. The term 'denied' though is used pretty much anytime somebody fails at something.

Ah yeah. Whenever someone fucks up and misses out on something, it's my cue to go, "Oooh, denied!" I thought I'd made this up, but apparently loads of people worldwide do this.

I thought I made it up sad.gif

Another alternative that's popular at the moment is the 'DUN DUN' noise from the old 'Family Feud' show.

Unfortunately, most, if not all, American slang is related to sex or masturbating. Here's a little list of some slang words Americans use.

**PROFANITY**

Masturbating: Jack off (verb), whack off, jerk off (verb), whacking, jerkin the gherkin, choking the chicken, beating the meat, spanking the monkey.

Sex: Getting laid, beef injection, humping, fucking, boning.

Penis: Dick, dork, wang, wong, schlong, schwanz, pork, one-eyed wonder worm, trouser snake, cock.

Vagina: Pussy, cooch, clit, beaver, box, snatch, slit, gash, slash.

Erection: Hard-on, rod-on, boner, stiffy, woody.

Anus: Asshole, Cornhole, bumhole, butthole, brown-eye, mangina.

Anal Sex: Buttsex, buttfucking, up the old dirt road.

Oral Sex: Sucking, Blowing, going down on, yodeling in the gully.

Not all american slang is related to sex.

Insults: Asshole, son of a bitch, bastard, fucker, motherfucker, fuckhead, fuckhole, shithead, shitforbrains, dumbass, jerk-off/jack-off (noun), dumbfuck, dickhead, dick-smoke, cock-smoker, dipshit.


That about sums it up.

I don't think fucking is slang anymore, if it ever was.

And come on, there should be plenty of American slang, just look at minority groups, or more specific areas. To say that there is no American slang is to say that Americans speak proper English, and the only people who can even try to claim that are the British. It always strikes me as odd that Americans claim words such as bollocks and wanker are 'English slang'. I mean, it's their language, you're just borrowing it.
