Hello,
At the risk of sounding like an asshole, I've been noticing some new slang popping up in Seattle that my out-of-town friends don't know of, so I was wondering a bit about slang that develops in small regions, particularly in the United States. So some of the slang I've heard in Seattle is:
Dip(verb): Suddenly leave, Urgently depart: "Dude, cops! We gotta dip!"
Hecksa: I've heard hella and hecka, but not hecksa outside of Seattle.
Grippa: Many, very: "I'ma get grippa chicken nuggets up in this bitch!"
Bareknuckle: A form of street brawling common amongst party-folk, a fight club-like activity of mindless, friendly combat.
The Borg: Used when referring to Microsoft. I like this one.
That's all the really unique stuff that comes to mind. Anyway, to the point:
1. If you've heard of these, would you please post if so, where in the world you heard it, and from which kind of group (teens, etc.)
2. If your area has local slang, please post that as well.
I know this is weird, and again, if I sound like an asshole, I'm sorry, but I needed a friendly environment to test this out in, and I thought this would be cool.
