Default LANGUAGE and its discontents :)

I'm just curious, what language have you made your own? I've liked to hear different slang used by people from different parts of america [i haven't gotten outside of it too much though its on my mind to when funds become available]. I really like terms people have coined and made their own.

what are some terms that aren't necessarily mainstream that people use and know, within their groups of friends? or phrases multi-lingual?

i was hanging out with a lot of turkish friends tonight which spurs the thought ... and trying to write fiction. and am at a stopping point because i believe in a large part that societal consciousness, conflict, social roles, etc. is defined firstly by the language that you use and the according definitions. I guess I'm trying to explore some of the variance in peoples' language now to spur ideas!

Buddies and I had a lot in high school, but I haven't thought about it much for a while and I'm forgetting. Here are a few.

Smagernoot -- Cigarette

I'll rip off you're head and piss down your throat you pile of worthless ****--Translation: I love you, you are an importantly unique individual to me.

Plamatization/plamatized---being crazed, "whug out", completely nuts, not drunk or on drugs but acting as one may in such a situation.

Lots of variations on common phrases. . .

example: Take her sleezy--take it easy

Flip letters around.

example: let's go to kurger bing, or kinger burg --- other variations like that.
pass me the chopato pips.

Some friends became obsessed with that one.

I'm going to try and remember more and call some friends and post again in a few days or weeks.
