Before anything else EXPECT THIS POST TO BE EDITED A LOT AS I I WILL BE ADDING MORE TO THE LIST.
I use a mixture of slang that I've sponged from the world around me and terms that I've made up either because I think it sounds good or as a hickism which makes it nigh impossible for older generations (and difficult for my generation) to understand me half the time. Also I sometimes tend to talk somewhat poetically. Because of this I will be making a list of terms I use. Feel free to add your own in the replies or reblogs.
1: hickism [ taking complicated terminology and simplifying it, often with my own version of verbal shorthand]
2: bastitch [gender neutral insult combining the words bitch and bastard which if im not mistaken was first used by Lobo from the DC Universe
3: my sibling in science (that one should be self explanatory but in case it ain't) [my non religious version of my brother/sister in Christ]
4: lover [ I use this as a gender neutral term for girlfriend or boyfriend]
5: partner [ I use this as the gender neutral version of sir or ma'am (I should point out here that I don't use the terms sir or ma'am for other people much because to me they just come off condescending nowadays but more on that in another post.)
6: 2 genders and some folks in between [my smart-assed way of saying ITS A FUCKIN' SPECTRUM]
7: gone 39 clues [ my version of 'lost the plot'. If I say that a series has went 39 clues that means I feel it has devolved into arbitrary insanity for No. Discernable. Reason.
8: grippers [ feet. 1 because I use my feet to pick things up and 2 because Damian Lee (the guy that used to work on the YouTube channel Emkay) calls feet grippers and the term kind of stuck]
Nigh: [this is actually a word thats been around forever with 2 meanings the first being oncoming; the end is nigh. And the second meaning almost; his armor is nigh impervious. I use it (usually with the word on right after it) to mean almost; its nigh on 102 degrees out here.]
First cup: [if I say 'first cup' it means that I'm on My first cup of coffee or I haven't had coffee yet and not to talk to me until I do.]
Aye: [basically how I say yes] you can blame the How To Train Your Dragon franchise and the Muppets Treasure Island movie for me for using the word 'aye' as an affirmative answer cause thats where I got it from]
I will expand this list to include more. As before feel free to include some of your own.
