Thread Name: BS: Same As Slang
Subject: RE: BS: Same As Slang
Hey, I'm really lovin this!

Thanks for joining in. Please keep posting more slang synonyms.

Confession: That's the title this thread shoulda had, but I couldn't remember the word "synonyms". So when you see this title, think of that one.

And speaking of titles, I wanna give props * to the person whose thread title and comment got me thinking of the meanings of slang terms and 'synonyms' for those particular terms.

Special thanks to Mudcat newbie Hankus Festus for your thread:
Mudcat: Reference tool or hook up hangout? .

In the initial post to that thread, Hankus Festus {great name btw!} asked this question:

"I'm a starving artist looking for hook ups. I was wondering about this site. Is it mainly a reference tool cyber hang out or can it be used to network with other talents to form songwring partnerships?"

-snip-

So you can see why I had the term "hook-up" on my brain. That term lead to the saying "It's off the hook" and the rest is history. Besides folks answering the question, Hankus Festus asked, there's some fun play on words in that thread.

If you're in to that kinda thing {and since you're reading this thread, you probably are}, don't forget to check it out!
