The use of the word F--k seems to have entered the world of general use these days, losing it's sexual connotation, as in:

What the F--k = what is it, or what was that.
Don't F with me / don't F me about = don't pull my string/chain = don't mess me about.

I bet Sandra's 'Adams apple' isn't the only big thing about her!

What I meant is I don't even wanna go there. But if some people do, that's their own bizness.

I'm leaving that sentence alone...

Btw, here's some other meanings for "hook-up" from Urban Dictionary

hook up:

1. recieved a good or service as a favor
2. to make out with someone
3. to have sex with someone

1. Jerry gave me the hook up with those backstage passes.
2. Sandra and I hooked up last night and her adams apple was kinda big
3. Hooking up with Derick last night was the biggest mistake in my life.

A poster to that website also mentioned the meaning I gave for "hook up"=to meet up with someone to hang out". But it seems that meaning is 'old school' now and the other meanings are more commonly used {at least by younger folks}.

From my last post:

* props=proper respect=public acknowledgements

****

It just occurred to me-did the term "hook-up" come from "hooker"{meaning prostitute}??

I still think that "off the hook" comes from "off the chain" since the latter term was used first {if 'latter' means the chain saying-I always get 'former' and 'latter' mixed up.

Hey, Matt_R , thanks for your post, but can ya help a sistah out?
I know that "the Internet is full of synonyms", but what are the meanings of:

own
pwn
0wn
pwnsauce
pwnd
pwndxorz

???

I know "LOL" means "lots of laughs" and "ROFL" means "rolling on the floor laughing". But I didn't know about these being used as prefixes and suffixes.

Thanks, I guess I need to get around [the Internet] more.

****

Special thanks to Sorcha for helping to get this thread going. I'm learning alot from your list, girl friend.

Sorcha, please let me add a bit of background to the "homies" term:

"Homies" {"homeboy"; "homegirl"} started out meaning a person from your "hood" {neighborhood}. It later expanded into a person who grew up in the same city/town you did {or the area near that city/town}. And it also can mean a person who lives in the same city {area}that you live in now.

I suppose if I went overseas {to another country} any 'UnitedStater' would be my "homie". TSo you could say that that term "homie" is relative.

Get it? "Relative" meaning 'having different meanings'. Not relative meaning "being your kin".

Ha! Ha!

[Someone here just mentioned the other day that I haven't got a sense or humor {well, actually the poster said 'humour'}. But if that poster had said that my sense of humor is kinda strange, I woulda agreed with her. But since she doesn't know me, maybe she wasn't aware of that. But, I bet some of you figured that out. Not that this has anything to do with the price of beans in Boston. I'm just sayin.]

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!

Following on sorcha's Threads=clothes

clothes are also gear (sadly she went with her goods and her gear)
and togs and duds.

In London a suit is a Whistle (Whistle and Flute) or a Pinny (Pinafore)

Then there's glad rags.

Hmmmm

Amergin, was your post was in response to mine about "hookin up with"?

Yeah, okay.

But still there are other words-and some of them are relatively clean-that mean the same as the word you gave.

I can think of some. But I'll let you or others add them to this thread, if you have a mind to.

It's off the hook!=

It's great!

It's fabulous!

It's fantastic!

It's off the chain!

It's what's happenin!

It's fresh!

It's the bomb!

It's hot!

It's all that-and a bag of chips.

[Judging by urban R&B/Hip-Hop radio stations, the phrase "It's off the hook" or "It was off the hook!" is really hot right now. I think this phrase is a newer version of the saying "It's off the chain". The phrase "It's fresh" is even older. I'm wondering if these three sayings refer to fresh meat hanging on hooks at the butcher shop.

I'm serious. I mean these sayings had to come from somewhere, right?]

It's a hot night in the ole town tonight.

And since I'm hot, I decided it would be cool to have some fun with words.

How many words or sayings can you come up with that mean the same thing or a similar thing as a slang term? It's okay to use other slang terms or standard English words or sayings.

You get where I'm comin from? If so, cool. If not, it's no big deal.

I'mma start off in the next post. If you have a mind to, you can join me.

That'll be cool.
