karatekid1975 Posted September 27, 2005 Author Share Posted September 27, 2005 What about "sweet". I say that (slang) when I like something, not because something is sweet.Or the word (slang again) phat (pronounced "fat"), meaning you also like something, or something is cool.Or when you "steal" something here in NY, you say "gank." Not steal LOL. Example: "I ganked a CD from a friend," or something similar. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karatekid1975 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 When I lived in NJ, I heard it a lot. Do you still hear it down there? Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryuwarrior Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 Laurie I've lived in Jersey all my life, 22 years and I've never heard anybody say that. Where did you live to hear that? Oh my baloney has a first name.And its' name is K-A-R-A-T-E.Oh my balney has a last nameAnd its' name is......Hey! what is it's last name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karatekid1975 Posted September 28, 2005 Author Share Posted September 28, 2005 I lived in south Jersey. So, it could be a lot different down there (well, where I used to live is "red-neck" ville, so I heard a lot of weird stuff LOL). Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isshinryuwarrior Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 well, it's amazing how much dilaogue changes from region to region, I've been in central jersey.

karatekid1975 Posted September 29, 2005 Author Share Posted September 29, 2005 Yea, I agree. I moved here to NY, and I never heard half of the slang they say here. But then again, when I say NJ slang, they don't know what the heck I'm talking about LOL. Laurie F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris Posted October 2, 2005 Share Posted October 2, 2005 You know I wish we could get a person from Britan or London to show us how to speak "English English)I am from about 40 miles from London and most of the time know what your talking about.The whole dish liquid thing made me laugh we just call it washing up liquid (yeah its a bit of a mouthful!)We also don't call it soda or pop. We just tend to use brand names.They should make an American English to UK English dictionary. Then again we have so much American TV here a lot of slang stuff comes over with it.But then again I don't understand things people say from the North of England and our country is tiny compared to the US!
