Your own, personal language
We all have our own expressions we use, and no one else may know exactly why we say some of the things we do or what is really meant.
That said, what are some of your phrases..... and i mean besides, say, using the word interesting in place of boring? Here are some of mine..... "I love you, but..." - That's a preface I use when i think someone is wrong and I'm right.  "Good point." - That means I'm rolling my eyes cause you've stated something so obvious, it didn't need to be said in the first place. (There are one or two exceptions to that one though... if I've said it to anyone here, it was meant in it's pure sense. From this moment on though.....).  "Oh, you're sweet." - That means I find you sexually attractive and what are you doing tonight?  Okay, your turn!

My personal language. huh???
Very few words... lots of hand gestures. They get the idea across and my vocal chords don't get strained.

Bootleg = I use this for anything that is shady, ridiculous
Comedy = I use this in the same frame as bootleg, when I am sick of bootleg Ish = Instead of saying "that is the ****" ..."that is the ish" There is more that I can't think of...My friends and I have a lingo and it is great to have in some situations....When we are dealing with people we don't know, it is like we are speaking a foreign language in front of them sometimes, it is great

I declare "shenanagans" when I see something unfair. Like today, when they have Quarter day for lunch and we usually have cheeseburgers for .25!! They replace that with some cracked out chicken wings for .25. Lunch time shenanagans! 10 wings cost me 2.50? Last week I could have gotton 10 cheeseburgers for that! Scav, that's some bootleg ish!
Shizzle = shot (tequilla) ex: Saturday night, I'll be doing mad shizzles of Cuervo!!!!! Re-up = get more of whatever I ran out of.. aka beer or whatever  There's more, but I can't go into it.

Oh boy... um...
"Well, that's the rancid olive in my martini of misery"-- when something happnes to just really pile poop on top of more poop. Yes, I really do say that. I'm very fond of "Always a pony somewhere" when I'm trying to find the bright side. My husband says I and my brother have a verbal tic that he's heard no one else use, including anyone else in our family. He says we have a way of saying, "ohhhh" when someone tells us something. He says, translated, it means, "I'm really not very interested in what you just said, but I'm trying to be polite." Now, how he figured THAT out I have no idea. Because he's exactly right.

That's another one I use a lot-- "you lie like a rug." Oh, and "Daytime! What the--" Which I can't even explain, really. It's a line from one of the puppet shows at the zoo that somehow worked it's way into my vernacular.

Hear the difference?  And, while we're on the subject of language, here's a very entertaining essay: http://www.slate.com/id/2146866/?nav=tap3 It's entitled 'In Defense of the Word 'Sucks'" Or something like that. Fun reading and I learned something, too! Last edited by GenuineRisk : 08-03-2006 at 09:20 PM.
