Since I've been down at Hampton University I've met people from all over the world. I've heard accents from all over the nation, and noticed dialects from hundreds of townships.
One thing I love about traveling, whether it's from tennis, vacation or family visits, is the different way people use slang. Off the top of my head right now, I'm going to try and list some of the many different words people use down here. Whether they're sexual, random, off topic or what have you, I think it's funny how slang differs by region.
The word/ location/ meaning
[The word might be from a different/more than one region, I'm just going by who I heard it from]
Saving/ "D.C chillin', PG chillin', my names..."/ Saving means your "wifed up" aka spending most of your time with one girl. It comes from the real meaning of saving, because your saving up [money] for the girl. I've heard that a lot since I've been down here. Let's see if that changes...
'Bama/ D.C/ A pretty girl who cannot dress. Let's clap for Ed Hardy. Baby phat, stand up.
Lowkey/ Everywhere except Philly (from what it seems)/ On the low. But you use it before the verb or adjective. Like, "We're lowkey ____."
Fakin'/ D.C/ Getting mad. Wanting to fight.
Tight/ NYC/ The act of being mad. I talked about this with Ash... it sounds awkward when someone says a girl is "tight."Fakin'/ D.C/ Getting mad. Wanting to fight.
Fie (As in fire)/ The dirty dirty./ When something is hot, fun, exciting or what have you, it's fi(re).
Hekka/ Californ-I-A/ Same meaning as "hella." Which is adverb that I'm assuming you heard before.
Becky/ Down south/ Oral sex to the male. I laughed when I heard this. I laughed at the next one too.
Bobby/ Where do you think? ...The same place they say "Becky"/ Oral sex to the female
More will come to me. I'll update this post when they do...
On another note...
