Teenagers often communicate in their own language — a language adults and children can't understand. Their lingo varies from region to region and even from school to school. The language also completely changes in short periods of time. What is popular in one place at one time is passe in another time. Some terms retain their popularity for several years, though. Various expressions are exclusive to intimate groups of friends. The following is a guide to some of the in-vogue vocabulary of several groups at Marshall: all right (ol rit) — very good, satisfying, nearly perfect, or perfect ba (bu) — a suffix, as in Heyba youba! bad (bad) — all right boogie (boogi) — to dance brew (broo) — beer Bull fever (bool fe ver) — a syndrome brought on by excessive quantities of SMI. bum (bum) — the ultimate putdown buzzed (buzd) — feeling good, usually due to imbibing or smoking cash (kash) — extremely good quality or situation catch this (kach this) — you won't believe this; listen cold (kold) — cruel, insulting decent (de snt) — all right fox (foks) — good looking female fried (frid) — burnt out, buzzed; not in a condition to sleep garbonzo (gar bon zo) — a friendly expression with no meaning head (hed) — connoisseur of herbs hey, bwee (ha bwe) — hey, boy hunk (hunk) — good-looking male jack (jak) — nothing, zip joe (jo) — average juice (joos) — liquid intoxicant lift (lift) — steal looney (loon i) — insane max (maks) — the ultimate munch-out (munch out) — to eat excessively, without stopping nerd (nerd) — fool party (par ti) — to go out and get buzzed prime (prim) — to be intoxicated ralph (ralf) — to regurgitate really (rel i) — denoting surprise, disgust, awe, or truth red (red) — someone who likes to fight rowdy (rou di) — in the mood to party what a rip (wut u rip) — said when being cheated what's goin' down (wuts go in doun) — what's happening used (uzd) — been had zonked (zonk'd) — intoxicated to the max Candace E.
