to boy,
>>Yesterday, when my folks wrote the same term to me but I replied differently. "Oh, nuthin' much, same shit, different day". <<
Are you on drugs? If it is, you probably need to get some rest, buddy. Chill out a little bit. Just for your kind information, my parents are living with me right now at my crib and I'm come from a respectable family, so I know more manners than you, like how to talk with them. Which language I have to use, all sorts of similar things. By the way, my mom doesn't know how to speak English, As for my father is concerned, he can have a conversation easily with English-speakin' people but atleast he even doesn't know what the word "bucks" mean. So, you should keep aside all negative words. Anyway, the bottom line is I didn't write that sentence to them atleast. As you're aware enough to use the internet, then you must know that the world is becoming smaller and more smaller by contacting people from rest of the world. Finding out an e-pal is just easy as pie.
>>You do realise that "shit" is a bad word, right?<<
I realize that "shit" is a bad word but I think there are many many bad words that you'll find out more stronger than this word. Mostly, teenagers speak it even in their native-language here in my country or sometimes "Damn it". It is so commonly used that there is no longer it has stronger element.
In a word, your first question was very stupid. Don't assume anything unless or until you see the facts with your eyes.

A-hahahahah. You actually said this to your parents??? You do realise that "shit" is a bad word, right?
I'm really sorry to you because there had been a marginal misunderstanding between you and me. I went ballistic on you by mistake because when I read your post, and you mentioned "parents" so I thought you were accusing me to use a bad language against them. For example, "shit" could be a bad word but the thing is when I wrote "folks" in my previous post that expressed "friends" as a meaning not as "parents".
I guess "folks" could also express "parents" as well as "friends". I write e-mails to my folks. I don't know who is wrong, me or you. Anyway, accept apologies from the bottom of my heart.
Rugger,
"Aggro" can be an adjective: "aggravatied", "bothered", "belligerent" or "aggressive".
I don't know that I'd count "billabong", "jackaroo" or "jumbuck" as slang but just standard Aussie English words.
I've heard "jillaroo" for a female jackaroo.
You've left out one of my favourites: "struth".
Jim, I agree that "billabong", "jackaroo", "jumbuck" aren't considered to be slang, but I just couldn't resist listing them to educate non-Aussies on their meaning. Your favourite "struth" did come to mind (along with Alf Stewart), but only after I had posted, so thanks for including it in your post.

Yo, whuddup?
I still hear people at my school say, "Oh, that's hella ghetto!" (stress on the "hella.")
Do you mean 'know-it-all instead' of "all-it-know"? (it's old)
I say gig when referring to a performance that my string ensemble usually does at some venue. That only when I say it.
Another slang term, which I hope isn't popular anywhere else, is "Lumpkin" (The most stupidest word ever.) Basically at school if somebody said or did did something stupid, a person would say, "Man, that's a lumpkin." And sock that person on the shoulder or head. I usually sock the person who said 'lumpkin.' Now people start to say, "Dude, that's a pound." Which is better I guess.
Peace.

Golly, Kiani, to which school do you go? In Lynbrook High School, West San Jose, California, pupils don't call each other lumpkins (what is that supposed to mean, anyways?) and definitely don't sock one another.
I remember you saying something about Mustang being your school mascot and Raiders being the American football team you support. By the second clue, you must live in the S.F. Bay Area. As for Mustangs, I recall that I once saw a high school in San Bruno with Mustangs as its mascot. Do you attend that school? It must be a jolly awful place.
I live in North Highlands/Sacramento border. (Foothill High Mustangs) I used to live 30 mins. away from S.F. (We moved around ALOT.) I've been a Raider fan for years.
It was new to me when I first heard "lumpkin". Now it's stupid and annoying. But they only sock their friends. (A boy did it to my math teacher though.) Usually if they don't now a person they won't sock them. They'll just say lumpkin. Some say "pound" instead, too. But with that you hear people saying, "Why do you say that." which shows that they are from another school area.
Anyway, our school some students came up with thier own games and slang terms. And they sort of passed around the school and to FFJH across the field. Ie.: You know how when you see a slug bug vehicle someone says, "Slug bug! No [slug-bug] tag backs." while they hit/tag your shoulder. They do that same thing but with out-of-state liscence plates. ("Out-of-state liscence plate! No tag backs!") which was new to me. (I do that now.)
My school is weird, it isn't bad but it's just crazy.
Oh yeah. A 'lumpkin' means a 'pound' or a 'sock' on the shoulder. Basically they're saying, "That's a sock on the shoulder." Or in a very explanitory version they're are saying, "You did something stupid or idiotic, therefore, you are about to get socked on your shoulder." (something like that) Understand?
I see. Thank you for your explanation.
