In fact just the other day I hopped the trolley following this bearcat because I was trying to take a peek at her gams as I was carrying a torch for her chassis, when this little ragamuffin who couldn't have been more than like fifteen started to beat his gums trying to bum a gasper and I told him to dry up and he just kept flapping on and on like he was on the giggle water from the gin mill and I was like yo this little Palooka thinks he's hard boiled when if he were just a few years older i'd smack the sap for his rubes but i'm not trying to go on the lam on account of this roustabout. So anyways long story short I'll be hitting on the sixes when I get my iron back from the mechanic even though it's a real hayburner. At least I've been able to save some buffalos for some real top notch hootch down at the juice joint, I'm pretty ossified right now actually as you can probably tell from these run on sentences. It ain't my fault yo, I'm just grummy I didn't get to talk to the philly and i been lollygaggin around on account of me missing out on that tomato earlier on a trip for bicuits.. oh well this tea's got me swank right now anyways.
oh man, in montreal there's so much franglais (french and english smashed together) it's nearly impossible to keep track of lingo. it all blurs. i hear "fuck, le" about 200 times a day.
there's this western ohio down into kentucky speak ive heard floating around- usually it comes from ages 16-25. ive heard it called bula-speak. essentially it's a bunch of exclamations that are accepted, but dont make sense. people will say a word like "elemon-jidis" (emphasis on the "jidis.") or they'll say "joma-jonis" or "joma-jidis" or ive heard someone say "joma-jawndis" or "oh my jidis" or just "jidis."
also... lots of "ooshalaffa." and when people say "whats up" they say "whashep"
i hope this bula, doesnt exist anywhere outside of the midwest. but part of me hopes it does- it's kind of interesting.
"let's go get a sippy"-have a few drinks or get drunk
"cant i get a putch?"-can i hit that weed
"putchy"-weed, like "pass the putchy from the lefthand side"
"clipped"-really high, like "that herb got me clipped"
"road soda"-a beer for the road
"naw naw"-food when you got the munchies
"lynched"-hungover
On the streets here, we got a spanglish lingo. Thats spanish blended with english. You'll hear stuff like "Hey man, como estas?" or "Oh my God, chequea esas nalgas de esa mujer!" and "entonce, yo fui, know what I'm saying, y el cabron no quiere darme mi dinero"
Spanish is the dominating language but with english phrases thrown in.
