The Slang Remains the Same

Wed. 11/14/07 6:23pm From: Ike

No, no no no no. Shorty = child!

Wed. 11/14/07 6:24pm From: Ike

But I've heard it used in numerous episodes of "The Wire"!

Wed. 11/14/07 6:25pm From: krex

used to be used for 'kid' alot - more often for a chick now.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:25pm From: Jonathan

Nope. Shorty = Your girlfriend. She's usually "shorter" than you are. "Going to the party with my shorty"

USED to mean child but now means a honey....

Wed. 11/14/07 6:27pm From: Duncan

They definitely used it to mean girl on The Wire.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:27pm From: Ike

Damn that long lead time for production of "The Wire"! All the slang is outdated by now! Ummmm and also I'm way behind on the DVDs.

Chat Room Slang Submission:

LUCY (I assume it's spelled this way)

(Jersey City slang?)

Wed. 11/14/07 6:35pm From: krex

hmmm - I remember 'loosies'.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:37pm From: mouse

I know, I just figured that if a kid wrote it they'd spell it LUCY.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:38pm From: CB

This guy on the phone doesn't know what he's talking about! Shorty is -girlfriend-. There are numerous hit songs on the radio currently who use it in this way, including one where "Shorty" is in the chorus.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:40pm From: krex

I've heard 'hoopty' used to mean 'something kewl'. I think that guy was off on his slang.

Clearly, tall women are currently out of style. And because I'm always out of style, I hereby invite all those sadly neglected tall women to go out with me. Rowr.

Wed. 11/14/07 6:41pm From: TRocks

BS, KREX, hoopty is a car. It's always been a car.

How about the verb phrase "to Heino it?"

definition: 1. to sing a song (especially a German song) badly and in a generally creepy way; 2. to sing in the manner of the German singer Heino.
