SLANG!

[Razael: The Angel Slayer]

Here in Australia there are alot of different cultures, all of which have their own slang.
Australians themselves are the only nation of people with their own dictionary (Consisting of all their own coloquialisms).

In Denmark we have no slang but on my trip to Japan they sometimes say things backwards....like shi-Su for Sushi or ja-Nin for Ninja, is that Japanese Slang? .
America has a lot of slang too, like fishizzle (what ever that means...I think it has something to do with snoopy).

So, Fellow-forum-freaks, is there something i'm missing?
Fill me in, educate me in this thing called SLANG.

Love Razael

It's "fo'shizzle." It means "for sure."

Fishizzle has nothing to do with Snoopy.

Here in America, we have a dialect called Ebonics that some black people speak; it has very little grammatical rules and is pretty much adding "fo'sho" and "izzle" to the ends of words.

As for slang that I know, uh...it's not slang to me. I use the word "ain't." That's not a real world, but screw it. Some people try to tell me that "y'all" isn't a word, and that just shows that they plainly don't know that a contraction can be anything if used properly.

[Shlup]

I don't think "fo'sho" and the "izzles" count as ebonics. Those are just "street." Ebonics just has words like... instead of "ask" its "aks." Ridiculous stuff like that.

That's a lot of slang. A lot.

Why does Snoop need an umbrella? Fo'drizzle.

fo'shizzle was made popular by Snoop Doggy Dogg, which was probably where you got Snoopy from.

Ebonics is more of a shortening of words into easier pronunciation or just very bad grammer (ie. saying "I be here" rather than "I am here"). If you want a fantastic example of Ebonics, the book Their Eyes Were Watching God is written entirely in it.

Wtf?

And btw, not only black people use ebonics...and yes, I know ebonics is a combo of "ebony" and "phonics", but still...that's irrelivant.

Foo.

STRUTH RUTH!!!

Here in England, we abbreviate everything. Unfortunately, it's now getting to the point where you cannot have a conversation with someone without them abbreviating at least 90% of the words in their sentence. Of course, I don't do this, my friends do, and it's annoying.

We also have many different accents, which confuse a lot of people. If you travel for one hour west from my home town, everyone speaks "Skallie". If you travel South-West for two hours, everyone speaks "Welsh", which is even worse. And, if you travel North-East for about three hours, everyone speaks "Geordie", which is almost impossible to understand (for me, anyway).

xD That cracked me up, man. Anyway, where I live now and where I used to live in England both use helluva different slang words. But I quite like slang, it's mink.
