Felchy. It's used to indicate something so cool, that normal "appropriate" words wouldn't be fit to describe it. As in, "Oh my God, GTA plus hash is straight up felchy."

Guhmtelfitrickbers. They are creatures; the word was actually created to this final form by TKG, but I was involved too, since I made up the acronym from which the word originates.

Quote:
Green Mysterious Tentacled Lifeforms in the Recreation Commons Bathroom
They started to manifest themselves in the Alpha Centauri Democracy Game when this green thing behind the men's urinal in the Recreation Commons developed sentience. No, the place hadn't been sweeped for a long time...

In the town I'm from in Upstate New York everyone says the word "Wicked" in place of "very". It has been losing its cool over the last few years but those of us who grew up together still like it.

"Hey, that looks wicked cool."
"I feel wicked tired"
"mmm, this cake is wicked delicious."

I think we all thought we were surfers or something.

When I was living in Tokyo, several of my chinese friends said:
"Okay Nokay?"
It comes from old video games that used to say, in English:
Ok/Nk? It was sort of like a yes or no question. I thought it was fun so I have been using it ever since...

Thats cool! I think Good Will Hunting takes place in Boston and I have been told that alot of Upstate New York slang comes from Boston - so it would make a lot of sense.

i usually create a new class of word by adding F*ck somewhere in the middle, such as "disconf*ckulated" or worse yet; "disconf*ckulamatized." other good ones, "def*ckinbauchery" for when you've been up to no good, or something rather unique "schizled," (pronounced ShEYE-zld) for being screwed out of something...

Wutangification Station: A place where you are wutangified.

Corpsification: To be made into a corpse.

Trouserified: To have been made into trousers.

Yolst & Lambie: A mixture of toothpaste and warm oatmeal, spread on one's face, thereby making one attractive to members of the opposite sex.

Ghost Ham: The name pretty much says it all.

Schmork: A device created by taking several pieces of plastic and melting them together, often in an empty coffee can partially filled with gasoline.

Schmo Slab: A device created by taking a Schmork and pounding chocolate-chip cookie dough (also known as a "dough slab") onto it.

Glormgilly: A substance that will (among other things) restore your ability to walk through walls, prevent your being transformed into a labrador retriever, and end pumpkin bombardments.

Haunt Gun: A device used to prevent somebody (whom you have recently killed) from haunting you. It must be used within five seconds of the victim's death, otherwise you will go horribly insane two years later when the victim's phantom attacks you while you are happy-go-lucky. The only other way to escape this phantom is to kill yourself, whereby you will be doomed to haunt yourself for all eternity.

Thats a Maine thing too. We say "wicked" in Maine all the time. It is probably an all around New England thing.

Strangly enough, everyone here in Buffalo thinks I'm very strange for saying "wicked."
Thinking about it now, I find it a little strange they think this becuase the Buffalo accent shares a lot linguistically with the Boston accent... but I guess accents and slang are communicated seperately...

"Wicked" was big in California about 20 years ago. It was the natural successor to "bad." Wasn't there a line in the 60's song Leader of the Pack: "Eh, he's good bad, but he's not evil."

Tell her to get a cat. Years ago, a friend of mine told me he had a ghost in the back of his house. Many of his friends told him they had seen him too--a young man, always walking away. Several months later, I asked why he hadn't mentioned the ghost, and he said no one had seen it since he'd gotten his cat.
