Today at 11:45 I was asked to think of a slang word or phrase and write it on the board, four hours later and with the help of someone “in the know”, I think I have a few.
Come to find out I’m a “noob”, not only when it comes to gaming, I still can’t make the characters move in the direction I want them too, usually they end up with their faces in a wall. But I am also a noob at the blog phenomenon.
Hopefully I won’t get “owned”; or humiliated by my lack of internet savvy and this blog will become “epic”. Also, for you “squeakers” out there, I won’t post the “potty” language that kept coming to my mind in class.
The use of language can help create an identity, not only for an individual, but for an entire group of people with the same interests.
Language can also be used as power and as an aid to confuse ones parents, we suddenly become the butt of the joke, and we don’t even know it just happened. The coded language of a teenager can be harder to decipher than a T.S. Eliot poem.
But for now, two thumps to the chest and two fingers in the air, “Peace Out”!
I remember when the "rents" were hoplessly un hip. Now I'm resigned to never being hip again my ownself
ReplyDeletelol nice use of gamer slang ^-^
ReplyDeleteHip was crusing the strip,white bucks,ducktails and running home from school to watch American Band Stand to learn the latest dance craze so you could be the coolest dancer at the next sok-hop. Cool was the hip word of the day not hip, rad, or wiked awesome.
