Sjakie means... loser or something, in a funny way. You can say 'sjakie' in someone's face. :)

I'm not gonna say the usual Australian slang like "fair dinkum" etc coz I neva use these words.

Expert - Somebody who is really good at a video game.
Expert (with a sarcastic tone of voice) - somebody who really sux @ a video game, but somehow does well in it.
Tosser - Loser (but I don't use this word much)
Truly - Means "really"? I learnt this when I was in Cairns
Goodo - Good
Root - To have sex
Shazza - Really Australian woman with an annoying whinging accent who has probably taken many drugs (Shazza is slang for Sharon).
Legit - Somebody who is not legitimite (sp?) E.g. You see this guy driving a Ferriari who is wearing thongs and a singlet.
Yobbo - Really Australian person (offensive term)
Skip - Another really Australian Person (offensive term)
Wog - European backgrounded Australian Person (offensive term). I'm a wog :D
Bogan - Australian person who is a loser
Derro - Same as above

Did you come up with those on your own? How many people in different states do you know that use that slang? Do you feel it's especially creative slang?

Do you have any slang that you personally devised?

I've never heard of that one, but I wonder if it's meant to be spelled 'serial', as in 'serial killer'. A serial killer is pretty serious, so saying something is serial would make more sense to me.

Just commenting..

i love slang! i mostly use it as code though. some things i say that people usually need explained are:

bee-tha-wee/ means by the way
yummy scrumbos/ delicious
schwankey/ fancy
naff/ bad, wrong, stupid (i'm pretty sure this is an english expression)
poncy tosser/ girly loser boy (english again?)

and like Dylflon said:

Dang Skippy (as in damn straight) i usually say 'dang' just because it sounds funnier *shrug*

If I get your meaning (considering you don't use 'legit' in your e.g. :)), that reminds me of a joke we say a lot. Whenever someone revs their car loudly or jumps their gas or any numerous macho things with their car as you're walking alongside, we'll say, "JESUS, that guy's penis was so big it nearly hit me in the face." Or any numerous variations on that joke.

Which also reminds me of some Bostonian slang that a Bostonian friend taught me.

"Mikey Muscles, Tommy Toughnuts, and Bobby Bigwheels."

Mikey Muscles = Guy who shows off his muscles with muscle-shirts, even if he has little to no muscles.

Tommy Toughnuts = Guy who doesn't move out of the way for people walking by. Often will knock shoulders in the process or on purpose and talk **** because the other guy didn't move out of the way enough.

Bobby Bigwhells = Guy with a huge, unnecessarily jacked-up truck. Often the guy is a small and squeacky-voiced. Often found in Texas (where I live). :sneaky:

But don't get me wrong, I love Texas.

I only have one new one to add today, and its slightly obvious and self explanitory, for you people who need me to explain things more often.;)


Explain= Splain


As in " Lucy, you got some splain'in to do!!"

Here are mine..

Mad: a substitute for "very" (That was mad good)
Grindage: food (I'm gonna go get some grindage)
Served: see GameMaster's explanation
Rad: cool (That was so rad)
Righteous: when something is very cool
Holy Detonators: from the old batman! I say it from time to time.
****tard: when someone is extremely stupid

Those are my used slang along with most of my friends in the area. Of course you have the ghetto slang, but I'm against most of that crap.

****tard sure has grown. I remember using it on gamingforce 3 years ago. Some guy claimed he invented it, but we really made it famous there. Now it's branched out. Heh.

How can you say ya'll made it famous? How do you really know? I've used the word tard my whole life, since my parents and many other older people use it from time to time.

****tard just seems like a natural progression of tard; in other words, not particularly clever. :p

EDIT: Oh by the way, I like flawgic. I'll be using that one..

usual stuff when playing video games:


"I got my mom raped" - i got beaten badly

"this is fuc*ing some bull$#!t" - not really slang but i use it at least 20 times every halo game (it's improper to put the f word AFTER "some")

"i'm out like a fat girl playing dodgeball" - I'm leaving

"this is teh blows" - this sucks (i hate myself for talking like i do on the internet, but oh well)
