So every little group has their lingo... we just heard plenty about the
beat talk and that's dandy, but what about the now? And what of that is hip?
Sure, you've got your 'cat', your 'kitten', your 'dig' 'dug' and 'groove'
but that's just not cutting edge for *this* conformist. What's new? What's
hip? I go to a party and bob my head as I enter. I've got my winks and
points down to a science, but sometimes I find the lingo to be just not as
swinging as it should be.
So here's a list of a few 'new' terms I've found useful in putting up
the COMPLETE pose. "Shabooby" is a big one. Sounds a little funny at first,
but once you get cozy with it, it's like the tune of the pied piper. To be
used as, "Let's Shabooby, Scooby" to let a peer know that you're ready to
leave the area. This can also be used as, "Hey, Scooby. Let's Shabooby" for
a very similar effect. Another phrase I've found useful is "Cabe steez".
Yeah, another one sounding a bit goofy at first but you'll come around. This
is to let one know that you're quite confident in your television remote
abilities. Often times this is used as, "Hey, you shit, don't fuck with my
cabe steez" when you find someone changing a show that you were enjoying.
Lastly, all carbonated, caffinated, dark beverages are to be known as
"Sodi-Cola", all alcohol is to be know as "pain go bye-bye", and all in
agreement say "sweet jewish wine!"
Unfortunately, this list of hip new terms is short and unsatisfying. If
there's any of you decent enough to take this seriously, please help us all
out with your list of words and phrases that have that old modernist feel.
Well, I've got to shabooby.
Love,
