Top Ten Contagious Words
these are words ive caught of other people jsut by hearing them over and over.. they are all words i commonly use and make up my rather unique everyday vocabulary.
10. sketchy
i got this one from Dan Lynch, a guy from my high school, who u most likely have never met. he is a pretty sketchy character. =p he made a point of purposely saying this word alot to spread it to other ppl.. and ive been stuck with it for about 4 years now...
9. crapsticks
this is a present from hunt. this probly deserves to be higher since ive even managed to spread it to the odd person here and there... i dont really like this one, but i cant really weed it out of my vocabulary.
8. whack
this is whack.. im heated up like a thermostat. doesnt really like in the conventional sense, but it sounds good in the song Lovesick by Gangstarr (get the mp3 on kazaa). its like the only line from the song i really remember well.. and whilst in japan we did a lot of attempted rapping. so i started saying everything was totally whack..
7. sic
i dun really know where this came from, but i do remember deehunt saying it a lot whilst we were at Blackstump last year.
6. mad
this has slowly been replaced by sic, but after working with this guy mike karbouris at work, i kept saying that everything was mad.. grr..
5. lightbulb
this is a term i picked up whilst in HK, apparently some word in canto for lightbulb vaguely sounds like some other word which means something like third wheel. i have no idea really.. but when i use it context around a honkie they always seem to find it funny.
4. ludicrous
i got this from repeatedly watching the movie Spaceballs. i used to say "ridiculous" all the time, and i kinda palmed that off onto Chito.. cos he says it heaps now. but i personally am saying ludicrous more and more everyday =)
3. wah lao
wah lao.. this ranks high cos pretty much every1 picked it up for a while from hearing sheralyns Singlish all the time =p its sorta been phased out though with the dissipation of anime club into some hardly recogniseable vapour.
2. totally
i can blame the Tan family for this one. i think i first heard it from Tracey, but i caught it from Shelly. this ranks up high cos i use it in front of almost every adjective now and even in front of the occasional verb =p totally whack, totally sic, totally mad..
1. woe
its a fair ways off snow season, but i cant hurt to start early. woe is the word of the winter.. it always seems to surface in sentences such as "this is so woe, that woebag totally woed up my board". this is another hunt word.. so he gets to rank twice =p im suprised there havent been any basketball words in here....
