I got the biggest laugh from some oldsters one day when I blurted out "damn my dogs are barking!" which means your feet hurt.

Urinating.....changes over the years....

My Dad: "I need to have a Jimmy" = Cockney Rhyming slang....Jimmy Riddle (rhymes with) piddle
OR "I need to spend a penny".....back in the day (1960s and earlier)...public toilets needed 1 penny coin to enter. (btw I think it's more like 40p nowadays....not that you'd want to use one...for more than one reason)

Fast-foward a generation:

Me: "I need to have a slash"....means the same thing....to urinate.....I have no idea why...just the phrase we used as teens....and I still use
OR "I need to have a waz"......again, I have no idea where the phrase came from....

I don't have much interaction with teenagers nowadays (in my mid-40s....no kids)...I suspect if one of them wanted to use the toilet...I'd need to say "what?"

Bogart....SEE ALSO .... YORTBOGEY
'Bogart' meant to hold on to a joint too long without passing it-- the origin comes from the actor, Humphrey Bogart, who had an iconic style of performing an entire scene with a cigarette dangling from his lower lip for an extraordinarily long time with 'cool' effect.

i still ask folks if they feel like smokin' a doobie ... i like the way the phrase rolls off the tongue :) and just the other night without thinking i told some young gal who was runnin on at the mouth (with someone else's joint burning up in her hand) "don't bogart that joint" lol :)
 
This thread is BOSS! Makes me wanna score a five finger lid for ten bucks. Roll up some prego joints and sell them for fifty cents. Or maybe a nickel of Columbo at five dollars a finger and roll up a few pinners to sell for a buck. Hope the fuzz don't catch me and take it away (so they can smoke it). Take the rest over to the spot and fire it up with some friends, pass it around and get wasted. Bitch at the bogard for not passing it. Getting wasted makes me wanna ball.
Yea, that'ud be far out.
