Currently cool slang you will not touch

[mollyringle]

What is the local currently-hip slang word or phrase that you refuse to use?

I'm not saying it has to offend you (like calling stupid stuff "gay") - just something you don't use, because it isn't you.

For me, here in northern California, it's "hella." (Both as "very" and as "a lot of": "That test was hella hard." "He got hella bruises from snowboarding.") I thought it was extremely bizarre when I first heard it. I'm getting used to it now, but I still don't use it myself. I would feel like a poser if I did; like one of those sad teachers trying to sound cool. Even though I'm not exactly ancient.

Anyway. What is it in your area?

"shiz" is most likely short for sure. Unless that doesn't fit in the context, and then they've probably just corrupted another word. I just have to wonder where they get these things from.

(now you probably think i'm the random werido..)
