SLANGING OUT
THE LATEST “IT” TERMS BEING DROPPED
From time to time, we like to bring you, our faithful readers, a little bit of the new slang that Gen Ys are using in their daily lives. To do this we troll the blogosphere, stalk our friends’ Facebook status updates, talk to people on the street, and ask our trend reporters what new slang they’re using and hearing. Here’s a taste of some new vocab that may have otherwise made you go “huh?” upon hearing it:
Shamelust
v. coined by fashion/pop culture blogger White Lightning in a post she wrote for Street Carnage, this word is used to describe being totally disgusted and attracted to someone at the same time.
“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m totally shamelusting for the no-neck guy in the Ed Hardy shirt who offered us body shots off his abs.”
GTL
v. an acronym for the phrase “Gym, Tanning, Laundry,” which is the daily primping ritual popularized by Jersey Shore cast members.
“Dude, if you wanna come off as fresh in the club, you gotta GTL every single day.”
Jam It
v. a retort used to tell someone you do not like what they are telling you; similar to “shut up.”
“Ughhh, we are eating breakfast here, I don’t want to hear what you and your man did in bed last night – jam it, lady!”
Your Team/My Team
n. a phrase used to distinguish someone you have a crush on from someone to whom you would never be attracted. This developed out of a game, most often played at bars or parties, in which players collect “cool”-looking people for their imaginary teams, while filling up their friends’ teams with people they deem unattractive or funny.
“See that blonde lady wearing a leopard print coat, feathers in her hair and a beaded necklace? She’s on my team. See that LARPer wearing guyliner? He’s on your team.”
Unicorn Puncher
n. a term used to describe someone who, in the face of cute overload (whether it be in a blog or conversation), undermines their adorableness with something gross.
“We were all watching that Kittens Inspired By Kittens video, and then this Unicorn Puncher put on a zit-popping video. So gross!”

Good weblog article. I arrived on the internet to find exactly where to watch nfl football games online and somehow arrived across your blog. You ought to create a article on how you can watch football on the internet since it is a popular subject right now. I used Google and only came up with this website http://www.usedshoe.com/wordpress2/2007/10/03/watch-every-nfl-game-online-for-free/ but need some much more options.
