Funny? Not sure! But the one that puzzles me most is when people use an opposite word to describe what they mean. I once bought my granddaughter a beautiful piece of jewelry, that I was certain she would like. She teared up when she saw it and said "This is so sick!"
I told her I'd return it and she could come with me to pick something she [b]would [/b] like. She laughed and hugged me and said no no Nana, I love it.
??Really?? It sure didn't sound like love. But apparently sick is wonderful, bad is good, hot is cool, etc.
@Amylynne Trying to think of some examples for you but it's like going to the doctor with a pain that miraculously disappears when you want to have it!
Where I come from we use the word “twat” a lot. Has 3 meanings: 1. A silly person - “You daft twat!” 2. A concussive collision - “I just twatted my head bloody hard!” 3. Female genitalia. I won’t go into that, as it’s a bit rude.
Not really a slang commonly used in my area but my mom uses the word "gonorrhea" as term for an idiotic or contemptible person that my sister and I have come to use in the same manner as well.
@bijouxbroussard Here it's "wild" instead of "wicked"; as in "She's wild smart". Some of these slang words are so common it's easy to forget they're not universal.
