I was all bummed out because my best friends girlfriend's bday party was last night and I couldn't go. I wasn't bummed out because I couldn't go. I was bummed out because Kid'N'Play showed up last minute. Had I known in advance I could have made arrangements to go and I could've been dancing like we used to back in the day.
Okay, I could've been watching them dance like we used to back in the day.

Re: (vicki)
"What does wicked housed mean?"...Sheesh! You guys only have one decade's worth of slang memory or something? Or are you just really young? How can you have gone through the early 90's without knowing what wicked housed means?
Did anyone eles notice how many people's friend's girlfriends and friend's sisters had birthdays this weekend? Strange...

Re: (MinisterofDOOM)
The usual. Drank some cans, went to a pub, then went to a nightclub and drank some more, then went back to friends and drank more. Just an average saturday night.
Must be an eastcoast phrase. I've never heard "wicked housed" in my entire life. Even as street vernacular it makes no sense, as it doesnt allude to or imply anything.
On Saturday I was in a hotel room in Columbia MO complaining about how much Mizzou sucks and how much I hate football. Cancelled a date for it. Damn me. Going back to Columbia later today to get my brother from school (only 250mi round trip).
Right now I'm drinking Boulevard Pale Ale (ITS SO GOOD with pizza) and burning Bad Santa, Scary Movie 3, and Butterfly Effect to a DVD.

It doesn't need to be but it can be. My friends and I always say wicked housed. It's amazing how many people have problems with the use of slang. Slang is intended to ease communication between you and your friends due to common understanding of another "word", be it made up or not. Everyone seems to say something whenever I use it here. Do you people not communicate with real people? (Not directed at you Hashiriya) I got crap for using wicked before... then it was dank... now it's how I preceed housed with wicked. lol. jeez

Re: (vicki)
I've noticed that each time you get crap for using a word, you tend to use it much more afterward than you did before. Any correllation there, or just coincidence?
Re: (vicki)
wow, didnt know wicked housed meant really drunk or high. i thought it meant like stuck at your dorm or house or seomthing..
im out of the cool loop

Actually "dank" is commonly used by urban St Louisans (or St Louisans pretending to be urban). Its meaning is pretty fluid, depending on the situation or level of intoxication.
Here in West County, we're hardcore -- we use formal english. Go to the loop or further into the city and it all changes.
"Wicked housed" does sound like it should mean "stuck at home" though.Of course, it isn't supposed to make complete sense; such is the nature of slang. I do wonder though how "intoxicated" ever became "housed".
The "real" people in my part of town use standard english. No accents, no colloquialisms.

Re: so who else is wicked housed? (vicki)
ARGH. I have no idea why my previous post didn't go through...
Anyway, I was basically saying on my previous thread that everything in life has different interpretations and language and its usage is no different.
Here's the dictionary's interpretations of it:
slang ( P ) Pronunciation Key (slng)n.
1. A kind of language occurring chiefly in casual and playful speech, made up typically of short-lived coinages and figures of speech that are deliberately used in place of standard terms for added raciness, humor, irreverence, or other effect.2. Language peculiar to a group; argot or jargon: thieves' slang.
Language peculiar to a group... which means that if my region, school, or friends choose to take a word and make up an alternate meaning for it, then it becomes slang, regardless of whether or not it's universally recognized.
You say that slang as to have a correlation to its original meaning? Every word has a different meaning, sometimes those meanings have no direct correlation to one another but that doesn't mean that it isn't the definition of the word. If you look at Japanese for example.... there are certain words that mean different things.... like "simatta" can mean closed or it can mean "damn" or any of your favorite explitives. Doesn't have to do with the original meaning but it's universally accepted as a word. I'm surprised a scholar such as yourself isn't aware of this.
We wealthy east coasters are perfectly capable of speaking and writing in formal proper English. Such is the result of a good education afforded by plentiful resources. However, the younger generation tend to dislike sounding like a prude with a stick up our behinds so we incorporate slang into our daily speech. Would I go up to my professor and say, "Dude, your lesson was wicked cool!" Most definitely not. If you southerners and westcoasters want to sound prim and proper all the time, by all means do so. I am not one to try and restrict or mock the actions and decisions of others. I guess it comes with the liberal, open-minded east coast mentality.

Slang can come out of nowhere, and often does. But a context for its origin is always welcome, though not required.
We dont really use slang in this part of town. We just... dont. *shrug* I don't think its intentional self-censorship. There's just no reason, context, or need -- slang isnt a part of our culture. And no matter what age group, we still stick to plain english. I guess its easier to talk to different people that way. No one really feels a need here to 'stick it to the man' and change terms for the sake of changing them.
Drive into the city here where its less culturally homogenous and it changes somewhat. Tthis doesnt mean I intentionally beef up or over-formalize my english to snub my friends in the densely populated parts of town (or my friends in the agrarian counties with a heavy drawl); I speak the way I naturally speak, they speak the way they naturally speak, and at some point we do some mild reinterpreting and understand each other. Language doesn't separate or define people here, it just gives a point of reference to where you came from. You have liberals in the city and conservatives further out, but we manage to get along well. I wouldn't say anyone is more or less open minded than anyone else, since these silly things usually boil down to a difference in neighborhood culture.
You can drive down the same road and suddenly find yourself in a 99% black neighborhood. You can drive a few minutes the other way and youre suddenly in a mixed college town. Drive west and you'll be in the wealthy neighborhoods among doctors and lawyers. Go south to Cape G or further east into Illinois and you could suddenly hearing southern accents.
Slang isnt much of an issue in the northwest either, unless you go to Capitol Hill (Seattle bohemian neighborhood) or Ashland, Oregon (popular marijuana town). Coffeehouse slang applies, I guess, but thats jargon more than it is slang. I always felt like a moron asking for a 'venti' coffee with half and half, so I called it a 'large' (as our locally owned coffeehouses here call it in St Louis) and the barista understood.
Anyway... I ate some lasagna and now I'm hella captioned.

Re: so who else is wicked housed? (vicki)
i just felt left out vicki, cuz i didnt know what wicked housed meant! you evil meanie
I think its fairly misinformed to presume to speak "proper English," as I would assume that those in England would lay better claim to such a fact. Moreover, the English lexicon is fluid, what is "slang" today is "proper" tomorrow. The reason for this - it seems to me, and I think anyone who is a writer in any sense would agree - is that language is painfully inadequate at times. So, from the genesis of spoken language, there has been innovation to add new and different connotations, to add some greater explanatory power, or greater precision to the language. The object will always be to say as much as possible in as few words as possible, and "slang" - with subjectively agreed upon connotations - often is the best means at acheiving that.
Oh, btw, when I was younger, the word "house" meant to knock somone out or hit them hard, e.g. That kid got housed by Jermaine O'Neal on Friday night.

hardcore is not a term of severity, as much as society seems to have adopted it as such, it is a genre of music. i know because its a lot of what i listen to. and dont listen to mtv when they say linkin park and bands on ozzfest are hardcore, because they have no clue.
and that concludes my part in this language rant...carry on lol
