riDictionary.

Over the past few years I've accumulated words that I like and I use them as my own form of jargon. I've gotten lots of comments on my personal slang and I think it's about time I explain some of them.

Naturally, most of my words are ridiculous. So I'm gonna call this my:

riDictionary.


Fly (adj.)
1. Cool. Bring yourself back to the 90's for this one.
In a sentence: "Yo Coolio! I know your crew says your hair is whack but I think it looks fly!"



Grill (noun)
1. Space. Personal bubble, per se. Usually preceded by "all up in my".
In a sentence: "Girlfriend. Your breath smells rank and you are all up in my grill. Take a generous step backwards, por favor."


Homeboy (noun)
1. Boyfriend. I used this one for about 6 months before I admitted I was dating my current manfriend. Speaking of manfriend, it is interchangeable with homeboy in this situation. This word is for those of you that hate the "b-friend" word and wait an awkward amount of time before committing.
In a sentence: "Homeboy cornered me and made me DTR. Guess he's my b-b-b-b-boyfriend now."
2. A male that is annoying you. This can frequently be the homeboy from #1. Most likely is. Ok, like almost always.
In a sentence: "Homeboy. Has it occurred to you since you moved in a year ago to clean your George Foreman?" (That sentence recently passed across my lips at which point homeboy responded, "I don't clean my grill outside, I don't clean my grill inside." He also didn't clean his sheets for 8 months. We're working through some things.)



Hoodrat (noun)
1. Stems from 0:54 in this video. Usually used in reference to a troublemaker or someone that lives in the city, possibly steals cars or wears his pants low enough to make you want to shade Grandma's eyes.
In a sentence: "I took the wheel out of my trunk and put it on my front yard to make room in my car and when I was on my way back I saw some hoodrat walking down the road with it." (Also a true story, courtesy of homeboy who resides in the ATL.)


Junk (noun, sometimes plural.)
1. Privates. Interchangable with "girl parts" or "boyparts", also words in my riDictionary. I try to stay away from crude language and both the "P" and "V" words, so adopting these PG-friendly phrases helps me out.
In a sentence: "Yea, boyshort undies are cute and all but they get all up in my junk when I wear them with jeans."
2. See: Grill. This is often confusing but hopefully when used in context your fellow conversater will get what your sayin.
In a sentence: "I'm trying to concentrate but you're all up in my junk with your heavy breathing and lack of knowledge of personal bubbles."


Nastynasty (noun)
1. Grossness. Especially includes bodily fluids.
In a sentence: "Eventually, I want to have kids but I don't want to deal with all their nastynasty so I'm gonna bring them to my mom's for diaper changes, nose wipes, and spit ups."




Woo (noun)
1. Ya know when you try on pants and they're awkwardly long right in the crotch? So you have that extra inch of fabric hanging down in case of a sex change or something? Yea...that's a woo.
In a sentence: "I was gonna buy this cute pair of jeans but the woo was out of this world. I could've hoarded things in there."


Enjoy your new knowledge of my vocabulary. Wish me luck that words from the riDictionary are on the GRE.
