Thread: Word trends.

I was wondering what ever happend to "Что что". Is it just me... or does nobody say this anymore ?I remember like a year ago, most chicks would be like "Что что"... insead of the single что, or чего. I heard this on russian radio too. Then, it seems like, i didn't hear it as much. and now, after summer, and a few more months, i realize i havn't heard что что one time... in a long time. Also, it seems like чего went to just чё ... i like that ! Any other... word trends like this going on ??

In english, on the west coast anyways. tons of people "including myself" replace the word "really" with "hella" and the word "cool" with "tight"... i don't know why, it started in like 5th grade and i thought it was dumb, but it cought on. now it's not showing anysigns of stoping. Some examples might be like,

*someguy* We have a subsitute teacher today.
*dogboy* nu uh! that's hella tight!

Also, seems like just about everyone replaces the word "dumb/ stupid" with the word gay. Nothing you can really do about that... i think just about EVERYONE (here) says that. If you don't like it, then that's гей =P

So what are some cool/ slangy trendy words/ phrases flaoting around the streets of russia?

Hehe, you were one of those people who said hella, eh? I hang up on people if they say hella to me over the phone.

I like to stick with 'bitchen' and 'cool'.

Yeah, it's hella gay when you really do not want to use certain slangwords, but end up using them anyway. I remember I was really against the word 'vet' in Holland ('phat'), but now I use it almost daily... The only thing I flatly refuse to say is 'Hej chici, kankah fajah chilluh op een waterbed fattoe ouwe leipe shit egwel nix dusss...'

LOL, i never said Phat !!! ahhh, that's was just weak. (weak is another one =P, meaning uncool)
