Don't you just hate when you drink too much at a clown's birthday party?

wait a second. Is "faded" a term which has been used for awhile now that I just haven't picked up on. Or is this something the kids are saying which I'm not hip to?

Thats straight real. I fucked myself up. From what I can tell, I crashed my friends bike on the way home a few times. All I remember from the way home is eating shit and sliding for a few seconds.

When you stopped sliding, was someone there to pull the rip cord and yell, "OUT!!"

Well I've been hearing it for a few years, but only started saying it myself about a year ago.

I laughed so hard it made my eyebrow bleed.

Jesus Christ you guys...

Seriously???

The first time I heard the term "faded" must have been 1994! In fact... I think the LAST time I heard it used was probably 1998!

Way to bring it back...

I live in Ky. Many times there are terms that take decades to reach us, if we ever get them. Being at numerous bars, and getting drunk quite frequently these past 5-8 years I have never heard a single person refer to getting drunk as "getting faded".

Weird.

Someone should start a thread for all the bizarre slang in the world.

For example...

Has anybody ever heard the phrase "Getting house" for getting drunk? I always wondered about that one...

Never heard "getting house"...heard "getting hosed" if that was a mistype. Something I found funny is a cousin of mine went out with a guy from Califronia and he had never heard the term "holler" to describe living up a holler, or 'I'm never going up to that holler, those people are crazy'. I use that term 3 times or more in a month, it was funny to see someone who had never heard it.

Lexington. However, one side of my family is from eastern Ky where most of the hollers are.

I was born in Covington, up by Cincy. I've heard the term when I go back there, but I don't think I've ever used it in my life.


Now saying "getting faded" makes me want to find my old tupac cd and go pop a cap.

Never heard of it from up in NY. Speaking of strange slang, the Australians say "Pissed off" to mean drunk. Though most people already knew that.

I confess to being amused that a thread I began with an amusing picture has turned into a discussion about phrases and accepted choice of words in various areas (for lack of a better description.
