Creating your own language among friends

What are some of your words or phrases that will never wind up in the dictionary. e.g. words that only you and your friends understand.
For example,
A friend of mine at work likes Southpark as do I. So when the Jersy Shore episode came out -Kyles mom used the word Garbage, or, "Your Muff is garbage" but it was pronounced CABBAGE.
We laughed at that and later we simply called eachother "Cabbage Muff" or "Cabbage" for short.
I work in a manufacturing plant and later used the term " Cabbage" to describe bad or scrap parts he made or is making.
Recently jobs that are particlarily difficult or have lots of mistakes in the instruction are called "Hot Cabbage".
OK well I guess you had to be there...
Anyone else play this kind of word game?
Another word used is Throttle-mash, clownface to the 1st person who guesses it. |

LOL, yeah, I have tons with my fiance. Half the we talk about would sound like a different language to anyone eavesdropping.
The first one started years ago at Christmas lunch at her parents place. Her sister's bogan husband told me that I "have to have some punkin" [sic] (meaning pumpkin) and proceeded to serve me heaps onto my plate. He'd done something weird to it on the BBQ, and it didn't look appetising at all. When he walked off, I whispered to my fiance "the punkin freaks me out" and since then, every thing that's freaky or weird is "a bit punkin". The term also expanded to anything when we're just messing/joking around.
"What are you doing?"
"Just punkining around".
There are tons more, lol. |

Curiously, I made cabbage soup today and therefore literally ate some Hot Cabbage. I'm sure the guy at work will get a kick out of that. :cool: |

Every workplace has its own share of lingo and unique words, but military probably tops it.
my two favourite words from working in the army
-un: to fix your screw up
-pump: absolute moron |

| My friends and I say "dog face" for something that is bad. Comes from a friend having bad mushroom trip and she went to a 'dark place', but she was so ed up all she could keep muttering was 'dog face'. |

among my transgender friends we have many code words and euphemisms. one of my favorites is 'breeder', which is the word we use to talk about straight, cisgender people, especially straight cis-men.
between my partner and i, we share many of these sorts of things too. |

That's a pretty old one, not so unique, I'd say. Quite a few of my gay friends use it, referring to straight couples :p |

| Yeah, "breeder" started in the gay community, I think, and is really common. Also adopted by "childfree" people of all orientations, more recently. |
