Notice the first word.... clean.
We are an international community of writers...i think it would be fun and interesting if we created a list of some of our favorite "clean" slang terms.
List the term or phrase and the country of use and of course what it means.....Maybe even use it in context
term: thing-a-ma-jig
Country: USA
definition: any object that you are referring to the name of which you cannot remember
"The thingamajig fell on the floor"
Comment to someone who speaks like a 'know it all'
"Hey I want to talk to the butcher ,not the block"
Wowie Zowie
Originated by a song of the same title written by Frank Zappa in 1966. Used as an expression of irreprisible excitement.
'sup?
a variation of What's up?
USA
means how are you or what is going on with you, or what are you doing
"'Sup cuz?"
"Nothing, 'sup with you?"

For some reason, I'm not coming up with any general ones (I have my own), but I've noticed lately that there seems to be a new multitude of ways to use "blah blah", and it does seem to be being thrown around regularly and by everyone I know.

These days it seems to have become a verb, a noun, an exclamatory, an adjective - whatever anyone wants it to be. I'm actually wondering if, maybe, within about five years, every word in the English language will be replaced with "blah blah", and the whole English-speaking world will sound like Charlie Brown's mother.
(Oh, never mind. I guess she squawked , "Wah wah wah".

I have little to say about Biden's speech to the Nation, other than it was a typical political speech. Filled to the brim with half-truths, and fluffy BS plans that will not make it to see the light of day. . He made an effort to point out what he felt were accomplishments that he seems to feel he...

The Universe is really big, wouldn't the god of the solar system or maybe even god of the planet earth make more sense? How about god of the middle east? That would explain the insanity.
