slang used for things like gold, diamonds, jewelry, fancy wheels, cars etc... Sparkly, fancy stuff

 

Well Dave,, I'm kinda in the same boat as you

.
But I do think it has something to do with SHINY stuff.

Now don't that make you feel a little

 

When I think of "bling" I think of something there more for appearance than for function. This could also include a long-arm lift and winch on a jeep that won't see anything more severe than a parking lot. Maybe I'm getting

too.

 

Don't feel bad.
I had to have it explained to me too.

I have since learned also - that it is another one of those terms that can mean either good (cool stuff) or bad (stoopid stuff).

Kinda like - "Yo, that ride is BAD"

Or "that girl is Phat" (not fat)

And to think we drove our parents nutz with some of OUR slang.

I am much to young to feel this dang old.

 

you guys confused your parents with words like "Groovey" and "Neato"

imagine what your parents thought when you said your new bike was groovy....they were prolly looking for small lines of grooves on the frame.....

 

Hey Dave, I wonder how many here know about what the "Sam hill" reference you mentioned means. Yes, you still have "Bling".

Jeepers do till they die.

Oh you know!!!

Hank Hill's brother

 

Don't think that "Bling" has made it's way to Webster's yet... didn't check.

But in the world of things with wheels.... here ya go.

Good in the Hood.

Now the more you look at that one... the better it gets... can almost forgive the wheels for the old Ford hood over the Caddy grille. That truely took some work.

I hope to never in my life understand that.

That is off the hizzle, fo' shizzle.

 

Hollar, hollar, hollar!

 

This picture best represents my interpretation of bling. That which is for flash only and has little or nothings (sometimes negative) to do with function. Flash for the sake of flash.

 

"Far out" I've been wondering what Bling was.

Now I can "flip a bitch" and go back to what I was doing.

BLING:

B - Bottom
L - Line
I - Is
N - No
G - Gain

Gnarls.

 

FINALLY........somebody gave an analytical explanation for that term. Now THAT definition sets well with my right-hand engineering brain.

Thanks to all who posted!!!

 

So if I put fancy wheels on my Jeep, has it been "blinged" or has it been "blung"?

 

Now, for RRich, what does "flip a bitch" mean?

New 'Left Coast' term to replace 'having a roll in the hay'?

I dearly hope I'm wrong... A crude phrase almost any way it's used - unless you're rolling your female dog over.

 

Maybe its been "blingified"

 

"Flip a bitch" ---

He He -- it's not anywhere near what you'd think.

I was riding with my step daughter when she said it - heard it lots of times since from others.

Means a U-turn.
Go figure.

I guess it's kinda like "gag me with a spoon."

We had our own language, now it's their turn. My wife teaches high school - sometimes even she can't understand what they are saying.

 

Can you imagine when I first moved over from The Netherlands to Great Britain? I lived in London with my girlfriends parents and her brothers are a right bunch of Cockneys. They use this Cockney rhyming slang. My first reaction to them was "You on drugs mate??"

See if you make sense of this (and they keep inventing new ones)....
