For my dad
Language, linguistics, native mother tongue,
popular lingo, informal slang slung,
idiom, dialect, modified talk,
common vernacular, everyday squawk!
Verbal expressions, current spoken word,
colloquial chatter, pop-slang preferred,
daily dialogue, indigenous speak,
now, let’s sling a little slang – tongue-in-cheek!
Sweet! Wicked! Awesome! Go for it! You ROCK!
Jacked! Stoked! Psyched! Bring it on, more slangy talk:
I’m so there! She’s all that! Boys ‘n da hood,
Have a good one! Good to go! It’s all good!
Totally! To die for! I’m jazzed! No doubt!
‘Been there, ‘done that; whatever, check it out.
Get over it! Chill, dude, that’s how I roll.
What’s the bottom line? Just shut yer pie hole!
Hey, Buddy! Pound it! Whasup? Dialed in?
Wanna hookup? Gnarly! It’s a win-win!
What’s the take away? Dumb down! Duh! No fair!
At the end of the day, I'm good! Take care!
Domestic language, common word and phrase,
daily dialogue, plain ol’ talk these days!
Verbal expressions, indigenous speak,
sling a little slang – it’s all ‘bout technique.
Idiom, linguistics, popular talk,
common vernacular, everyday squawk!
Now, let’s lingo on one last slangy note:
You GO, girl! Git ‘er done! That’s all she wrote!
