Whatevs … Is Totes Stoops …
In a brief piece, ENOUGH ALREADY! - Whatevs, Slang Is Totes Stoops In Charge, Vice magazine writers declare the end of cultish obsessive slang fads:
So, to be clear, here’s what’s out: whatevs, ’tevs, gnarls, defs, probs, stoops, totes. Adding “-wise,” “status,” “much?” or “in charge” to the ends of words. Calling things “tight.” Or “sick.” “Redonks” or “ridics.” Any variation of the word “delicious” and anything you ripped off from Epicly Later’d. We’re sad to say that “riffing” has to go too. Although let’s say something happens where a joke is passed on from friend to friend and you call it a “riffle effect”—that’s clever. Clever is good. We encourage creativity with language. Puns are still OK. Making up your own in-joke words with your friends is great—using other people’s is lame.
I happen to agree, and I’m relieved that someone who uses this kind of slang in public situations, unashamedly, was the one who totes forwarded this to me. Awesome. However, what Vice doesn’t mention is there is now a slang vacuum, if you will, which needs filling up. So. My thought is this. Let’s make the world safe for vagina-rooted slang words. It’s time. The vagina has gone fully public, thanks to Ms. Hilton and Ms. Spears et al; so I believe now it is time for vaj-words to flourish.
Let’s begin with
- vajamas
- vajenga
- vajedi
- and Vice’s own “douche chills”
