12 Things You Say When You Try To Bring East Coast Lingo To The Midwest
Josh Applegate

Moving to the midwest for college has been a struggle because no one ever understands my lingo, and it's drawlin. Each part of the country has their own little terms that they use and I hate when I have to re-explain what I'm trying to say to everyone. So this list of phrases is for those of you who never know what I'm talking about.

1. "That's drawlin"

In case you had no idea what my first sentence of this article meant, it means to be annoying or dumb.

2. "I'm geekin"

This means that I'm laughing. Guess you must be funny. Congrats.

3. "That's the geek"

If I say something is the geek, once again, it means that was funny.

4. "I'm about to knock"

No, I'm not about to knock on the door. I am about to go to sleep.

5. "I'm about to check"

If I say this, please do not ask me "Check for what?" because I am not checking anything out. This also means that I am about to go to bed.

6. "That's skazy"

This means that something is sketchy or secretive. It is not a good thing if I call you skazy.

7. "That's brazy"

Brazy also means the same thing as skazy does. Trust me, you don't want me to call you this either.

8. "I'm about to grub"

Expect me to weigh like 20 more pounds the next day because if I'm about to eat a lot if I'm about to grub.

9. "That's sick nasty"

"That's sick nasty" (the good kind) or "that's sick nasty" (the bad kind). Basically, it either means that is really cool, or maybe not so much. Don't get these confused.

10. "Homeboy" or "Homegirl"

Everyone is a homeboy or homegirl, don't be offended by this.

11. "I'm boolin"

I'm just chillin.

12. "Bet"

Bet is simply just a fancy word for okay. If I say, "That's a bet." it just means it's going to happen.

So you're gonna start talking like I do now? That's a bet.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
