New Slang

Slang is what I miss about living in America. Germany being the relatively clean-speaking country that it is, I gotta collect as much as I can when I'm home. Thanks to my people and a little definition assistance from urbanslang.com and the nytimes magazine, here's the Summer 2009 collection:

gettin it in

Hard hustling for important things, like gettin muscle, money or knowledge. Bangin on weights, paper hunting, and yes hard studying. In short, keeping your shit the hardest to obtain the real deal. Originally from the 24 Hour Ghetto Workout. Homeboys doing their shit on a bus stop, working on the abs and doing pull ups. Quote: "Just gettin it in, hard body style, gettin it in, we gettin it in."
e.g. "What did you do in Paris?" "Mona Lisa, pomme frites, hooked up with some French girls - you know, gettin it in."

goosh

Anything that tastes, smells, feels, sounds, looks good. Used to describe women.
e.g. "Girl got that good goosh goosh"

no post office

Jamacian slang for a party where women outnumber men. No post office means there's no mail. No male means lots of women.
e.g.: PLENTY GAL
NO POST OFFICE

tranqin

Tranquility, chilling, no stress
e.g. "What are you up to?" "Nothin, just tranqin out."

haighties

A derivative of "hate" and eighties" used to describe a condition that is the result of overdosing on 80s-inspired fashion.
e.g. "I felt fine this morning in my distressed-leather-boulder-shoulder jacket and white Rimmel mascara, but my boss sent me home because he didn't want haighties spreading in the office."

smh

Internet acronym for 'shaking my head.' Usually used when someone finds something so stupid, no words can do it justice.
e.g.
Vincent: So how was prom?
Peter: It was great!
Vincent: You dance with alotta girls?
Peter: No. Vanessa was all over that Spanish dude and Mia was up with her friends the whole time.
Vincent: smh

remove the chip

The chip is what makes a woman uptight. It can be found in the back of the neck and controls her ability to let go. A woman will not be able to enjoy herself or even flirt if the chip is still inserted. The chip must be removed before any further advances are made.
e.g. "If you're gonna get with that girl your gonna havta remove the chip first."
