Blog 7- Slang

This week I found a video on slang. That thing that interests me about slang is how much a word or phrase can change over time to have a different meaning. Or how slang can change just by traveling to different parts of the country or world. This video is specifically about slang used for sex. I know there are TONS of euphemisms out there even now that don't really make any sense, but some of these phrases were so off the wall that I couldn't help but wonder how the heck someone came up with them. A few of my favorites are night psychic, play at rumpscuttle and clapperdepouch, and hootchie-pap.

    I probably should have stopped when I read what the video was going to be about but I was in the mood for a laugh. Once I saw it was a Buzzfeed video it was all downhill from there. Great topic though and very good video example.

    So I guess I didn't read what you said very clearly because I thought these were slang words in general and once I clicked on the link did I realize what it really was.
    But all of these phrases said in the video are hilarious. These phrases definitely make you wonder how someone came up with these .
