Retro Hipster Slang Revealed: Part 1

BIG035AY460 Retro Hipster Slang Revealed: Part 1

Have you ever watched an old movie and heard someone say some fucked up gibberish that doesn’t make a lick of sense to anyone in their right mind? TCM will be doing our best to help define such 1940’s and 50’s hipster slang for you, the only way we know how.

Let’s get started.

1. “That chick is locked up in this direction, so just cut out while your conk is all in one portion”

This is how you can tell someone to stop annoying the young lady you are escorting.

2. “Solid Jack, I’ll dig you in your den gradually”

This is the proper reply when invited to someone’s house.

3. “Deep Sea Diving”

Translation:
Oral sex

And of course my personal favorite:

4. “Must have been tough on your mother, not having any children”

Translation:
I don’t know who you are, but you don’t impress me.

That is some cold hearted shit to say to someone. Anyway, check back often as we infiltrate the hipster and begin digging deeper into it’s world of nonsensical speaking patterns.

Want a Girl/Guy on the Rebound?

Twitter has got you covered!

For those who want it easy to get a “hookup”, I think this is a good bet. According to a reliable source (Urban Dictionary) this could be one way someone looks at a rebound:

rebound
Hooking up with someone shortly after being dumped (by someone else) so that you still feel wanted.

I know she’s on rebound, but that’s the third guy she’s hooked up with this week!

Fellas or ladies, there you go. Visit that site above to make your life a whole lot easier.

It’s also a good place to go laugh and make fun of other people’s dating misfortunes.
