    I'll try to start.

    Custie (n)

    - Someone who goes to a "jamband" show to look cool or to pick up drugs and definately puts partying above the music and community of these shows. Custies often usually wear "preppy" clothes, such as polos with poped collars but when they go to shows they throw on their vintage dead shirt or whatever. They often socoff at people talking about "positive vibes" and "new age" things in general. Custie can pretty much define the entire Widespread Panic scene.

    well as long as it's kept to slang and not labels for people I think it's a good idea.

    OK mabye, custie was't the best word to start off defining but it is a real slang term and isn't a new label.

    sweet idea for a thread.

    Dank (adj) : originally used to denote high quality weed. use has expanded to pretty much everything.

    Here is a difficult one to define feel free to help me out here.

    Heady

    adj

    Something that is extraordinarily good. Also has connotations of or being related to hippies or "the scene." Most commonly used in reference to dank weed as in "Whose got my heady nuggets" but can mean pretty much anything good.


    yeah that show was heady!

    that’s some heady beer you got there.

    side note: I don't know where this word comes from, if it is an offshoot of the word head, which is referring to a hippie or if it is completely unrelated.

    related words:

    headies

    n

    usually referring to pre-weighed-out 1/8 oz (3.5g) bag of heady nuggets.

    there’s never enough headies around at music festivals

    I'm pretty sure that dosn't have a name because that is not a common thing to do. I would just call that a waste of blow.

    As usual brother, you went straight to the point. You and I may not always agree..that's cool. But, we sure as hell agree here. That's all this world needs...more silly labels! A new sub-dialect to divide us even further.
    Words that are meaningless to everybody else.
    Simplify! Make your message something anyone can understand.

    insanejester always says what HE thinks, not what he thinks you want to hear. (thinking before speaking...novel concept!)

    Right On!

    Wandering and Insane, while I agree with the labels divide us thought, a sublanguage also binds a subculture.

    binding smaller groups has avalue, but if all people are oing to bring in are from the badly-reported EKAAT and a word that is worn out already...well.. keep using hippy.

    Thanks for that insight. I concede on that point. I've told you in the past what my major was. You know how we are. Kinda' uncomfortable with too many levels of "sub" anything. (ever increasing numbers of lexicons to learn)

    well as a journalist, I think using the EXACT word is important.

    You make a wonderful point.

    Despite what I think about it......
    The truth is, people DO develop colloquial speech. People give these "nicknames" to things. It's a way of showing ownership over objects and events in their environment, but I think in this case they mostly do it for fun.
