This seems logical to me, but no one ever knows what I'm talking about. I am told that I make up a lot of words, or rather my family makes up a lot of words that I use. I never realize that they are made up though, so I'm sure I have more.

243"Hundred problems": Issues/arguments/distress relating to one's SO/lover/date/that cute barista/you get the idea.
As in,
"Can I ask you about something?"
"What is it? You've got hundred problems?"
As in,
"I've got ninety-nine problems but a bitch ain't one."

244Many of you are very creative with your slang words! This thread was a good read.
I have friends who refer to this situation as the "clam jam."
Taking a dump: "Getting rid of the albatross," "sowing seeds of discontent," etc.
Having sexual intercourse: "Doing the baddest."
Smoking grass: "Having a safety meeting"

Yeah. The useage of "O-ring" here made an impression on me as well.

248As a teen, I hung a D.O.A. poster in my room that featured a wild west preacher with a bible in one hand and a gun in the other. Underneath it said "Repent you fucking savages, repent".
My father went off. He told me to take the filthy thing down. I asked if it was cool to keep it up if I covered the offending words. He said yeah.
In the same font as the poster, I changed the words to "Repent you good-time Erics, Repent" ("Good time Eric" was my father's name for me when he was pissed or if I didn't adequately do chores).
When he saw the poster, his face turned red and he went off on a rant about "Good time Eric, ramming around and not giving a fuck about anyone but himself".
Doing anything that involves leaving the house has since been known as "ramming" and being out and about is being "on the ram" and has been in for the last 26 years. My adult sons use the term and are probably unaware that most people don't. My 6 year old daughter used it in front of my father who is still angry about everything at 66.
His reply...a defeated "goddamnit..."
P.S. He recently saw a flyer for my band at the time (I was 16...this was '81) under the name "Good Time Eric and the Wraths of Merl" (at the time we were called "No Beverage"). He thought I had made the flyer solely to fuck with him. In actuality it made it to the marquis of the club we were playing at.
