Ever catch yourself reading terms you’ve read here and using them in person or elsewhere?
I’ve been using the term “sludge” a lot. Not “sludge” as in sludge metal bands such as Melvins or Acid Bath, but sludge as in Nazareth or Foghat. I got this term from reading FM eephus’s posts way back when he was describing said bands. Example (in regards to "Mr. Roboto" by Styx):

Styx is pure 100% undiluted and unrefined sludge.

And they are 100% crap.

So good. Incredibly useful for me because as a person in his 30s, we are targets for a lot of nostalgia marketing and we know that a big chunk of stuff we enjoyed during our youths was either ordinary crap or sludge, so it’s great to have this distinction (even when they overlap). I use term to describe a unique condition of entertaining (maybe even fascinating) crap, but avoid using it as a polite euphemism for ordinary crap.

Any others? Phrases too. BLAST IT WITH PISS.

"Chooch" is so great because you don't even have to explain to people its definition yet everybody knows what it means.

"Oh that guy who nonstop mentions how much Black Sabbath is his 'least favorite classic metal band but they are OK for you to like'? That guy's a chooch."

Last weekend I also told FM steve's "filthiest joke" to a pal. he just looked at me like "dude WTF"

Taco riff proselytist, checking in.

I do the [random phrase] would not see (or occasionally, WOULD see) thing constantly.

Borken is in the family usage. Would see/would not see is one I use to myself or under my breath.

I missed the filthiest joke somehow. Is it accessible anywhere?
