1. It's cool：cool 是青少年（teen-agers) 常用的字，(有时也用 debonaire) 其真正意思是指可以接受的好事；或是情况可以控制；或是保持冷静、文雅、礼貌、外表不错，能够合乎年轻人的标准。（可指人或事物）也就是 something good or acceptable；situation is under control；being calm, gentle, courteous or good-looking；meet teen's standard. 所以可以说： That's cool；he is cool；this is cool. She (He) was cool in the past. She looks as cool as a cucumber. 又是恭维语，是说她很 calm and charming; not emotional. 但为何用黄瓜 (cucumber) 代表，则不得而知。 2. Are you trippin'？：trippin' 这个字，是由动词 trip 演变而来。（动词时态是：tripped, tripping）年轻人用省略符号 (apostrophe ) 代替 g，表示是 slang，或口头禅。这个字是现在分词当形容词用，是指行为异乎寻常，也许受到吸毒或喝酒的影响，而显得神魂颠倒、奇形怪状(to get high on drug such as LSD)，也就是说：要不是受到药、酒的影响，你为什 显得这样古怪呢？(Are you under any influence of drug or alcoholic? Why are you so crazy and bizarre?) 所以可以说： They are trippin'. （= tripping） 3.

(过去他在高中时是位书呆子) He is a computer geek. (意思是：虽然他是书呆子，但电脑很棒) I don't like him because he is a jerk. 也可以用复数： 主词也可以用其他人称，动词也可用其他时态： 4. Yo baby：Yo baby 是许多年轻的黑人男子对女子的招呼语，也有人用“Yo baby, yo baby yo”，由於女子很漂亮，很吸引人，他想与她交谈。(He thinks she is pretty and attractive, so he wants to speak to her.)，也就是找话题，想要「打开话匣」。(to use as a form of opening line or pick-up line or to begin a greeting; try to know her or date her) 如果说： Yo baby, are you trippin'? 意思是：漂亮的姑娘，你的样子有点怪里怪气，有什 心事吗？ Hey, hey, hey, what's going on？“what is going on？”就是年轻黑人打招呼的用语 (a form of greeting or open statement) 或 5. She is a ho：ho 这个字，也是美国年轻人把 whore 字改变而成的一种口头禅或俚语。意思是指一些年轻女人，也许因为 peer pressure 或 curiosity 或 enjoyment 的心理，随便自愿与男子免费上床。(a girl or woman gives sex freely without charge)，也就是说：She is very loose. 或 She is a loose woman (girl)。 They are (were) hos. |
