Baller (n.) Someone who is living the life and has a lot of money to spend.
“That guy that drives that Porsche is such a baller.”
Mostly gangster males would use this slang word towards other males. Blonde, white girls like me would usually not use baller in their everyday conversations. Regions in the
Beef (n.) To have a grudge or issue with another person.
“He jumped my brother, so now he has beef with me.”
I heard this slang word from a group of guys having a conversation. This word is used in an angry situation and by people who are fighters. One could infer that it is used by people of a lower class.
Bomb (a.) Exceptionally good.
“That burrito looks so bomb!”
This word is used all over ASU by both males and females. It is definitely a west coast word, being that I have never heard anyone say it until I moved to the west coast.
Boo (adverb.) An expression of disapproval.
“Want to get dinner tonight?”
“I can’t, I have to study for my test.”
“Boo.”
The slang word “boo” is used by females for the majority. It is a typical innocent, way of showing that you are disappointed.
Brolic (a.) Huge, usually referring to muscle size.
“I was at the gym for three hours getting brolic.”
This would be a common term for guys, especially during gym sessions. I would say that brolic is an east coast slang. I have even heard it during one of the episodes of
Bromance (v.) The act of a male bonding session.
“Mike and John were bromancing all night.”
This word is mainly used by women to make fun of the way men interact with each other. The quote above is from two sorority girls talking about their boyfriends.

“I’m so ready to get crunk this weekend”
This word is universal when talking about male and female slang. Crunk is a popular word at ASU.
Digits (v.) A person’s telephone number
“Let me get your digits so I can hit you up later.”
When I hear this slang word I cannot take the person seriously. This is a male slang word and is used when a guy is trying to hit on a girl to get her phone number.
Dumb (a.) Extremely.
“I’m dumb tired.”
This is definitely an upper east coast slang word. I have only heard males use this word in an ordinary conversation.
Dunk (n.) A large, round buttox.
“Did you see that girl on the treadmill? She had a dunk.”
This word is solely part of male vocabulary. This took place in a gym setting, where two young guys were checking out the girls working out. This wasn’t too classy.
Emo (n.) Someone who is depressed and feels bad for themselves.
“Just because your boyfriend broke up with you doesn’t mean you have to be emo for the rest of your life.”
When talking about the word emo, I am quick to think of women using this term over men.
FML, an acronym for Fuck My Life. (v.) An expression used when something really bad happens.
“My whole wallet was stolen in
This slang word would be used by females more than males. Walking around ASU campus I heard many “FMLs,” all said by women. The younger college crowd tends to use this slang word more often.
Herb (n.) A geek, or a dork.
“You are such a herb for staying in this weekend to do homework.”
This word would be used by males. You would use this word to one of your friends to just mess around with and innocently make fun of.

“She’s talking all that ish now that she found out I have a new girl.”
The word ish is mainly used by ghetto males.
“Yo man, I just got a hold of some kush.”
This slang word is used by anyone who smokes a lot of weed, which is the stereotypical low class druggie.

This slang word is used by both males and females. It is more of a west coast,

“That girl is such a lightweight. She pukes after 2 drinks.”
This slang word can be used by any gender.
Obvi (a.) Short for obviously. Something that is very apparent and easily recognized.
“Are you going to the Sig Pi party tonight?”
“Obvi.”
Definitely a girl slang word. In the valley many of the girls tend to shorten words, which is where obvi came from.
OD (n.) Slang term for over-doing. Too much.
“That guy I just met yesterday has texted me 4 times already!”
“Whatttt…that’s OD.”
This word is used more by females. It is the perfect slang word to use during an intense gossip session.
Over it (a.) To have moved on from a particular experience.
“It’s been a few months since we broke up and I’m finally over it.”
This word is one of the most overused slang words at ASU for both men and women. I’ve noticed that this slang is used throughout the entire country.
Own (v.) To dominate.
“I just owned that psych test.”
This word would be used mainly by guys.
Sick (a.) Something disgusting.

This word is used by middle to upper class people. People that are from a lower class don’t really think that too many places are sketch.

This word is one that more males use. Guys tend to brag about how intoxicated they were last night, whereas women don’t flaunt that most of the time.
Tool. (n.) A person trying to be something they are not.
“That tool acts like he is from
This word is very Cali/bro talk. I never heard this word until I moved to the west coast. Both men and women use this slang.
Word (v.) To agree.
“That chick in our Spanish class is so hot.”
“Word.”
This slang word is mainly used by men. It isn’t a word that wealthy, high class people would be using frequently.
