In my family and between my friends these are 8 jargon terms
we use or that I’ve heard of here in my life.
1. Lou- bathroom
This actually has funny story to it. For one of my birthday
parties was I having when growing up, the theme was a Hawaiian/beach theme. My
mom had taught me the term lou for bathroom. We figured we would just call the
bathroom that for the short amount of time while preparing for my birthday.
Well, it just kind of stuck with me, an ever since then I’ve always called it
the lou. In my family, my mom an I are the only ones who call it that. This
draws a circle around us because, my mom an I are the only ones who use this
term. When we go to the store and ask for the lou, people usually ask what it
is, or it’ll take them a second before they understand what we mean.
2. Sis- sister (Sugar or myself)
Sissy is another term that is used in my family. My mom
usually calls me that or my dog Sugar. Whenever she calls “sissy” out we both
respond, or depending on the situation, I can tell who she wants to call or
talk to. My mother told me my grandmother used to be called that by her older
sisters.
3. Coco- xoxo
My mom an mines term for xoxo. It happened through an
accidental typo and just stuck with us. It is something that is just between
us.
4. Lol- Laughing
During messaging I will say lol to friends and family. This
is only used when messaging. I will not say this out loud to anyone. Strictly
for messaging.
5. Pita- Pain in the ass
This is what my mom likes to call me sometimes. A PITA. I haven’t
really heard it from other people or in general. I just hear it in my family.
Before I knew what it stood for, I would think of Peeta from the Hunger Games.
6. BP- Blood Pressure
My aunt an I are both interested in the medical field, so
sometimes we will talk about these things and say the abbreviation for them.
Also, when my mother an I message each other, she will tell me what my fathers
BP was when he went to the doctors.
7. Poker Face- blank expression
My bother an I like to use this term to describe my nephews
faces he makes in pictures. This was a little common term but not so much
anymore. Before I knew what it meant, I would hear it and not really know the meaning.
8. Sweet tooth-
someone who loves sweets
My boyfriend an I like to use this word to describe each
other! We both have really big sweet tooths. This is common, but you don’t hear
it all the time. Just when the situation of sweets or how much you like them
comes up.
Overall, when I thought about coming up with this list it was a little difficult because you really don't think of the terms you use on a daily basis that excludes other people. In doing it opened my eyes to actually how many Jargon's are out there. Some of these term are common, however when someone doesn't know the meaning behind them, it still exclude people even if they don't know the term.
