Slang Word of the Week


» Read similar stories filed under:

Are you over thirty? Are you nerdy, uncool, or simply suburban? You can "front a mad vocabulary" with my slang word of the week. Each week I will post a new word along with its definition and a sample sentence. You will be "talking street" in mere weeks. Give it a try... use your new word in a sentence and post it here.

This weeks word is:
JACK: to steal, swipe "My wallet got JACKED at the station" syn BIT, PILFER, SHARK, PALM, BOOST, FINGER, FILCH
JACK a: nothing "I got JACK from the lawsuit"
b: anything "I didn't earn JACK last year" syn NADA, NIL, ZILCH, SCRATCH, SQUAT, DIDDLY-SQUAT

Sample Sentence: "What do you say we JACK these office supplies and go back to my CRIB"
