Future Slang	comment	Man-o! Slang has changed over time, and undoubtedly will change more in the future. Therefore, in the interests of verisimilitude or just to sound interesting (and absolutely lubed), writers who write stories set in The Future will include their idea of Future Slang as an attempt to (mildly) avert Eternal English. Often these will be drop-in replacements for current phrases, unless they are subject to Bilingual Bonus. On the other hand, in more traditional Science Fiction, We Will Not Use Slang In The Future, with the characters speaking various degrees of Spock Speak. Can misfire and sound Totally Radical. See also Language Drift, Pardon My Klingon, Unusual Euphemism, Fantastic Slurs, Newspeak, Strange-Syntax Speaker, Leet Lingo, Techno Babble, and Hold Your Hippogriffs. No relation to New Era Speech.

Future Slang / int_11b7db91	comment	In Adventure Time characters use math phrases and general gibberish in lieu of swears. They also tend to overuse modern slang in a way that seems funny instead of stupid; for example, Bubblegum saying that the Lich can "control your bod" in an otherwise dramatic moment. Or they'll mix real with invented slang which is totes blooby. There's a character who lives even further in the future named Cuber. His speech consists of even more gibberish than the show's primary standard, and he also uses the word "grayble" and any word sounding like it (such as "glayble" or "bayble" or "gleeble") a lot.

Future Slang / int_193f6428	comment	Starsiege had quite a bit of slang not known in our time. In fact, cultures on different worlds developed their own unique slang to an extent, often shaped by the nature of where they live— The most immediate one: "Herc," short for HERCULAN. In the previous EarthSiege games set two centuries before Starsiege, this slang was in all caps. "Squik" or "squikked" is often used in place of "destroy" or "kill." "Vape" (as in vaporize) is also common. Martians and Venusians each have their own word for "boys" and "girls." Martians say "boys" and "ghels," while Venusians say "kerls" and "deerns." Offworlders often have slang for people from a certain planet. For Venusians, it's "Veens." For people from Titan, it's "Icegrubs." Venusians specifically call Martians "Mars bars." Martians call themselves "dusters," owing to the fact that Mars is only marginally terraformed and a rather dusty place. "Dust is relentless as time," as the Martian saying goes. People from Earth are called "dirtboy," "dirtghel," and "dirtborn" by Martians as an insult. Earthlings return the favor by calling Martians "dustrags." Martians also use "dust" and "dusting" as general purpose profanity. (They also use it to mean killing or destroying something, like "squik.") Venusians use "sorch" and "scorching" much the same way—it's a Death World, after all. Venusians have their own unique greeting: "Check your seals." Also posted as an interrogative: "You check your seals?" (Because the last thing you want on a world that's hot enough to melt lead with pressure rivaling the ocean depths is to blow a seal.) Anyone working for the Great Human Empire gets derogatorily referred to as an "Imp" by colonials. Imperial Police, on the other hand, get referred to as "Imp Lice" or "Lice" by Martians. In general, soldiers of the Terran Defense Force (the official name for the armed forces of the Empire as a whole, including the Imperial Police) are derogatorily called "Teddies" or "bootboys" by colonials. A lot of programming and hacking terms used in this era sound textile-related. "Raveler" is used almost exclusively in place of "programmer" or "software engineer." Similarly, it's more common for hackers to be called "slicers" instead. Humans have a number of slang words for the Cybrids: "'brid" being the most neutral. Then there's "glitch," "toaster," and "tin can."

A language professor is brought in to translate the soldier's gibberish, only for the professor to point out the soldier is speaking English, just faster and with some futuristic slang. When the soldier is decamped to live at the professor's house, we later see the professor's son learning the slang easily (as children pick up on slang usage more quickly than adults). The episode was written by Harlan Ellison, who has a thing about street slang.

The reasoning is this is a future that ran headlong into Failed Future Forecast and the USSR was one of the main countries colonizing the moon, so the lunar society inherited a lot of Russian words and syntax. They didn't get any Chinese from the third of the moon that was colonized by the Chinese, because Hong Kong Luna is isolated from the rest of the moon, not having any tube connection to Novy Leningrad or Luna City.

Fitting, since they're basically the world's speculative fiction nerds organized into a nation. Mycroft's favorite is "superprosthesis" for exceptionally useful tools. Society in general has developed a line of slang words surrounding their revised idea of a family unit, the bash, which does not consist of related/married people anymore, but of friends/like-minded individuals who set up their own households and rear any children they might have together. This has produced words like ba'sibs and ba'pas (siblings and parents, respectively), all based on the Japanese word for 'home', i-basho.

X-Men: In the early 90s, mutants from Bishop's future (which mostly means Bishop himself, his sister Shard and Trevor Fitzroy) used "snikt!" and "bamf!" as swear words. They dropped that idea fairly quickly. Appears in The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect, by Peter David, set one century in the future. For instance, "scan" is used as "look" or "watch".

There's also "half-life", a person that's been affected by radiation, and "full-life", someone who's healthy. There's also "guzzolene", continued from The Road Warrior. "Fuk-ushima" is used as a swear and the term "Kamikrazy" appears a few times in the film, as does "McFeast." "Shiny" and "chrome" come from the film's V8-centered religion. They spray their faces with silver paint before committing particularly "brave" actions. Even Immortan Joe uses the terms when describing how the War Boys will enter Valhalla if they die honorably.

Future Slang / int_694ab80	comment	Batman Beyond: Schway, a frequently-used compliment, may be derived from the Mandarin word shuÃ i, meaning "handsome," "graceful," "smart" and generally cool. Alternatively, it may come from chouette (pronounced "schwett"), a French word of similar meaning. Bruce also says "schwarbage" at one point, but it's unclear if that's actual slang or just the old-fashioned Bruce disagreeing with Terry about how good a play is. Also, "Twip". Its use is kind of broad (Terry's little brother, superheroes said brother doesn't like, the class nerd, etc.) so it's probably synonymous with "wimp" (weak/pathetic person) or something of the like, rather than "twerp" (small, annoying person) as one might first assume. A common insult in Gotham is the literal use of "dreg", for people of perceived low rank in society. Social waste, runoff, or cast-offs. What makes it special here is its greatly increased frequency. Even the police use the term. Nothing like kicking the downtrodden and adding insult to injury. There's also "slag", which carries a triple meaning: It's a slang for "kill", as in "Slag him!", kind of a "screw/fuck it" term as in "Slag it!", and can also denote that one is exhausted: "I'm slagged."

It's a strange mix of greaser-slang and pseudo-Biblical sermonizing, befitting his personality as a violently temperamental Jerkass who thinks far too highly of himself. For example, he uses the word "shadow" as both a synonym for spirit ("If your shadow touches Necropolis again, it will merge forever") and as a metaphor for power ("The mutants at the watershed need dirt-naps.

It rarely gets explicitly described, leaving the reader to deduce what a Gevulot is, what Gogols are, or how a Vir differs from a Realmscape. The matter is complicated even further by that some groups use different words for the same concept.

In "Where No Man Has Gone Before", Gary Mitchell mentions a Noodle Incident he had with a girl, saying "Yeah, she was nova, that one." Apparently, "nova" has some kind of slang meaning in Trek-land and, over forty years later, we still don't know what it is.

Future Slang / int_bb55a676	comment	Legion of Super-Heroes: When Jim Shooter is writing it. Oh florg, someone zeezee Cos, he'll translate this zizz. In '75, Cary Bates had Legion members saying "cool up" for "calm down" or "relax". Bart Allen (Impulse) and other future denizens of the DC Universe throw around the word "grife", usually as a replacement for family-friendly expletives like "crap." "Oh, grife." Possibly an Interlac word, but Bart has great difficulty replacing it with any acceptable English equivalent. Jim Shooter also did this when he wrote Magnus Robot Fighter and Warriors Of Plasm for Valiant Comics. "Zeezee" in particular is quite clever, since it's specifically DC Universe future slang (it means to contact via communicator, and is a reference to Jimmy Olsen's signal watch). Lampshade Hanging in Legion of Super-Heroes Secret Files and Origins, where a magazine interview with the Legion's financier, R.J. Brande, commented on his frequent use of "By damn". Brande said he was an old fashioned guy and didn't hold with obscenities like "grife". "Grife" dates back long before Jim Shooter came back to the Legion. The use of future slang varies from writer to writer, with "grife" and "klordney" showing up in the seventies issues. "Nass" and "Sprock" are two of the most commonly used slang in Legion after grife. "Sprock" is often used as a verb, whereas "Nass" is more of a noun. The phrase "bloody nass!" is commonly used. Comet Queen is a sort of 31st century Valley Girl, who speaks in an even more obtuse slang that even the other characters don't really understand.

Future Slang / int_cf69b21e	comment	They use "slag" as their go-to pejorative in Beast Wars, like "slag him!" to mean "kill/shoot him!" or just dropping an s-bomb when things don't go their way. Eventually "slag" morphed into "scrap" and occasionally "scrud" as the go-to Cybertronian curse words in more modern series such as Transformers: Prime and Transformers: Robots in Disguise (2015). This more than likely has to do with the fact that "slag" is a real-life bit of somewhat coarse British slang that wouldn't be appropriate for a kids' cartoon.

"Brainer," short for "no-brainer" is either "dumbass" or "dumbass without Psychic Powers", depending on who you ask. "Grape" is a derisive word for the natives of Lost Colony, the anouks who have been at war with the invading humans off and on for a few decades. "Wine" is, well, the red stuff you get when you squish a grape...

Future Slang / int_d7765410	comment	The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: That hoopy frood Ford Prefect sure knew where his towel was! The franchise sometimes used the swear word "zark" as a replacement for "fuck", as in: "Zarking photons! That hoopy frood sure knows where his towel is!" It is likely this is a corruption of "Zarquon", a famous religious figure who appears briefly at the End of the Universe. In the Secondary Phase of the radio series, we're told that "Belgium" is the universe's most offensive word. This gets briefly referenced in a Freeze-Frame Bonus in the TV series, and the whole section is reprised in the US edition of Life, the Universe and Everything, allowing them to censor the section about an award for "The Most Gratuitous Use of the Word 'Fuck' in a Serious Screenplay."

Future Slang / int_de15775e	comment	MÃ©zga csalÃ¡d Hungarian animated sitcom occasionally featured a relative from the different future who would speak New-Hungarian, which basically just shortens down every word to the first syllable, leading to odd misunderstandings. He proudly declares in one episode that he officially became a "Gaz-Em-Ber" ("gazember" is usually used as an unflattering term for corrupt individuals), as in "GazdasÃ¡g-EmelÃ©si BerendezÅ‘" which is a nonsense term that roughly translates into "Economical-Inflation Organiser". On another instance, GÃ©za asks his advice regarding the "worms in my garden" ("...fÃ©reg a kertemben") and he assumes he was saying "FÃ©lek Reggel a KerÃ¼leti TemetÅ‘ben", which means "I'm afraid of (going to) the district cemetary in the morning".

Things are described as being as ferocious as Radeligian cateagles or lacking the sense of a Zabriskan fontema — but only after they have been introduced already. The series also has Future Curses involving the god Klono ("Klono's carballoy claws!" and so on) who's apparently been invented so that Lensmen can curse a blue streak without blaspheming against any genuine religious beliefs. One consistent feature is that "OK" has been replaced entirely by "QX".

Anyway, X-wing pilots have plenty of slang for all manner of fighters. TIE fighters are Eyeballs, Interceptors are Squints, Bombers are Dupes, and so on and so forth. In addition, Star Wars has actually taken Future Slang from other series: "kark", "frell", and "frak" are all canon. Star Wars: Scoundrels has an undercover Lando Calrissian talk his way out of a jam by claiming to a Black Sun boss that a particular word is Falleen* A species of Lizard Folk, several members of which form the upper echelon of Black Sun slang for "Hutt." Once he's clear of the mess, he remarks to another character that that's the beauty of slang: you can never be sure you know all of it since it changes so fast.

Future Slang / int_ee384546	comment	Cyberpunk 2077 features this, natch. A few examples (the vast majority of which inherited from the original tabletop RPG) include: "Badge": A police officer or similar law enforcement personnel, as indicated by their almost universally-recognized NCPD badges. "Choomba": "friend." Normally shortened to "choom" or extended out to its full form "Chombatta". Originally a Neo-Afro-American slang term that spread to the rest of American society. "Preem": derived from "premium." Along with being used as a shorthand for its derivative term, it is also utilized as a positive exclamation (along similar lines as "Great!" or "Awesome!") "Nova": Same as above; another exclamation of approval. "Klep": To steal something. The act of stealing is known as "klepping", and the one who commits the theft is a "klepper." Derived from Ancient Greek "kleptes", meaning "thief", via "kleptomaniac", someone who steals compulsively. "Delta": To leave or go somewhere else. If someone says its time to "delta the fuck out", then it's time to delta the fuck out. Probably comes from rocketry, where "delta-v" is used in calculations to indicate changes in velocity. "Gonk": an idiot or particularly dimwitted person. "Haze": To deceive or pull the wool over one's eyes. It's a bit subtle to notice, since it can also just be seen as a somewhat unorthodox use of "hazing" like the informal ritual, but in this case, it refers more to haze like a fog or visible gas, obscuring one's senses, so to "haze" someone is to obscure your motives until it is too late for them to react. "Skull Sponge": The brain, though it typically is used to refer to the brain of someone who is ignorant or dimwitted, who doesn't (or cannot) think for themselves; their brains literally "soak up" information like a sponge, but they don't do anything with it. "Corpo Rat": a derisive term for someone employed by a mega-corporation, derived from an intentional bastardization of "corporate", and can be shortened to "Corpo" if the speaker wants to be (slightly) less offensive. "Monochrome": another colloquial for megacorp employees, though somewhat less derisive in tone. Its terminology derives from the black and white suits typically worn by corporate office employees, in contrast to the more colourful streetwear. "Eddies / Ennies": Shorthand for Euro Dollars (EDs), the primary form of currency in Night City. "Joytoy": A prostitute. Joytoys who equip specialized control chips which allow clients to customize the wearer's appearance and behavior to suit their desires are called "Dolls", though either term is rarely used as an insult. "Chrome": Cybernetics, though it typically refers to flashy, obvious modifications such as complete limb or even body replacements. "Borg": A cyborg. While almost everyone has some level of cybernetic implantation, this term, like "chrome" above, is typically reserved for people who are more obviously augmented, often to the point of seeming more machine than person. "Iron": A gun. In Night City, no one goes anywhere without some big iron on their hip. "Flatlined/Zeroed": to be killed. Derived from EKG machines which, when a person is dead, will only show a Flatline and zero biometric readings. "AV": "Aerodyne Vehicle" or "Aerial Vehicle"; essentially the universe's equivalent of a Flying Car. "Edgerunner": literally speaking, it refers to someone who lives on the edge of society, between law and crime. However, the term is typically used in common parlance to refer to a mercenary who usually works under the employ of a "fixer" (see below) to carry out contracts. Such contracts can be anything from rescuing hostages, retrieving stolen property (or stealing it themselves) carrying out a hit, and really anything in between. Edgerunners can often work as a team for bigger jobs, but those who go their own way without a team are known as "Solos," and are often forces to be reckoned with in their own rights. "Fixer": a middleman who acts as a broker between clients and edgerunner contractors. Typically they do not take part in much action themselves, but anyone with more than three brain cells to rub together in Night City know that screwing over your Fixer (or your Fixer screwing over you or your client) is a good way to get blacklisted or worse. Even the local NC gangs usually know better than to mess with fixers, as any slight against them is typically met with them siccing Edgerunners on you to make your life miserable if not end it outright. "Gangoon": An amalgamation of "gangster" and "goon", typically used to refer to a member of a gang, more specifically the lower-ranking mooks and Cannon Fodder who typically carry out the grunt work within the organization, though laymen will often use it to refer to gangsters in general, regardless of rank. "Huscle": hired muscle, which, as you can guess, the term is more or less the shorthand form of. "Input/Output": "Boyfriend" and "Girlfriend", respectively. "Ripperdoc": a street doctor/surgeon who specializes in the installation and repair of cybernetic implants. They also tend to act as a sort of Doc Sawbones to Night City citizens who cannot afford hospitalization...or would prefer not to visit a corpo hospital in the first place. "Rockerboy": An indie rockstar that, as opposed to corporate-approved music stars, use their music to speak out against the ills of society and as an instrument of rebellion. Johnny Silverhand and his band, "Samurai", are the most prominent examples. "Scop": crap, junk, detrius, etc. A common insult on the streets of NC is "scopmuncher" which is as insulting as it sounds. Derived from the term "single cell organic protein", an artificial foodstuff used to replicate meat that is considered Poverty Food. "Cyberpsycho": a bit of a controversial term. Officially, it is meant to describe those suffering from Cyberpsychosis, which is, as the name suggests, a form of violent insanity brought about by excessive or defective cybernetics. However, in practice the media and the general public tend to attach the term to any violent assailant with cybernetics.

Some also appeared in Orson Scott Card's Empire, this being handwaved away by the extensive Arabic education the characters had received.
