Enough that the word caught on. It's really more of a sailor slang than straight pirate slang. Making a living as a sailor was fairly attractive back in the day. The money was good and a lot more reliable than many other industries and trades. Besides, would you rather be at sea or in Czechoslovakia?

I'm really surpised to hear that somone else knows what "flippin' a biotch" is, b/c i've used it on a lot of people and they pretty much have no idea what i'm talking about. If a day does come when i say it to a friend and they perform a u turn, i would be a happy person.

I know what "flipping a bitch" is but my friends don't really use it. In fact, I don't think it really gets used at all around here. I mostly hear people say "hook a 'U'"
Here's a weird one:
When I went to school in the ghetto of MD (You think I'm joking...), kids would say all sorts of stuff. Some didn't make sense (This was 2002-2003).
One that always stuck out to me calling someone a "Bama", pronounced "Bam-ah". It was like calling some one stupid. I heard it all the time, but I just didn't get it.
Anyone heard of this one?
I suppose that woot and pwned are appropriate in certain contexts. My stepbrother says pwned about everything though. He once said to my mom that the meal she cooked for dinner pwned. Seriously.
Does he ever want to get laid? By men or women? Cause, that ain't gonna work out. I was out with a dude once who said, and I quote, "wow, ROFL at that, hunh?" He was never my wingman again.
I totally say stoked. What's wrong with being stoked? Man, when I got my bottle of Absinthe I was so stoked to drink it.
I've never figured out how to enjoy absinthe. I tried this kind with two cat eyes on it. Don't even remember the brand, just the eyes. It was VILE. Maybe I wasn't "doing it right", but... damn. And I'm used to strong alcohol. I drink bourbon, scotch, vodka, rum, and gin straight... all the time. I can even stomach everclear straight.
I answer my phone "Ahoy.", is that a proper word or is it pirate-slang? I don't care either way, it's not going to stop being fun.
I answer mine "Yhello?" like Homer does in a few episodes of The Simpsons. Can't remember why I started it anymore, but I've been doing it for ages.
Also "flippin' a bitch" is something I've never heard before in my life. Sounds like something you'd do in bed.

I simultaneously use a bit of street slang while also looking down harshly on dumb wigger chumps that think they're hot shit
It comes to me naturally when I'm hanging out with certain friends of mine, the cooler set, and when I'm like, say, here online, I don't even remember the lingo unless someone else busts it out
I've co-opted Beef Speech (http://www.achewood.com). Where a person would normally say hella, I choose "heck of", even though none of the people I know read Achewood.
I have a friend who calls making a u-turn "whipping a shitty". I have no idea where it came from.
Also, while not necessarily slang, conversations between my best friend and I usually begin in a standard form of <greeting>, you <vilest homophobic insult you can think of>. We're not homophobes, we're basically just trying to top each other. I called him a cock-socket, he called me a glans-dribbling cock-climber. (I think he won).

Abloo bloo bloo just doesn't seem as effective when said out loud. You'd think it'd be more effective, but really you just come off as even more of a raging asshole.
I use "dude" all the time, but not in a Keanu Reeves or surfer guy way.
I've heard of flipping a bitch. I like whipping a shitty better, though.

I thought the exact same thing. Visually it conveys its message so well... but aurally it sort of falls short.

I usually answer my phone with "Chico's tacos".
Does that count as slang, or is it just being obnoxious?
I've also been known to answer my phone with "Wet Jimmy's Gourmet Assmeats. Do this be pick up or Delivery?" and "Jorge's house of pleasures. How may I serve you?".
It's fun to mess with people's heads like that. :P
Oh yeah.... Slang.... OT.
I've actually found that using big words gets you more stares and dirty looks - from younger people anyways - where I live.
It's kind of sad really, when using a word like "colloquially" in a sentence will make people think you're an ass more than saying something as ridiculous as "a'ight bro".
Or maybe "bra"?
Just out of curiosity.... Why on earth do so many people pronounce "bro" as "bra"?
It's bad enough when people resort to slang for some sort of unwillingness or inability to pronounce real words.
But to even pronounce the "wrong" words wrong?
That one just baffles me.
It's funny, because with things like saying "woot", the girls I hang out with actually pick up on it and start saying it, haha. A lot of my slang gets picked up by other people that I spend a lot of time with.

I went to school in very non-ghetto MD and heard that all the time. It was like calling someone unstylish, though, not stupid.

Other gems:
"Ohnoes!"
"Mang" - used as with 'man' in a Tony Montana accent. An example would be if you're dicking around and a friend has you in a headlock, you might say "Hey mang, I can't breaf" (Hey man, I can't breathe.) Usually ironic.
Thinking about it, I have a real problem with irony.
Like I'll say racist/sexist things in front of close friends, or use outlandish slang, but sometimes I forget that not everyone gets that I'm poking fun at the viewpoint I'm expressing, and will get offended when I say something like "Bitches like Hillary needs to get out of politics and back in the (kitchen and/or bedroom)."
I often answer my phone with "What up?" because I am an asshole. My best friend will usually hang up on me when I do that. I'm pretty sure I started using it ironically, but now I can't seem to stop.
Actually, a lot of the things I started saying ironically (a'ight, for instance) have entered my vernacular, and I end up sounding like a moron when meeting strangers. I should probably work on that.
I hear "flipping a bitch" all the time. Maybe it's a WA state thing.
Definitely heard it in California.
I'm saying -- I say that shit all the time. I get kinda annoyed when I'm like "okay at this light flip a bitch" and the driver is all what? Fucking idiots.
The other one is "make a San Francisco left." I can't be the only one who says that.

I have a situational liguistic arsenal I guess
Either that or you're a fake fucking dipshit who's afraid to come to terms with what you like and who you really are.

Personally I'm leaning toward the latter.
It's called situational audience analysis, you dick.

Or "register" -- there's a third term for it I studeied myself -- but in the end I think we all really just know that Fallout is a fake ass fucking dick.
Yeah, I cuss a little less around my bosses, but only fucking pussies make excuses for why they act scared around people who aren't their friends.

Slang is like seasonings for a dish; some work well for certain dishes, and can be combined for interesting combinations, but restraint should also be shown. You wouldn't want to dump an entire bottle of nutmeg in a pie, would you?
Okay, not quite a direct comparison, but close enough.
I live in Wyoming USA and somewhere along the way I picked up the word bloke. As in 'He's a decent bloke'. I dropped that around work and needed buckets to catch all the shit I got for it. Fucking redneck bogers. They can suck my arse with a straw. haha I love the English slang I've picked up in these forums.
Also I throw around 'salty' a lot. As in 'He is a salty fellow' and 'She came in here all salted up' in referance to them being grumpy but not quite to that dickhead stage.

I find im fond of word fusions.... I think this started with Ginormous which I no longer use but many more still litter my language. For example Excisely, Pathetisad, and asstastic.
Slang is the little detail around the edges that personalizes your speech. I reckon it should be used, but what you use and how is a personal choice that's probably, in part, defined by your social circle and what the people around you use.
examples I use: "I'm down with/for that", "Owned", "Sweet", "Vagoo" and "wang"

I'm not country, but I totally use it all the time. It's mainly because my mom does, though, and she grew up on a ranch, so she's allowed.
People don't know what "flipping a bitch" is?
also "turn around"
Definitely heard it here on the East Coast.
