Nightlife Slang - DC Clubbing

Nightlife Slang

Nightclub Vocabulary

Much like another country with a foreign language, the nightlife scene has it’s own terminology. There is no Altavista or Webster’s Dictionary for this one, so you better brush up on your nightlife slang before heading out to the DC Clubs. Otherwise, you’ll be left in the cold like an redneck in Paris who just downed some rotten snails and has to use “la toilette!”
Beer Goggles

beer goggle storiesIf ya go home with Brad Pitt and wake up with Chris Farley, ya probably had beer goggles on last night.

Uhh… that’s not a bathrobe you’re wearing brah… it’s actually her big ass panties. Betcha wish you hadn’t put on those goggles.

Booze Compass

Drunk passed outIt’s a gift. You can thank your higher power for this one.

No clue how ya got home, and judging from your bruised hip and sore throat, you probably don’t wanna know.

Beer Money

Beer MoneyReally? It’s that hard to hang on to money that you had to get a piggy bank?

If you’re saving for like a 20-keg rager or 15 bottles on your b-day then OK. Otherwise grow up.

If you were really smart you’d have Cirrhosis Money, Attorney Money and Health Insurance for when your liver kicks, you get a DWI and end up in rehab.

Beer Muscles

Two kinds of beer muscles:

1) A few drinks down the hatch and all of a sudden some d-bag thinks he’s Steven Seagal, Jean Claude van Damme and Chuck Norris rolled into one.

2) When the guy who thinks he’s van Damme has super human strength from being so drunk and ends up on trial for involuntary manslaughter.

Everyone needs to relax.

Assed Out

assed outThere’s always someone at the pre-game who doesn’t make it to the bar/club.

Ever fall asleep at the bar/club and get kicked out. It sucks for everyone else… unless no one cares in which it cases it just sucks for you.

When it’s 6AM and the after-hours are barely hanging on, that’s when it’s time to ass out. Ya shoulda found someone to go home with…

Breaking the Seal

We’ll say this… women can hold it in for an awfully long time. Way longer than any guy. It’s impressive to be honest

Once they break the seal, however, it’ll be trips to bathroom every 5 minutes, all night long.

Pharrell wrote a song about it.

Buzz Kill

Buzz Kill ArnoldThe asshole who ruins everyone’s night; usually because of their dumb ass drama, need to discuss politics and religion, or stick-up-their-ass opinion on what it means to have fun.

Examples include fights with one’s significant other, people who insist on telling ‘that’ story one more time, horrible music after you’ve just heard three of your favorite songs in a row, discovering that you’ve spent all of your money, tough guy meat heads and more.

The Dragon

Dragon BreathShout out to Big L!

When someone has bad breath next to you at the club and you cannot escape.

Considering dragons are mystical, fire-breathing creatures, the human equivalent is someone with bad breathe who’s burning other people’s nostril hairs. Hence the phrase, “that mawfucka caught the dragon.”
