ORCUTT-TALK: The Definitive Dictionary.
|
||
Presented by his good friend, Jason Scott.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
The civilized world has had a great lacking in terms of its linguistic
|
||
variety. In upstate NY, there exists an individual name CHRIS ORCUTT who has the
|
||
unique abolity to create lingo. This great power has been given to only a few
|
||
lucky individuals (less than 200 in the US) and it must be shown to the free
|
||
world, to show the examples of the proper way to OT.
|
||

|
||
|
||
I. Pronunciation
|
||
|
||
Orcutt-Talk (Referred to after this as O-T) is a very involved lingo, and
|
||
should be attempted by all, but not with the expectation of perfection on the
|
||
first try. Practice in front of the mirror, and never give up. Oh, by the way,
|
||
a low voice helps a great deal.
|
||
|
||
The accential origins of O-T are somewhat hard to trace, but the accent itself
|
||
can be best stated as a Maine-Bronx-Upstate-Brother type. It comes easily with
|
||
practice, and usually is a result of too much stereo playing with 500-watt
|
||
speakers.
|
||
|
||
When speaking O-T, keep in mind that looks play a major role. When speaking,
|
||
always keep a look of either assurance, or greed. The look can make or break
|
||
you.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
II. Basics of the Lingo
|
||
|
||
Like most lingos, O-T is used mainly for affirmation, or agreement. The main
|
||
indicators of agreement are:
|
||
|
||
POWER HARDY HEFTY DEAL! YA KNOW _______ (Prefix, explained later)
|
||
VOLTAGE WATTAGE VELOCITY ENERGY MOMENTUM
|
||
YEAH!
|
||
|
||
|
||
POWER, (Pow'ah) is one of the more commonly used affirmations, indicating a
|
||
large amount of status in the opinion of the speaker. It is a large part of the
|
||
language, due to it's many connotations.
|
||
|
||
POWER can be substituted by VELOCITY (Vel ah'si te), WATTAGE (Wah' tege),
|
||
VOLTAGE (Vol' tege), MOMENTUM (Me men' tem), and ENERGY (En'ah gee). They all
|
||
have the same impact in terms of meaning, although individual levels of
|
||
intensity have to be felt out.
|
||
|
||
POWER and its derivatives have two adjectives, SHEER (Shea') and EXTREME
|
||
(Extreem') that give them extra boost for those times when extra POWER must be
|
||
indicated. (Ex: 500 watt stereo is POWER, 500 watt stereo when its at its
|
||
maximum volume is SHEER POWER)
|
||
|
||
When combined with these words, SHEER and EXTREME create a large amount of
|
||
connotations and uses:
|
||
|
||
SHEER ENERGY EXTREME WATTAGE SHEER EXTREME VOLTAGE EXTREME MOMENTUM
|
||
EXTREME VELOCITY EXTREME ENERGY EXTREME WATTAGE, POWER AND ENERGY!
|
||
|
||
|
||
HARDY (Hah'dee) indicates objects that are tough, rugged, and built to last.
|
||
(Ex: Johnny just bought a new jeep with four wheel drive. The jeep is HARDY.
|
||
The jeep could also exhibit SHEER POWER, but that's something else.) As an
|
||
affirmative, it shows agreement to a powerful deal.
|
||
|
||
HEFTY (Hef'teh) is a near-synonym for HARDY, except that it usually indicates
|
||
weight. (Ex: That 200 pound fat kid down the street is HEFTY.) The affirmative
|
||
of this word is identical to HARDY as well.
|
||
|
||
DEAL! (Deee'aaal!) is nearly defunct, but is mainly kept around to remember
|
||
the good old days, when Chris started doing this shit. It is a general-purpose
|
||
agreement word.
|
||
|
||
|
||
III. Second-level words
|
||
|
||
The part II words are the most commonly-used ones. These are less frequent,
|
||
but should not be considered unimportant.
|
||
|
||
|
||
YA KNOW [Phrase] (Ya Know'): This prefix is used as a confirmation to the
|
||
speakers opinion, with several permutations.
|
||
|
||
The speakers could use YA KNOW in the following ways:
|
||
|
||
Confirmation - "YA KNOW it's the greatest, right?"
|
||
Indication of pleasure - "YA KNOW ya love it"
|
||
Description - "YA KNOW it rocks" or "YA KNOW it rules"
|
||
|
||
|
||
WOOD [Object] (Wud'): This prefix is based on the premise that a
|
||
wood-carrying vehicle has SHEER POWER. So using this idea, a slew of phrases
|
||
emerges:
|
||
|
||
WOOD VAN
|
||
WOOD TRUCK
|
||
WOOD CAR
|
||
|
||
Please note: These phrases must be said in a very low, almost gutteral voice.
|
||
This increases impact tenfold.
|
||
|
||
|
||
O'GRADYS (Oh Gra'dees) The potato chip. This is used quite a lot to describe
|
||
pleasure with nearly everything. This is also the official snack food of O-T.
|
||
|
||
|
||
IT'S BACK, AND ITS AT ITS BEST: The familiar Bond slogan, used in O-T to
|
||
describe something that usually isn't considered important, but has somehow
|
||
gained status. (Ex: Check out that stereo, man. IT'S BACK, AND ITS AT ITS
|
||
BEST.)
|
||
|
||
Please note: This phrase could also be used with the YA KNOW prefix. (YA KNOW
|
||
IT'S BACK, YA KNOW ITS AT ITS BEST)
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
IV. Subtitutions
|
||
|
||
Of couse, substitutions of words abound. Here are a few cases:
|
||
|
||
Cars: CHROME-MOLLY, RUST-BUCKET, BADO-MOBILE
|
||
|
||
Skidding the car when accelating too fast: TIRE
|
||
|
||
A very plentiful amount of feces: A WOOD SPLITTING SHIT
|
||
|
||
A large expulsion of gas from the anus: A RIPPER (SHEER POWER!)
|
||

|
||
In conclusion, I hope this document has helped you in learning the use of one
|
||
of the country's great linguists, Chris Orcutt...
|
||
|
||
|
||
SO GO OUT THERE AND TIRE, CAUSE YA KNOW IT'S SHEER POWER AND ENERGY, RIGHT?
|
||
YEAH! YA KNOW IT RULES! CAUSE IT'S BACK AND AT IT'S BEST!
