Dictionary

In the classic days of years 9, 10 &11, AdamSpeak was the dialect spoken by many an ethereal inhabitant of Lab6's surroundings. Observe it's local twang:

Adégadé

Extremely odd word, derived from the need for a replacement for an evil laugh. Whenever an evil laugh would be appropriate, this would be more so. I think it evolved from 'cigarettes', one of the original batch of sounds.

Ba!

Nonsensical exclamation used by certain teachers and year heads to attempt to gain silence, or perhaps, at a long shot, control.

Bait

Derived from 'blatant', it is used in place of the word. For example, "You're baitly wrong." You always emphasize the 'bait' above any other word in the sentence.

Busteed

Being 'busteed' is the act of being caught. Derived from the word 'busted', obviously.

Cane, to

Verb. To beat somebody. To win. To do well. To be good (at something). For example, "I caned my experiment", "I caned it", "I'm caning this work", "Carmageddon II is the caningest" and "John Maynard Keynes".

Scain, to

A modernised version of 'cane', with all the same meanings.

Cruise, to

Verb. To visit a place. To visit somebody. To go to see somebody or someplace. To do something with little apparant effort. For axample, "Let's cruise Jimmé", "I cruised my homework"

D, the

Short for dictaphone - the recording method of champions. Also sometimes short for Digicam, the visual recording method of champions. Although a digicam is often a DC, and a videocamera is always a VC, so when you hear us talking about how we took a Victoria Cross into our lessons, you'll know that you are, in fact, mistaken.

Déodré

From the same school of thought that came up with Adégadé, this is the verbal wordage for Deodorant Can, which was the subject of much enlightening lighting in Chemistry and Biology.

Dis

An act of insolence, common to the population of Lab6. Also refered to as Jip.

Excelence

A special quality applied to all things that could be great, if only the situation had been drastically different.

Laough

Simply an enhancement of the word 'Laugh'. Explaining the pronunciation is diffucult, as is the pronunciation. The 'L' should be pronounced like the 'l' in 'bell'', the 'aou' should be pronounced like the 'ao' in Mao Tsetung (Power to the people with the ill behaviour. How wonderful.) and the 'gh' should be pronounced like the 'f' in 'half'. This twisted form of speech was applied to other words such as lighter (laoghter) and later (lao). It can, in fact, be applied to almost any vowel sound.

Lameatic-Bentitus

Fake disease, thought up for the the purposes of an RPSE coursework. It appeared in a big list of real diseases, so the person marking it never read it (although you'd think that, in doing their job, they would have...). Needless to say, the coursework received a commendation, showing how an extremely small amount of work can receive extremely high praise. Especially in a subject like this one.

Num'sein

Abbreviation of "Know what I'm saying?" which is in turn an abbreviation of "Do you know what I am saying?" which in turn is an abbreviation of "Are you aware of what information I am trying to verbally convey to your cognitive thought centres?"

Or Su'ink

Abbreviation of "Or Something"

Plick

General insult. Also, splick, splicker, spilck and pilck are interchangable with it, and with each other.

Yeah Noi

Started off as 'Yes, Nice', then as 'Yeah Nice', then as 'Yeah Noice'. Best said in completely monotone voice. Often spelt 'yeanoi'.

Be sure to use them all regularly in conversation. Actually, they would make a pretty good code, as even if the germans (say, for example) did manage to break the encryption, they still wouldn't have a clue what was being said.

The standard 'l33t sp33k dialect also applies to many parts of our culture, the most popular abbreviations being 'lo' for "Hello", 'w3rd' for "Hello" and 'y0' for "Hello". Simple analysis of our IRC logs will reveal the rest, although they aren't mentioned here since everybody uses them, and so are not special to us. Mind you, neither are those ones.

Phrases and other words (that were spelt the same and pronounced the same, but had a different meaning) were also used as well:

Teacher Beats

Being badly reprimanded for mass non-compliance, or some other petty offence.

Lynz

Simply a better spelling of the word 'lines'. Lynz are one of the founding cornerstones of Lab6, a perfect example of how a teacher's punishment can be turned around into something of vast amusement and fame.

Ped'

See Low, for one meaning (for this one, you should use the apostrophe), but it can be used to describe any average, normal, common, boring person, in which case it is simple spelt Ped, with no apostrophe.

Beat Bars

Devised during a 'Slow lesson in Year 9, these mythical implements of crowd control/fun are made entirely out of Coal and Iron, for no reason other than those being the only raw materials avaiLable for construction. Recent thought on the subject revealed them to be manufactured by the thousand, because they are only usable once - during the beating, they bend around whatever shape it was you were trying to beat, thus rendering them ineffectual. Although nobody has ever seen a real beat bar, they are thought to be a cross between the crowbar in Half-Life and a piece of chalk. But with the texture and consistency of tar. With a tangy pepper taste. No hang on...

<INHALE>

This is a complex 'phrase' to master, as it involves no words. After saying something either in the spirit of extreme jip, or otherwise amusing to the surrounding population as a whole, a sharply inhaled breath is required (through the nose, so as to be audible, and to appear to have flared nostrills). The following conversation is a good example:
Jimmé: What are you doing? Adam: Havin' a laough <INHALE>

Export

It means to steal something from the lesson, and get it out out into safe territory, for example, "He's going for the Hazcards!" would be followed by "Now export them!"

The End of Lesson Rumble

Every single lesson, about five minutes before the end, you can hear the scraping of chairs (and sometimes tables) as people get up and prepare to leave. It usually happens during the last lesson of the day, but often in other lessons as well.

Chain Room Change

When an undesirable lesson appeared, we would often get a piece of paper and write the words, "Period 5 - Chemistry. Go to Room 52 with books and pens". It didn't matter that Room 52 didn't exist - it just added to the fun. If redirecting to a real room, a notice would be put on THAT room, which redirected to another, and so on. This is a chain room change. A Looped Chain Room Change is one where you are directed back to the original room.

Mathamaticoragology

A (hopefully) fake subject, used to impress lowly teachers as you walk past them. There are lots of variations, like Psycho-Mathamaticoragology and Geomathamaticoragology. Of course, any long word will do for this.

Also, the following modifications can be made to certain words: Verbs can be enhanced by adding -lington or -age to the end, for example, "The Towerage was tallington."

And this one's also common to the general populus of the Internet: Plural Nouns and other Nouns ending with -ckerer or -ckers can be changed to -x0r or -x0rs, for example, 'knocker' becomed 'knox0r'. Our local variation removed the need for the ck/x, so for example "Sam" can become "Sam0r". This becomes identical to the two suffixes above.

If you have Quake 2 and the Eraser bot, you can get them to talk AdamSpeak at you by replacing the chat.txt file with this one:

AdamSpeak Chat.txt file - updated 20th February 1999

A friend of ours has been busy making a mIRC script that does, and I quote, "Ab-speak".

Evil Words

These words are evil. Make sure you don't use them in our presence or a swift bludgeoning with the nearest object, blunt or otherwise, will be in order.
