				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>12 New Slang Terms for the New Year 2013</h1>
<p>and a few old dated slang to avoid.</p>
<p>Already the new<div id="attachment_80" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 650px"><a href="http://multilingualbooks.com/wp/languagenews/files/2011/10/IMAG1254-e1318794450178.jpg"><img src="http://multilingualbooks.com/wp/languagenews/files/2011/10/IMAG1254-e1318794450178.jpg" alt="" title="Rosco " width="640" height="384" class="size-full wp-image-80" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Roscoe rests after picking the top slang words</p></div> year has begun, and the question is what is cool, and what words are<br />
out of style? After spending zillions of hours of raking through the data, talking to peeps, and watching stuff, we present the words you need to know for 2013, plus a bonus letter, and Google trend charts to back us up. </p>
<p><strong>In Slang Terms for 2013 </strong></p>
<p><strong>1. Spranqles</strong><br />
Winning the award for the number one word is quite an honor, it makes me want to say Spranqles, you should rise your voice at the last syllable. Sprankles is still in wide use, 2013 requires  a new spelling however.<br />
Sprankles and Spranqles will open so many doors for you will think your Carlos castenda. (Doors of perception)</p>
<p><strong>2. Wavy</strong><br />
Ahh so relaxing just saying it, imagine being it.</p>
<p>&#8212;-Bonus Letter&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br />
<strong>Q  &#8211; yes Q is the hottest letter you can say,</strong><em> change a C or K to Q for added effect in Facebook posts.<br />
&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;</p>
<p><strong>3. Let&#8217;s Bounce</strong><br />
Why say goodbye when you can bounce away? Sometimes you must leave, and don&#8217;t have time for the still hip-<br />
See you later Alligator.</p>
<p><strong>4. Super-Sweet</strong><br />
Sweet and super-sweet show that you think something is awesome.</p>
<p><strong>5. Fo Shizzle</strong> (ad &#8220;my nizzle&#8221; when appropriate)<br />
Sure is not always enough.</p>
<p><strong>6. Mreoow</strong><br />
Sometimes word&#8217;s just don&#8217;t do it. And people Meoww, mreoow is much more stylin.</p>
<p><strong>7. Legit</strong><br />
legit is Making a comeback as peeps are just tired of lying douches. This word has varied uses, all are complimentary.</p>
<p><strong>8. Chilling</strong><br />
Relaxing is important, the long form of this word is Chilling like a Villain.</p>
<p><strong>9. Noob </strong><br />
Being a rookie a newcomer is a long-lasting concept in society which there will always be words for.<br />
Use Noob and you will not sound like one.</p>
<p><strong>10. Qrackling</strong><br />
I am going to a Qrackling New Years Party.</p>
<p><strong>11. Bumping</strong><br />
This party is bumping.</p>
<p><strong>12. Stylin</strong><br />
This can be a person or a thing.</p>
<p>Avoid-</p>
<p>LOL that is not a word meant to pronounce, some people trully seem annoyed by it.<br />
Rookie- This isnt a football game so don;t use Rookie, use Noob</p>
<p>Way- just avoid it please.</p>
<p>Dont overuse-<br />
Bro- so many words for friend and this one os often used when people are lecturing people so it is losing its luster.</p>
<p>Radical- Any word for good is OK, still rad and radical are quite dated.</p>
<p>K- K is short and sweet, and a word that can be beat.</p>
<p>Of course slang is always changing and we are working hard to make sense of it all. What slang is popular? What slang is out? This is tricky to figure, so we tapped Google trends to aid in our research. The first chart has some random new and old slang and as you can see cool is still cool a while hip is slipping.</p>
<p><script type="text/javascript" src="//www.google.com/trends/embed.js?hl=en-US&#038;q=the+bomb,+cool,+hip,+bling,+fo+shizzle&#038;cmpt=q&#038;content=1&#038;cid=TIMESERIES_GRAPH_0&#038;export=5&#038;w=500&#038;h=330"></script></p>
<h2> In this chart we compared a few words for &#8220;good&#8221; </h2>

Halloween conjures up scary images. Scare and horror are often associated with the season. All over the world, the concept of Halloween has always been related to what can send shivers up the spine. Blood and gore are some of the most common images presented and evoked to represent the Halloween touch. </p>
<p>Looking at the list of Billboard.com’s top ten Halloween songs, the images of the devil, witches, the grim reaper, nightmares, hell, werewolves, death, and monsters are the common themes. Paranoia towards these images seems to be the overarching popular impression of the Halloween concept. </p>
<p>Multilingual Books <a href="http://multilingualbooks.com/foreignvids-scarymovies.html">foreign movie section</a> has great scary movies, for more choices read on.</p>
<h1>Billboard.com’s top ten Halloween songs may be the all-time most popular Halloween music across the world’s populations.</h1>
<p> At Number 10 is the good old rock and roll &#8220;Witchy Woman&#8221; by the Eaglesabout a lady casting a spell. The song was 1972’s No. 9 on the Billboard Hot 100. Coming next at Number 9 is Van Halen’s &#8220;Runnin&#8217; With the Devil.&#8221;Rockwell’s &#8220;Somebody&#8217;s Watching Me&#8221; is Number 8. The song speaks of paranoia while one constantly looks over the shoulder. &#8220;Don&#8217;t Fear the Reaper&#8221; by Blue Oyster Cultcomes in at Number 7. It is about a man trying to invite his girl to join him in his death-friendly ways. Hip-hop Halloween music is Number 6 with &#8220;A Nightmare on My Street&#8221; by D.J. Jazzy Jeff &#038; the Fresh Prince (a.k.a. Will Smith). This is about Freddy Krueger, the villain in &#8220;Nightmare on Elm Street.&#8221; Number 5 is the black-metal song &#8220;Highway to Hell&#8221; by AC/DC. Warren Zevon’s “Werewolves of London&#8221; comes in at Number 4. Ray Parker Jr.’s &#8220;Ghostbusters&#8221; is Number 3, while &#8220;Monster Mash&#8221; by Bobby &#8220;Boris&#8221; Pickett &#038; the Crypt-Kickers is Number 2. The top Halloween music according to Billboard.com is Michael Jackson’s &#8220;Thriller.&#8221; It is the most-downloaded Halloween music of all-time, with digital sales of over 2.8 million.</p>

<p>Assuring frightening thrills and fun are Yahoo’s best Halloween movies of all time. These exciting movies include “Fun Size” (2012), Tim Burton’s “Frankenweenie” (2012), “The Possession” (2012), “Casper” (1995) with Christina Ricci, the Halloween classic for all ages “It&#8217;s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown” (1966), “The Witches” (1999) which is based on the book by Roald Dahl, “Beetle Juice” (1988), “The Goonies” (1985),<br />
the Harry Potter Series, “E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial” (1982), the all-time kid-scary “Monsters, Inc.” (2001),“Hocus Pocus” (1993) with the three witches played by Sarah Jessica Parker, Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy,“The Addams Family” (1991), Demi Moore’s “Ghost” (1990), “Edward Scissorhands” (1990) with Johnny Depp, “The Nightmare Before Christmas” (1993), “Young Frankenstein” (1974), “Corpse Bride” (2005) with voices by Johnny Depp and Helena Bonham Carter, “The Craft” (1996), and<br />
“Ghost Busters” (1984).</p>
<p>The scariest movies of all time will have to include the bone-chilling “The Shining,” an adaptation of Stephen King’s novel by filmmaker Stanley Kubrick. Other spine-tingling Halloween movies include the aptly-titled “Halloween” series with its countless gory murders, “Poltergeist” with its unforgettable haunted home, the “A Nightmare on Elm Street” series that madeFreddy Krueger the all-time favorite nightmare,“Alien” which is the ultimate horror-sci-fi movie, the black and white film“Night of the Living Dead,” the blood-curdling “The Exorcist,” “Seven” that explores shock and fright, and the raunchy musical “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” What is probably the ultimate of all Halloween movies is “The Silence of the Lambs” where the chilling portrayal of Anthony Hopkins as Dr. Hannibal Lecter the Cannibal is pitted against Jody Foster’s FBI agent Clarice Starling’s steel of nerves.</p>
