I learned what Orange Mocha Frappachino was from watching Bullet in a bible. I was only about 12, and i don't like coffee, so i guess that's why i didn't know what it was.

[Hermione]

The only word I've learned because of Green Day is "salud". Took me ages to find out what it meant too, since it's Spanish so it obviously wasn't in the English dictionary I was looking in. I think I finally found out what it meant from someone on here.

[Nikki_Nimrod]

Since i was only ten when i started listening to Green Day i've learnt quite a few....propaganda, pulverize, vigilante, insubordinate, barrio, salmonella, masturbation, vendetta, methamphetamine, and some others i can't think of at the moment haha. I've actually had quite a few vocabulary tests with questions i've only known the answers to because of Green Day songs

[Elissa.]

I find myself saying y'know in daily conversation

[HoneyDo666]

beretta=semi-automatic gun of some sort

Not to be confused with buratta, which is a giant ball of mozzarella--quite delicious actually. That's what I thought Billie was saying for a while

[troPunK]

I often use to say "Victim of Authority" when I use to see such situations happening, usually in politics

Apart from that:

Whatsername

Whatshisface

Brink

Panhandling

Lushotology

deceivers

static-age

[-Billiejoezee-]

I've learned everything from them. mostly Drugs.

[Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love]

Haha, loads of words, mainly because English isn't my native language. I'm not even making a list because it would be endless

But for words I didn't know in Dutch either (after I translated it from English to Dutch)... not many.

The only ones I can think of right now are lobotomy, malachite and sassafras (although the latter two aren't even in my dictionary.)

Granted, I haven't looked up all the words I don't know in English, but still.

I don't really think that's fair to say, though, because it's quite possible the the dictionary has the simplest translation of words, so yeah. idk

[janiliz06]

Oh my I have a lot. and ones that are in progress on finding out what they are .cause english isnt my native language.

some words are really odd is not even in the dictionary still to these day I dont know what malachite or banshee are just to name some.

beretta=semi-automatic gun of some sort

I didnt know what beretta means... so thanks.

[HoneyDo666]

Malachite=a green stone, so Billie uses it as a metaphor for his eyes

Banshee=a hag or woman/monster. There's a banshee in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban when all the students are fighting off the Bogart.

Hope that helps!

[Demented or Disturbed]

I think I have a pretty good vocabulary, but every once in a while I have to go look up one of their lyrics I've learned what malachite, sassafras, extortionist, neo-gentrified, maladjusted, lobotomy, sodomy, clout, deadbeat, eulogy, non-denominational, dog and pony show, novacaine, vegging, effigy, liquidated, pressure cooker, panhandled, molotov cocktail, salt of the earth, contraband, patron saint, jilted, salad days, charlatan, catch 22, and xanex mean.

When I was little and I first heard Basket Case I learned melodramatic and neurotic XD I've personally always thought that crosstops was another word for crossroads. The Foxies also taught me strychnine. I love words and the fact that my favourite band is teaching me new ones make me very happy

[GoodRiddanceGE]

I´m German so Green Day tought me almost every single English vocabulary Particularly words like contradiction, moron, deadbeat, booze... And the list goes on and on because I still learn from them today!

[Marki.]

English is not my first language, so Green Day taught me a million words They're the reason I am good at english - my friends always ask me when they don't know something in their english homework and I'm like: I am NOT a vocabulary , I don't know everything xD And they're always like: "Yes you are, how can you know THIS word?" "Just listen to Green Day, that's it!" I learn some new words from GD songs everyday

[Poo Flinger]

Cuz you still get points for being close to target in horseshoes, and with hand grenades, if you're close you still blow up what you were aiming for.

You get points for being close in horseshoes?!

My English got much better after staring listening to Green Day But also b/c I started to hung out here at GDC where I had to both write and read in English all the time. So thank you Green Day and GDC for giving me B+ in English grade.

[NaturalxDisaster]

I've learned a lot from them, and my English got much better when I started listening them And it was also easy for me to study English, maybe because everything my teacher taught me i could relate with the songs, and the vocabulary too.

[davegrohllover]

You know , You Know, You know, LOL Something like that.
