NowhereBound Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 well, i started to listen to Green Day when i was younger...and i learned what words meant but maybe not the best ones Masturbating (as you can tell, not the best word to know the meaning of)Whore (not the best word to know the meaning of either)silhouetteslumsand others, but I can't think of any...
RebelofSuburbia Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 well english isn't my native language and I started listening to Green Day when I was 15, so there obviously were some new words I learned. But most of those weren't like 'new words' to me. As in, once I knew the translation in dutch there was no confusion about the meaning of the words. words I remember looking up are vigilant, vendetta, platypus ( I had no idea they were called like that in english) , malakite, desensitized.. there's probably more.
Sharmellow Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I just read through the lyrics of Song of the Century, 21CB, and KYEWords I didn't/don't know the meaning of:ContrabandProsperityRefineryEffigyI don't know what those words mean. I'll go look them up. Dictionary.com
Ally Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Okay, this one is going to make me sound like an idiot, but they taught me the word Minority. I still remember asking my mom what it meant and afterward saying "But why would you want to be the minority?"yeah i wouldnt have know what minority meant either but the day i heard that song for the first time, i had a psychology lesson and we did minorities in that and then i realised what the word meant that i'd heard in the morning
Daughter.of.Rage.and.Love Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I don't know what those words mean. I'll go look them up. Dictionary.com Great, than I don't have to do it xDI'm way too lazy to look up the words I don't know, only when I'm curious I sometimes look them up. (and of those words, I've looked up about the half of it, but I forgot what they meant)
rage-love-life Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Well, i didn't say i knew how to spell it it took me YEARS to figure out what he was actually meaning to say.He's referring to his green eyes when he says "hold my malachite so tight". If that isn't absolutely genius songwriting then i don't know what is.That really is genius. What they taught me was a lot of swears. And other words that I don't remember.
Anja Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 She holds my green mineral so tightly, oh never let go?haha. I'm so confused.I read years ago that a malakite is something like a stone so I´d guess that Billie gave her a malakite as a gift and wants her to hold it.They actually taught me about half of my today´s vocabulary But that´s because english isn´t my first language. Mary Jane would be one of those words plus Sassafras, Malakite and thousand others.

They do it to "crazy" people in an attempt to make them normal. But half the time it fucks them up and leaves them brain dead.
Nele Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Green Day taught me all bad words I know. :devil: ok, it was mainly GD and GDC.

(I had to buy it for school, the only times I've ever used it was for GDC xD). And about lobotomy; that's what it means. I guess it's meant like that suddenly something changed his mind (I'm guessing you're asking it because of BTL?)

Lauren Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Platypus when I'm insulting someone.Also, dookie. I say it all the time."Stop being a dookie head." (playful insult)"What the dookie!?""Holy dookie!""I feel like dookie on a stick." (I don't feel well)"You're the coolest dookie head i know!" (compliment)
Rezurgam Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 They introduced the phrase "You know" into my vocabulary.
iLozza! Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Because I'm so badly educated and don't come across long words often, I've found out:MasochistLobotomyEulogyInsurgencyPoprocks, I'm afraid to admit.Contraband shocking, I know.
Lauren Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 I read years ago that a malakite is something like a stone so I´d guess that Billie gave her a malakite as a gift and wants her to hold it.I think it's really spelled "malachite". and it's a type of rock. you know, like how jewelry is made out of rocks. so it's like a necklace.
saintcarlos Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 Got this from Urban Dictionary.3. crosstop A penis where the urinary opening is a cross."No rest for crosstops in my mind"-Green Day
GreenDayGummyBear Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 the day after the new album came out i found out what eulogy mant in english class. we were told to write a eulogy, i just wrote the fist part before part A., my teacher got mad. (she hates green day, think they are un-american)
Eirik Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 They introduced the phrase "You know" into my vocabulary.Yeah, never watch a lot of Billie's interviews while learning english, that shit'll fuck you up..
GreenDayGummyBear Posted June 23, 2009 Posted June 23, 2009 i also figured out what sodomy is. (sodomized from ejn)
