As English is my second language, I learnt most of the vocabulary that I know now from songs and movies, which means as I spend most of my time listening to GD, they are my greatest vocab teachers :P

I remember the time I learnt GI Joe, I was like "wtf is that?" :lol:

Same!!!!!!!!

And I watched a lot interviews whith them.That's why I have a problem with "you know" sometimes.God, it's so catchy!

Posted

alienation

lobotomy

and some others i can't think of right now. there're many of them ^^.

well, I pretty much learned English by listening to Green Day

I didn't know many words and grammar knowledge was also missing before Green Day came into my life. I was translating their songs word by word and learned English.

Sometimes I didn't know the translated word in German so Green Day also introduced me to a lot of German words ...

Posted

I learn a lot of English with Green Day too, but the first thing that I learn from them was the ways that the word fuck can have

Posted

I remembered another few more:prosthetic,effigy,insomniac,riot,subliminal,redundant.

Posted

Nemesis is another word they taught me.

Posted

Drenched

Mastrabation

Jesus of Suburbia

-That's it

Vendetta is italian :lol: maybe also spanish...it means revenge

Haha "You Know" :D

And...Salmonella is italian too!! It's a disease

and Beretta is a type of gun! xD

Oh, beretta is a gun!

I thought it was some strange stretched form of 'beret' :lol:

It didn't really make sense my way xD

(But wait. With beretta meaning a gun it doesn't really make sense either...:huh:)

i Got Novacaine From Beck, 1994, Odelay

In what song is the word "malakite"? LOL, I don't think I've ever heard that word before in my life, although apparently I must have if it's in a song. :lol:

Gosh, there are so many words/phrases/definitions I've learned from Billie's songwriting. To name a few:

hired gun ("gun for hire" in Viva la Gloria)

lobotomy (Before the Lobotomy)

masochist (JOS)

propaganda (American Idiot)

sodomized (EJN)

effigy (KYE)

bureaucratic (American Eulogy)

critical mass (Viva la Gloria)

I'm listening to 21CB right now, so these are the only words I can come up with at the moment. I'm sure there are more, though.

Oh yeah - there's one phrase in particular I learned from an interview they did:

finger fucker :lol:
