96% of the students at my school are Apache (including me) and hardly anyone speaks Apache (which is sad). But we have our own slang and here's a few words you might here in my school...
K-yeah!
(Kee - Yeah)
Definition: It's like an Apache word for "Whoa!" or "Why are you doing that?"
Example: Say someone trips and knocks into you. So you're like, "K-yeah! Walk right!"
Kyah-hah!
(Kyah-hah)
Definition: It's like K-yeah. It can also lean towards, "What's wrong with you?" or that you're overreacting an emotion.
Example: If your sister sees you wearing her shirt and yells at you to take it off. You'll be like, "Kyah-hah! Calm down!"
Neow!
(It's like a cat meow with an n and you stretch out the 'ow' part.)
Definition: Neow means "Oh really? Impressive!" or "For real?".
Example: Your best friend says that her boyfriend bought her flowers for Valentine's Day, so you smile and say, "Neooow! Really?!"
Haw!
(Haa aww)
Definition: It's sort of like Neow but different in it's own way. It's a sound you make when you hear the latest gossip, funny/good news or something cheesy.
Example: Your best friend's boyfriend gave her a car. You smile and say, "Haawh! Does he have a brother?!"
Gaw!
(G Aww)
Definition: It's mostly used as, "That's mean!" or "Why are you being like that?" and "Harsh!"
Example: You hear someone making fun of the girl sitting in the bus seat in front of you. You say, "Gaww! How rude!"
Kyeh!
(Kyeh)
Definition: This word is used to tease someone or something. It can be used as "Are you sure?", "That's not true," or "I'm doubtful!"
Example: Your mom makes fun of you because you're carefully fixing your hair, "So girly!" You tell her, "Kyeh! No!"
I'm not sure I'm good at explaining these words above. I'm positive there's a website somewhere on our slang and maybe slang from other reservations too (there's different kinds of slang for every tribe). I'll try to look for one and see if it explains it better than I do.
Seriously,
Wicked
