Thanks, gardenschooler!

 

I was curious if it was regional thing or just my boys or nationwide?

 

But it looks like 100 people read this and no one took my poll. Unless I can't see the results?

 

Oh well.

 

ETA:

I found the results. I'm a dork. Thanks, everyone!

...I think I might try to get it going in my area, lol! :D

 

(Of course, a thirtysomething saying it is probably going to shut it down quick, lol. Like my hopes for reviving "Bip!" as a replacement for "Oh, Snap!")

My kids use it all the time. Here is a primer from ds:

 

"That's beast" means "That's cool", "That's awesome,"etc. (adj)

If "You're a beast guitar player" that means you're a really skilled guitar player. (adj)

"You're a beast." You're cool. (noun)

You can "beast" something, like "You beasted that test." You aced the test (verb)

"Beastly" same as "beast".

There is a band called the Beastie Boys, but ds doesn't know if the terms are related.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "That's beast!" (To the best of my understanding, it means something is great in a tough, manly, aggressive kinda way :glare:)

 

 

 

Kids here use it all the time. If it originally had a manly/aggressive sound to it, I think that must have been diluted, because here Grandma is "beast" if she makes awesome marshmallow brownies.

 

I would say it's most often used, though, to describe victory or competence - as in "That new girl who beat Sharapova was BEAST today."
