- Ate it: Fell down, presumably while trying something challenging on a
skateboard, roller skates, bicycle, surf board, or while body surfing.

- Ate concrete: Subset of ate it: Fell off a bicycle, roller skates or
skateboard, onto concrete. Typically results in road rash.

- Wiped out: Synonym for ate it.

- Got Maytagged: While surfing or body surfing, when the wave crashes
on top of you and whirls you around vertically.

- Faceplant: Ate it, landing on your face.

- Roadrash: Removal of the first, and some of the second layers of skin
after eating concrete.

- Stoked: Happy, satisfied

- Gnarly (antideluvian from 80's): Sort of like "awesome", but also
meaning either difficult and probably dangerous, or doing something
difficult, and probably dangerous.

Partial sample paragraph: Deeeuuuuddd, shooting that gnarly part
of Sepulveda Pass today on my longboard, I ate it big time, so now I
have roadrash from my chest to my toes. At least I didn't do a
faceplant like last week. To forget my troubles, I went body surfing at
Venice, caught a gnarly eight footer, and got maytagged. Now I'm stoked.


Hey deeeuuuuddd, doooooncha understand English, maaaaan?
