It's been firmly established that the new slang world for "bad" or "uncool" is "Creed".
An example:
...and believe me, outside the reds the cool people are far and few between. In fact, I'd go as far to say that we're all pretty Creed.
See? Doesn't in just roll off the tongue/keyboard?
For a lower key sort of lame? Not quite Creed... but definitely still bad? Maybe a more exhausted kind of lame, like it's really lame... but it's been lame for so long that we're sort of sick of even refering to it? We're using "Korn"...
An example:
She's definitely not any sort of Hal-level Creed but, yeah, I'd say she's Korn all right.
Other new slang:
Meta - cool
Bush - talking big but not knowing what they're talking about
Cheney - allowing horrible things to happen to accomplish their larger goals
An example:
"Would it totally be un-meta of me to pull a Cheney and let Stormin' Norman get away with being such a Korn for a while? I mean, he's still pretty Creed but in more of a Bush way lately... I feel like I have to save up my flame points for the next time Hal takes another big Buffalo '66 all over the board..."
