single-syllable reply

Constantly replying with "yea. No. Sure. K. Nice. Kden" and other such meaningless and mostly non existing words. It is a great way to get even your friends to hate you

Pers 1: Hey dude, I just earned $100 of your painting! the guy loved it!
Pers 2: Cool.
Pers 1: Can you please stop the single-syllable reply?!
Pers 2: Sure.

Syllabuster

The best day of each college quarter/semester when the professor filibusters the class with the contents of the Syllabus, attempting to scare students with threats of; "no late work accepted" and "academic integrity." Students take this opportunity to scout the class for any prospective underclassmen.

Guy 1: Is this Syllabus ever going to end

Guy 2: He is Syllabustering us because you know he didn't have anything prepared for the first day

Guy 1: True... Check out the warlocks on that Freshman to your left

Syllabeats

When your parents spank you in syllables. Every time they say a word (or a syllable in a word) they hit you with the belt, or other switch-like or blunt object, simultaneously. If you put your hand over your butt they start over.

Mom: Don't! *smack* You! *smack* Ever! *smack* Talk! *smack* Back! *smack* To! *smack* Me! *smack* Again! *smack*

Hoodrat: OW! Not syllabeats! I'm sorry! OW!

-"You glad to be back from Christmas break?"
-"Hell yeah, it's syllabus eve, easy class tomorrow, lets get white boy wasted!"
-"Happy Syllabus eve!"

syllabus

a giant fucking packet of papers containing an outrageous quantity of material that is to be learned within two days before a comprehensive final exam in a medical school endocrinology course.

Scott: "Hey Jack, did you read the syllabus for today's lectures yet?"

Jack: "Yea, I started, but I only made it 1/100th of the way through before I hemorrhaged out of my ears because it's such a fucking behemoth of material."

Words of one syllable or less

Phrase used when advising somebody of facts /an issue /and explanation (etc) using the most simplest of words in order that they may understand.

Often associated with 'full and frank conversation' the phrase 'words of one syllable or less' is actually gramatically incorrect in its use of 'or less' (essentially 'or less' makes no sense whereas 'or fewer' would be correct) but nicely conveys the situation.

Believed to have originated with the staff of Britain's railways in Southern England.

"What do you mean Bert has done it wrong again?

I'd better go and explain how to do it in words of one syllable or less"

syllable

Something that nobody on urban dictionary realizes exists. As can be easily seen through the pronunciation of words like wordcool. Note that multiple pronunciations have multiple hypens, and a hyphen denotes a syllabic break, when cool is only one syllable and needs no hyphenation.

Cool is a one syllable word, but apparantly is pronounced K-ew-l, which is 3 syllables.
Slut is also one syllable, but according to some jackass, it is pronounced S-Lut.
