weak

adj. An improper shortening of the phrase "made me weak" to simply the word "weak." This adjective implies that something is funny or otherwise capable of weakening one involved with it.

Person 1: *tells a funny joke*
Person 2: That was weak, yo.

In a good and correct world, person two would say, "That made me weak, yo."

Well, in a correct world, he wouldn't say yo, but whatever.

as a piece

An improper shortening of "as a piece of shit". This saying is similar to "as a bitch," in that it is meant to stress the preceeding adjective. This is the modern superlative. Instead of saying "This is the hottest day I've felt in some time." We have...

"It's hot as a piece."
