I found Adventure Time through the free on demand feature on my cable. Within one episode, I was hooked. I grew up in the heyday of Nickelodeon cartoons (Rocko's Modern Life, Doug, Aaahh!!! Real Monsters, Kablam!, Hey Arnold!, among others...) and Looney Tunes repeats. It's amazing to find a new cartoon that I love as much as I loved those.
They have crazy fun with words. I put together a list of some of the best slang from Adventure Time including quotes, definitions, usage and parts of speech where appropriate. Definitions are drawn from the best guess I can make from context.
