Teen Slang?

Question

What does it mean when they say, "Yeah, I went over to Tom's house. It was dry."? What is 'dry' in refernce to? Sounds like no alcohol , but I want to hear from the teens or those that know for certain.

Answer 1

seems to me like it means it was boring or no one was there. that's what I'd think anyway

be careful using urban dictionary it depends on what context the term is used and where the people are from who posted it.

Answer 2

Sounds to me like either Tom's house was not covored in water, or it had no alcohol/drugs.  Tom better watch out for fires, if he keeps his house dry it will burn easier!!!!!!!

Answer 3

When drugs become hard to get hold of in a specific area...but a lot of teens say things they don't understand, so it could mean that they were bored....

Answer 4

ya it sound like they were talking about alcohol or weed.........but really it could have been alot of other things so dont jump to conclusions

Answer 5

its was boring;

Answer 6

Don't automatically assume it is a reference to drugs:

According to http://thesurrealist.co.uk/slang.cgi?ref... the term dry is an exclamation of surprise.

According to http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.ph... the term dry could be several things like the act of something very plain, boring  - or, when someone says a joke and it's stupid it's dry - or, When drugs become hard to get hold of in a specific area.

I hope this helps!

This isn't teen slang. "Yeah, I went over to Tom's house," he said dryly. Dryly means with no emotion, so just monotone-ish. So dry would mean nothing special happened or it was boring.
