    Yah I know this site but wich definition is the good one?

    1. Flossy
    Extremely flashy or showy.

    2. flossy
    Some one that is hot, sexy, or banging; Someone that you would fuck just by their looks.

    3. flossy
    Superficially stylish; Showy; Attracts attention with looks or nice things; similar to "bling"; someone or something that is considered cool, stylish, hot, expensive or attractive.

    could I replace gnarly by Extreme?

    I would say these are american terms and not english...

    If you said flossy to the majority of british people within the UK they would assume it’s something you clean your teeth with .

    well, to try to be somewhat helpful, what are you trying to say exactly? what are you getting at? is it for a shirt? perhaps people on here could help you better if they knew what you using these "gnarly" words for.

    Gnarly is an awesome word and doesn’t get used enough in my opinion

    I use gnarly when there’s a crazy skateboard trick or something. So to me, gnarly = crazy.

    gnarly can be used as both a good and bad adjective.

    lets say, you have a gross tasting sandwhich. you could say "this sandwich is GNARLY" or if a friend cuts his hand with a knife you could say "that’s a GNARLY gash!"

    but you could also use it positively, like "check out that GNARLY wave!" if you were a surfer or "that kickflip was GNARLY"....

    feel free to correct me people, i never say "gnarly" unless jokingly in a stereotypical surfer drawl...and of course you have to extend the R with gutteral sounds like "gnarrrrharharharly"

    as for "flossy' ive never heard anyone in california, sf to la, say "flossy' but i have heard flossin' (both verb and adjective) such as "he was flossin a gold chain" or "those rims are flossin!"...flossin' being akin to "blingin'

    lol i cant believe i just typed that all out ;p

    I’ve never heard the term "flossy" before..shiiit it’s probably because I’ve only got one year left in the 18-25 category.

    I live in the suburbs of Union City and some people here are still "hyphy" and a lot of people here act like the that Dance show on MTV is like the second coming of Jesus . . .

    This is a guy cleaning lint out of the clothes dryer. And 'Linty Fresh' is a play on words, changing the popular saying 'Minty Fresh'. Quite clever.
