Rapture ADAM Terminology and Slang :
There was a whole ADAM users 'Sub-Culture' that would have grown around its use - Normal uses (for work ...) and for the 'recreational' aspect of the products. There would be an early period - some being from commercials and advertisements, and then later there would be the 'civil war' terms. After that, more would probably be used by the inhabitants during the Chaotic Period. New Rapture would add more as the non-users ( ex-Splicers ) would have terms more of derision emphasizing the rejection of ADAM's use.
The Players could come up with new terms for all of these - No good using anachronistic 'Slang' from Our World - Original stuff please ... Some might be adapted from Popular Culture of the 1920s/30s/40s - before the Inhabitants came to Rapture.
No "Splice This Sucka !!!"
Comedy acts would come to include references to ADAM. Popular Songs, etc ...
Rapture Teenagers would no doubt come up with totally unintelligible phrases and verbiage ( as they always do ).
Newspapers and Literary sources would coin terminology for all the aspects of life ADAM and underwater living would affect.
Who knows what all the deranged Splicer Societies/Factions would have come up with.
"Squidin' "...
" Like a Lighthouse in a Chili Bowl " ( They don't have to make much sense when said by an ADAM_Addled Splicer )

Rapture Slang/Sayings :
MMORPG Players (creators) should create some new Slang/Sayings ( as well as employ real 'era slang' from 1940s/1950s ) for Rapture. With New (good) ones being added into the vernacular of the NPCs. Rapture had different eras each with their own situation and mentalities, which would allow different slang/saying usages.
* "Let's Blow this Medi-kit Stand !!!"
* "Got The Slug On His Back" - an ADAM User/Splicer showing the Addiction Effect
* "Red Eyes, You Dies." ('BD Warning' taught in grade school)
* "Play it again, Sander !!" - Famous line from a movie - "The Life Of Sander Cohen" ( Produced BY Sander Cohen )
* "The 'X' that Refreshes" ( a product slogan apparently reused endlessly Made worse when Sinclair started using ' The Suppository that Refreshes" in some advertisements. )
* "Seepin' Down" - Feeling bad ( allusion : as if your soul's basement was flooded with water )
* "Gimme Some Mo o' that ZapZap !!!" (Drug Slang)
* "Bort" as in "That's just so much Bort, Mac !!!Simpsons : Where Bart keeps finding "Bort" in gift shop name racks when he is looking for his own name ..." ( a city constable favorite phrase - origin lost to time )
* "Fucktaine That!!!" ( much more common AFTER Fontaine's heinous crimes were fully exposed )
* "Injector as Big as a fricken Knitting Needle" ( many people fear needles )
add more here
Hey, since we'd REDO the whole Columbia BS too, then lots of clever slang for that place too ( out of the Prophet's hearing or the Thought Police's, of course ).
* "Out of the Prophet's Ass" ( By the 10th anniversary, Comstock's public speech 'spewings' became as tiring as Hitler's Radio Speeches late in WW2 - A phrase only whispered to oneself, lest an Informer hear you ... ).
* "Hand me that BarfBag Clayton !!!" ( a modification of a phrase from a popular play )
* "Shepherd You !!" (curse)
* "Meee Gonna Fook You Upz" ( Handymen are such articulate and versatile speakers )
* "Going-To-Paris" - Delusional Ideas - referencing Hitlers One Day Visit in Paris After Conquering France"Hitlers One Day Visit in Paris After Conquering France" - Your 'history' moment for today ...
