“The Diablo Code”

Per today’s Screenwriting 101 which features Diablo Codya, a H/T to Mystery Man for this from EmpireOnline.com: The Diablo Cod: A compilation of Diablo Cody-speak from Juno, The United States of Tara, and Jennifer’s Body. Here are a few of my favorites:

CSI, to go [adverb] To search an area thoroughly.

As heard in: United States Of Tara (“She probably went CSI.”)

Honest to blog [exclamation] Honest to God.

As heard in: Juno (“What? Honest to blog?”)

Pie balls [noun] Testicles.

As heard in: Juno (“The freakin’ receptionist was babbling away about her boyfriend’s freakin’ pie balls.”)

Zombitch [noun] A female zombie.

As heard in: Jennifer’s Body (“You killed Chip! You goddamn monster! You zombitch!”)

Expect more additions to Diablo Cody ‘slanguage’ as she’s been hired to write the film adaptation of “Sweet Valley High”. That’s bangin’!

And speaking of Mystery Man, tomorrow we have a Q&A with MM, a wide-ranging discussion on numerous subjects including his recent switch from blogging to Tweeting.
