Answer 1

Pep talk - means insipirational speach. Saying something to get people motivated.

Make out - means kissing with your tongues or french kissing

broad - a women people dont like

prissy - means very "girly" and very formal. Typically girls with money.

Answer 2

Pep: to cheer up. A pep talk would get somebody up and going before a big game. It's a motivational tool. Also, see Pep rally, an event at schools before a game to get students riled up.

Make out: Usually it means to kiss someone for a long time.

Broad: Slang for woman.

Prissy: REally into girly stuff like make up. A prissy person wouldn't go camping or roll in the mud.

Answer 3

Pep is another word for energy, so a "pep talk" is a talk or a speech given by someone, often to a sports team or someone about to enter a competition, to get them excited and ready to go.

To "make out" is to kiss someone for an extended period of time.

A "broad" used the way you're talking about is an older slang term for a woman. It came into use sometime around the 1930's.

Someone who is "prissy" is very particular about their appearance and their environment. They would like things to be neat and clean and perfect all the time.

Hope that helps!

Answer 4

Pep = energy and enthusiasm. A pep talk is meant to encourage you. Scholastic sports teams often have school pep rallies before important games.

Make out = hugging, kissing, petting, foreplay

Broad = a woman, usually one with a strong character and personality. Some consider it insulting, but not all. Crazy broads would be insulting.

Prissy = effeminate and spoiled can apply to a man or a woman

Answer 5

Pep talk is a motivational speech (Given often to teams to give them confidence)

Make out is a tern used for kissing or heavy petting.

Broad is a term used for women (Not a very nice one and most women don't like being called Broad)

Prissy is usually used to describe a girl, very picky about the way they look, want the best of everything, sometimes act bettter than other people.

Answer 7

pep talk - a discussion that boosts the morale of the team/group/person. Example: Football coaches usually give pep talks to their teams before a big game.

make out - kiss for a while. may involve pleasent touching of other areas. Example: I made out with my boyfriend at the movies last night.

Broads - women. this is not an acceptable term. don't use it.

Prissy- stuck up. Example: There were a lot of prissy girls in my high school.

Answer 8

A pep talk is a talk you give to raise a team's spirits just before the big game or before the troops go into battle. It reinforces the goals of the situation so that you do your best.
To make out is to kiss....a lot.
A broad is term for a woman, I can't get more specific than that but I know one when I see one.
A prissy is like a stuck up, elitist girl/woman.

Explaining vernacular is hard....

Answer 9

Pep is like posititive energy. A pep rally is used to get people excited about something.

A Broad is a woman.

Make out is kissing and fondling,

if you are being prissy you are being a girlie man

Answer 10

"Pep" means to have an invigorated good feeling, so to 'give a pep talk' means to cheer them up and make someone happy
to 'make out' is for two people to begin kissing
'broad' is an old term from the 1940's that is a reference to a 'woman', so 'crazy broads' is 'crazy women' (it was not originally viewed as a negative thing to say, but it is currently a rude way to describe a woman)
"prissy" is to be pretentious, to act arrogant

Answer 11

Pep just means to build up someone. Giving them a 'pep' talk will hopefully encourage them to get the job done or to face a fear they have been avoiding.
Make out means to kiss and/or have sex.
Broad means females.
Prissy means someone who thinks they are better than everyone else.
