Thanks all, I've updated the list with your recent additions, keep 'em coming! But I must ask that drug related dicussion be refrained from. What other lot slang is out there?
We treat mishaps like sinking ships and I know that I don't want to be out to drift Well I can see it in your eyes like I taste your lips and They both tell me that we're better than this
i'm going where the sun keeps shining, thru' the pouring rain, going where the weather suits my clothes. backing off of the north east wind, sailing on summer breeze, and skipping over the ocean like a stone.

Good call on BFE... several people have asked about that...
One thing I noticed is that I think that heady means more than "good quality". I also use it to describe something that is hippie-ish. One of my friends who is a wanderer and I see him randomly at shows (saw him at 10klf last year) and he introduced his last girlfriend to me as his "Heady Mama". Another Ex: Upon seeing a girl in a colorful, flowy patchwork skirt one might say "Hey girl heady skirt!" Just thought Id throw that out there.
Also, Im not sure how many people know of this term but I use it and I have heard it elsewhere... this is the term "crunchy" to describe something that is heady/hippie/dank/etc. Ex: "You ready to go jam out to some crunchy tunes??" or "Hey Im goin to see Dark Star tonight." Friend replys "Crunchy!!" or "How was your spring break?" "Crunchy man I went to Langerado!"

Until by dirtbag ex-roommate stoled & sold it, I had a VERY rare record from the '30s dedicated to the alt-Jazz culture of the '20's (and before). Many of the songs repeatedly mentioned the "soothing smoke of the mighty muggles"! It was a great record...and VERY valuable!

Though it comes from the punk scene, I have the often heard the term "straight edge" to describe someone in the scene who abstains from alcohol or other substances.
Schwill - usually derogatory - 1. N - Usually the last couple sips of a beer that is 75% backwash and always air temperature. Commonly left in the can/bottle or dumped on the ground. 2. Prefix - GREAT addition to any name with double Ls. "Schwillary" "Bill always drinks everyones schwill at parties. Schwilliam needs to get a job and buy his own damn beer."
Yeah the term white hat comes from those university hats you see everywhere, they're almost always white...
University hats, tanning booths, hair gel, boat shoes or flip flops and pre worn abercrombie/american eagle shorts, a dave mathews t-shirt and toting a bud light can or three, now thats a white hat... I have a handfull of total whitehat friends hehe... Its great...
I grew up on long island, and you just described like 90% of the kids I went to High School with.
Reminds me of possibly the best music review Ive ever randomly read.
Jason Mraz Mr. A-Z Thanks to this ass-assassin we’re now aware of what the sonic parallel to being sodomized in jail sounds like. Mixing the “funky white guy” sounds of The Dave Matthews Band, and the rhythm-less hip hop “skills” of Will Smith, Jason Mraz has created the perfect soundtrack for attempting the impossible task of sucking your own d*ck. Rich white college guys with sideways trucker caps and pooka shell necklaces who are trapped in the closet are super psyched on this crap.
*i like coconuts, you can break them open they smell like ladies lyin in the sun** *Hell I don't even know where I am** *for now I must sit here and ponder the yonder: The herbivores did well cause their food didn't never run** *We listen, if it feels good We shake** *You made a big impression for a girl of your size, Now I can't get by without you and your big brown eyes.**

i disagree with the schwill definition.
scwhill - v. - a drink of beer, usually more than a sip adj. - not good, similar to schwag... .schwilly beer = bud light, keystone, natty, miller high life, etc etc

I have heard "5-0" way more than six up. Remind me of a funny story at a dead show awhile back. I was with a guy who lost his brother named "Bob" but he called him "Bobbo". While looking for his brother, he kept yelling Bobbo! looking for him, the way he yelled it, it sounded just like 5-0, everywhere we went everyone was packing their vending wares up and sketching out, I don't even think the guy doing the yelling noticed, but another guy and I were laughing our balls off. The trail of sketchiness lingered in his wake, all for the love of the missing Bobbo.

SNOB - I know its not usually used to describe a hippie. But around here its used to describe, well........ a hippie snob. These are hippies that think they're "better" than somebody else and act that way becuase they go to more shows, or do more substances, or just know music and the scene better.
I've sent in my application to the Real World. So I'm hoping to hear back from that. I'm putting A LOT of my eggs into that basket, the MTV basket. I'm also thinking about getting a gun, and dealing crack. Being a crack dealer. Not like a mean crack dealer, but like... like a nice one. Kinda friendly like, "hey, what's up guys? Want some crack?"
I've always preferred being called a "phossil" over "old fart" although they both mean older people who still go to shows and have a good time. In my younger years we called someone a "skrunt" if they had very conservative values, were very judgemental about it, and hated people having a good time.

This is my first Roo, but here are some terms/profiles used by my friends et al for fest police/security: Barneys.
The two main headings are Barney Millers (good cop), and Barney Fifes (bad cop). Permit me to splain...
Barney Miller will always announce his presence B4 stepping foot on your site. He completely agrees that if he doesn't see it, it isn't there. He doesn't want to hassle you, your stuff, or the ensuing paperwork any more than you want your stuff hassled away, or you hassled off the property. If he asks you a question, he isn't enlisting you as a Narc, he just wants to know if anybody's giving anybody a hard time around here. He respects the notion his presence is an interruption, and will leave quickly as long as you afford him due respect. He wants everybody to have a good time and get out in one piece so you'll come back with friends next time and spend more $$in his county. Peace officer.
Barney Fife has an inflated sense of authority. It doesn't matter that at present, you are merely sitting on your cooler, munching on beef jerky and drinking soda, he will still threaten you. This guy would cite his own mother for loitering if he could just catch her in the act. He believes there should be a temporary ordinance under the sub heading "Attempted Littering". He blames you for all HIS society's ills and wants you to pay, pay, pay. Do not taunt Barney Fife (as tempting as it may be), as it will only prolong his visit and create a mental sticky in his frontal lobe to visit you again at a more inopportune time.

You don't see many police officers inside the campgrounds but, the security at Roo are (for the most part) VERY cool and understanding. I guess that you could call them Miller-Lites! (Sorry, I couldn't resist)
