Let's speak Eye everyone.
While the people of Mars technically still speak English debate divides. The change of pressure, extensive use of Whatsapp meant certain phrases evolved, particularly among Martian teens
Amslut ( Southern Mars): I am going to science the shit out of this: 'I'm thinking', 'I will think' positive statement about using calculation to think about something.
Bud: Friend/buddy also used originally as 'over' when wearing a space suit.
Dome alone: I'm on my own.
Eye, The Eye: Local word for 'Mars'. Refers to the partly completed orbital mirror which forms 'iris' around the planet.
Eye Born: Human born on Mars. 'Martain' being reserved for odd signs of now extinct life.
Eva/Evey: Extra-Vehicular Activity. Leaving a pressurized location. General reference to leaving a safe zone to go somewhere dangerous ( 'Don't EVA on your relationship for the sake of one night with that Harlot yakwim). Also to travel. 'He EVAed his ass to First foot print city to find that present for you'
Fems: Girls/Woman semi-demeaning term. 'You should go to the party it's fem city yakwim' ok if Girls/Women. Example "Thanks for that I love All yous Fems.
Femfriends: Girl/Women friends
That's a pit stop: Phrase That is a drag, that's a set back.

Leflut: Let's fuck the science in this. Let's get on with it.
Slyslish (Northen Mars): Let's science the shit of out this: Let's think about this/sit back and calculate 'before we depressurize let's slyslish if we have enough air to get back' . Also term of friendly abuse for scientists. 'Who's the slyslish in the white coat?'
Sol: Martain Day - sometimes used to Eye 'up' things Birthday-> Birthsol. Bad day at the office -> Bad sol at the office. Sol was originally used to tell between Earth ( 24 hours ) and Mars ( 24.4 hours)days as they slowly get out of sync. Now used to show how 'patriotic' a Martain is.
Solorrow: Tomorrow (on Mars) - Northen mars.
Nextersol: Tomorrow ( on Mars) - . See also Solorrow
I'm on my last bottle: Something is running out for me, historically this referred to oxygen supply on a surface mission. 'You take another cookie and I'm going to get mad. I'm on my last bottle about this, got that?'

Pack down : local Marcore-Freerunning term for landing for leap. 'I took a big pack down form the block and sprained my ankle'
Fluteing: Eye swearword.
