THE NEW DUDESPEAK

San Dimas, Calif., high schoolers William S. Preston Esq. (Alex Winter, top) and Ted ''Theodore'' Logan (Keanu Reeves, left) established a ''most excellent'' language of their own in the 1989 movie Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure. In this month's Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, the ''party-on'' patois continues: * Melvined: Tricked, duped * Bogus: Dangerously melvinized * Scorched: Stared at * Reaped: Killed * Unreaped: Reincarnated * Most atypical: Incredible, amazing * Miscreant: Scuzz * Stupefied: Uneducated * Destupefied: Wised up * Kiss your fears: Find courage in yourself * Effluviant: Raunchy * Replicated: Double-crossed
