"YO....WHATS POPPIN'?"
Tsk Tsk Tsk. Its a shame how my vocabulary has lowered ever since I began working at a high school. But of course I always find the Pros as well
. Well, it has vaulted me as one of the cooler faculty members since I use these terms with the kids and it keeps me in the loop. The Cons? Well sometimes I forget to differentiate when I talk to the faculty. Ha Ha. I think I greeted my principal the other day by saying:
"Hey....What's crack-a-lackin'?"
Ha Ha. She was like: "Umm. I'm fine, thank you?"
Anyways, here are some terms I use now and what I used back in the day. [I can say that cuz I'm old.
]
* Note the word YO before every sentence.
Before: "What up Dawg?"
Now: "Yo...Sup son?"
Before: "That's Phat/Fresh!"
Now: "Yo...that's Hot/Sexy."
Before: "Whats the deally yo?"
Now: "Yo...What's really good?
Before: "Hey your wardrobe is mad tight"
Now: "Yo...your shirt is looking crispy."
Before: "He's mad diesel."
Now: "Yo...dudes mad brolic."
Before: "Mike's really pissed at you."
Now: "Yo...he's mad tight." [can be used in different context
]
Before: "You're mad wrong."
Now: "Yo...Don't get it twisted."
Before: "Queens...represent!"
Now: "Yo...Queens...holla back."
Before: "That's wack."
Now: "Yo...thats mad bunz." [don't really like this one]
Before: "Don't be jealous."
Now: "Yo...Don't hate."
Before: "Word up."
Now: "Aight."
* The only throwback seems to be the goodbyes:
Before: "I'm gonna bounce" , "I'm Audi" , "I'm Ghost." , "I'm Swayze".
Now: "Peace." [How did that happen?]
* I can go on but I feel already I am behind in my "lingo". You know I'm old when I use that word. Ha Ha. My biggest fear is how I respond to my grandkids when I am 60.
Felix III: "Hey Grandad...What's poppin?"
Me: "What's that sonny?" OR
"My ears" OR
"My knees" OR
"I'll pop you"
......
Tsk. Tsk. Tsk. Well one thing fo' sho is I will NEVER use the phrase..GHETTO FABULOUS...thats Mad Bunz....

LOL !!!! YO. You just totally cracked me up !! You should start a ghettofabulous (<=====don't hate on the lingo ! HAHA !) english-slang dictionary to hook up the other faculty members. You'll be doing a service to your school in helping further communication between the staff and the student body. I can't believe you said "What's crack-a-lackin" to your principal. I think that term is wack !! I rather say "WASSUP ?!"
I think I subconsciously turn off the slang with the elders....I already feel funny when I say "cool" to clients.
Lol. That's too funny. Yea I use certain terms with certain peeps. lol. but i don't think i would ever say "what's crack-a-lackin" lmao. =0)
bunz, brolic? where are these new terms coming from. man, i'm not even old, but yet, i'm out of the loop. how sad.
oh yeah, and i forgot, men marry women for their money too = p and they marry trophy wives, therefore tipping the scales, which = men suck.
nice to notice that ur english has been changing b/c of the HS environment. its way better talking like us than talking proper....
omg. i was there 2 yrs ago, explaining what "bling bling" was to clients and it felt weird, fo'sho...this reminds me of the colliquialism in "the double dutch bus" by the gap band (1981?) - which was re-imagined by snoop dogg...
Rebecca, Lolita, Veshawn and Dawn
Everytime you do the Double Dutch you really turn it on '
Bilzarbra, Mitzery, Milzetty, Kilsan
Titzommy, Kitzerrance, Kilzommy that's my man
Come on get on my Double Dutch Bus
(The Double Dutch Bus)
"Dizzuble Dizzutch, the Dizzuble Dizzutch!"
ok... i still use "That's wack"
and who the heck says crispy?! I think you're getting things twisted~!
oh.. and a very popular goodbye now that i so hate with everything is "One" wtf?! how is that suppose to be a goodbye?!
no luck with aim
you mad hip felix...werd
Omg, there's like "mad" in every sentence. That's "hella" east coast.
Hilarious entry. I can totally see you bumpin' that lingo wit yo boyz in the Bronx or something. I swear, if I do that in Oakland, CA...imma get my ass popped. For real...no, I'm serious.
but anyway...ur "hella" hilarious. holla atcha boy!
...DON'T POP UR GRANDKID, U HATER.
well, i'm not old... but those old terms i still use... and i say ghetto fabulous... once in a blue moon...
And about women, in NY i guess that's what happens, but i can understand where the "independent strong women" are coming from. You just want to make it in the business without having to depend on a man or to feel validated by them.
Those women are just using men... sorry to say but they give us a bad name. Those women are total opposite of the independent... also explains how they were raised as a child. Ok, that's my own theory.
But hey there are the women inbetween all of that. We don't just fall into two categories, if that was true most men would not be married.. and that would show how shallow women are. and i'm sure i'm not one of those two.. although being independent isn't bad.. just too independent is kinda freaky...
Sorry rambling on... don't know if any of that made sense... but hey w/o women guys would just have to live with guys, so don't complain too much... you know you love us!
hahahahaha ah gong... ur the cutest...
"your shirt looks mad crispy"

You work in a high school? Wht do you do?
Felix you are so funny man. Good entry my nigga.
c u soon
I just yesterday found out that "chronic" now also means reefer (or pot/dope, whatever)... just when I'd caught on to "blunts" meaning joint.
sign me,
also OLD!
funny u shd xanga abt this, when i went apple picking on mon, my 15-yr-old cousin was making fun of me cuz i accidentally said "mad cool" or something :-b. i was telling him that when i was his age (*sigh* i keep catching myself using that phrase, "when i was ur age ..."), kids used to talk like that all the time, & that now its coming back. now let's hope i don't keep talking like this (or DIS) when i have kids of my own, they're gonna be embarrassed of their mama!! haha
i feel so much more educated
lol
very cute.
Well, if you say those phrases are old.. then I guess I'm old too, cuz I haven't heard the new ones and I STILL say the old ones lol.. but then again, in college, ppl try to sound as professional and "adult-like" as possible..
