Do you ever use hip-hop language in order to achieve comedic effect?

I actually say true dat..hahaha

No. I wouldn't know it to use it.

Oh HELL yeah.

No, I don't even know it.

I roll like that, dawg.

I guess you could say that I always speak 'hip-hop'. Many of you might find a vocal conversation with me appalling. I don't speak anything like the manner in which I type, SUCKA'.

> Oh HELL yeah.

I know EXACTLY how you said this too!

I don't know what hip-hop language is.

booyakasha

No. It's not something I do very well.

Sometimes it flows into my natural speech because I work in a mall and we a diverse demographic of customers and I speak differently to an older lady than I do to kids and whatnot. An old lady won't understand some slang that is currently used. It depends on the peeps I'm speaking to.

I would sound completely idiotic. In fact, when I suggested that something might cause someone in my family to bust a cap, the effect was so ludicrous I was laughed out of the kitchen.

for rizzle ya`ll i layz it out to all my peeps aight, latta i gotz ta make movez

No, and I wouldn't know how.

Selekta.

Fo' shizzle.

No. Totally ignorant of this. I do not even know fer shure what hip-hop language IS, but I sure as hell am turned off by those stoopid way-too-big trousers that young guys tend to wear. It looks like they're having trouble walking because their pants are falling off. Yuck. So UN-sexy.

Fo'shizzle ma nizzle up da rizzle wit ma dizzle.. yaaaaaa man

Is that the same as ebonics?

No.

No, I think that hip-hop bullcrap isn't hip at all. Just goes to show how far someone will go to try to make themselves look cool, but they are only making themselves look stupid.

I hear you there, G. BTW, they DO have trouble walking. Makes them look like deformed midgets, with their crotch hanging between their knees.

Similar... and either way, it's an ignorant way of trying to make themselves stand out or feel cool.

But why do they think they look COOL like that? What happened to physically fit and slim-looking young guys? I assume most of them will eventually grow out of it. I actually saw one guy's pants drop as he was walking. He went between a couple of cars and hiked them back up again. That kind of pants-slippage actually happened to me recently -- but I was with a gardening group on an isolated mountain trail, not in the middle of a city street. The group leaders provided those heavy yellow coveralls for volunteers to work on the muddy trails and we tied the straps around our waists. Mine and someone else's came loose and the pants fell lower and lower until we were trying to walk with them down below our knees. (Fortunately we were wearing jeans beneath them). But now I know how it feels to walk like that -- so how can they stand the FEEL of walking this way in public, on PURPOSE? It hampers movement and feels uncomfortable. Of course I know very well it is absolutely required that each generation MUST pick the most outrageous styles, etc. they can in order to try their best to shock everyone else and get their attention...

I guess 'no' is in order since I am unfamiliar with the rest of the choices.

When I lost a ton of weight due to an illness, my pants were hanging on me like that. It was comfortable in the waist, it reminded me of the hip huggers from the seventies. But the crotch at the knees was NOT comfortable. It made me feel low class.

It's not shocking to me, just annoying... and disgusting, when they are showing their hairy cracks.

I like hiphuggers and wide bells but pants aren't meant to go below your hips!

Well yeah, cracks are a great turnoff when seen like that. Yuck.

Absolutely!

> Well yeah, cracks are a great turnoff when seen
> like that. Yuck.

Galomorro cerainly meant that for you...

I'm sure!!

I don't know any hip-hop language.

Rarely-izzle.

I don't know any.

But only for comic affect. Im not a "G Unit" or whatever the phrase my canadian girlfriend uses... Sheesh canadians eh.

Well, I don't know if its hip-hop but my dog LOVES to wear necklaces & stuff & we call it her 'bling'

Yes, but never true-dat. I sometimes will say homeslice or homeskillet. But when someone says true-dat its just sad. Like laughing at a retarded person...

I find it offensive

Sometimes.

Also, when I'm around my oldest niece and her friends I've noticed I pick up their little phrases. It drives me crazy. I'm sure to others around me, I look like one of those adults that's trying way to hard to be cool.

No. I prefer to retain my dignity and a semblance of literacy.
