| Most of this sounds like its in the accent as opposed to slang. |

| Assalamoalykum, Ok I know i am not that good with slang, I hardly use any. I think most the slang is quite stupid.But I do know enough to know that that is not how you spell a "buy you." That is not slang. And there are a lot of these in houston. Its a slow moving body of dirty water. Oops. sorry, Arsalan, didn't mean to call you an egg. I thought the word was meant for people who attend A&M. you know aggies or aggs. Really, this is no slang. this is some really bad english country accent. Wassalam, Saleema |
