rents - parents


[u]Some comments: [/u]

None of this is old skool (se7en) or played out (princess) - except, maybe, "charity line" :)  

At least not in college over here.  

Laboogie, Rashid - y'all are da bomb guys.  Way to go.  

Bhaloo - nice try.  Some pointers for you son:

"I got it" is not "I'm going to take care of it."  That would be "I got him" or "I got ball."  

"Brick" is not necessarily an "air ball."  The ball may hit the corner of the backboard, or the top of it, and be called a brick.  But it would not be called an air ball.

Jannah - you disppoint me!

Se7en - I thought this was classic: [quote]back up - get outta my face[/quote] :)  

Your 'old skool' comment ... sis, you're trippin' ... just cuz you don't understand the terminology doesn't make it old skool :)

princess - et tu?   :)

Aiite.  Hope you fellas enjoyed it :)

 I personally identify w/african americans b/c thats what I grew up around and being latina and all, your basically put in the same category...minority...on another note, slang is not a african american thing, it is a language that is developed within the ghettos and/or non-ghettos (dont want to offend anyone) by the people who live there...e.g.Spanlish is spoken by Spanish & English speakers, who have mix the two languages creating a new one "Spanlish" (Rashid, help a sista out)e.g. ?oye, bro when we going to your casa?

Sr Laboogie pretty much summed up the spanglish/slang thing.  A lot of these slang words come from the inner-city and then through the popularity of hip hop they're worldwide now.  Spanglish is just taking an english word and rendering into spanish, for example "parking" becomes "parkeo" and "munching" becomes "munchear" and also mixing up words like laboogie mentioned.  "Dirty South" is a phrase that started out in Atlanta, to describe the area.

Cow-town mafia vs. Texans?  Somebody's gonna wake up next to a horse's head ;-)

*scrub
*pigeon

Rashid

[slm]

I have an unfair advantage here, I've lived in the city my whole life and been into hip hop since the mid-80's.

*skrilla- finances
*wall out- act in a deranged manner
*homes- short for "homeboy"
*foul- disagreeable, disgusting
*scrub- a broke individual, one with no skrilla, but acts like he does
*pigeon- a materialistic female, golddigger
*shawty- a regular female
*playa- one who is popular with the ladies
*hustla- one who is out on the streets surviving any way he can.

I just have to add, I know this thread is all in good fun and all, but when people talk like this 24/7 then it gives the impression that they're hoodlums or something.  Some of these terms have negative meanings and we as Muslims shouldn't use them when talking about others (scrub, pigeon, playa, bumpin n grindin, etc).  A sister mentioned how her brother talks like this all the time, remember moderation is the key.  Sorry if I offended anyone, we just have to be careful not to let it get out of hand.

Assalaamu alaikum,

Gotta concur with Rashid's sentiments and Jannah's observations that his explanations were much funnier than the slangs themselves...having been brought up in the 80's/at one pt waayy too into hip hop back in the day (astaghfirAllah), I have to admit I was on the floor for a good while.  
Another slang item I had picked up from a 3 year old is "chumpy".  I dunno why, but there are just some things you can't get rid of in your vocab!

Is there a remedial slang class? Because I would definatly be in it. All the lingo that is being posted is completely beyond me.

The thing is, when I'm speaking to brothers who speak in this manner, I always end up nodding stupidly, maybe I will print out that list and use it as a dictionary when those brothers are speaking.
