Thank you Bibi. I just needed to get the year started right.

We do not have ghettos as such in Oz. I guess we are not cool in that case.

WE don't have COOL ghetto's in Canada either......I was just relating to the misuse of the word with the kids I foster and the fact that THEY think something being "ghetto" is cool.

Kids will be kids. I think 'rad' is the in word over here.

Get a bunch of guys together and how do they know who the hell is who?

Thanks for posting the list, Aqua. I hadn't seen it yet.

Funnily enough, several co-workers and I had a debate about the def'n of "metrosexual" today. I am surprised it was coined several years ago.

ROFL Skippy! Gold!

I also have to say I've never heard "ghetto" used in a positive way, however, I just consulted a co-worker who actually grew up in a ghetto and he says ghetto can be used in an ironic way. You can call your car "ghetto" in an affectionate way, the same way you can say, "Lixy is a typing maniac" and mean it in a fun way (if you catch my drift).



Dood, don't do a search for the term "dood" on Pixies. I fear I would monopolize the list.

Don't ever call me "Dude"

"Jimmy-rigged"?

What happened to Jury-rigged and Jerry-rigged?

Probably hidden by some metro-sexual.

My main hate at the moment are "bro" and "cuz".

Bro has connotations of "Brother from the 'Hood"

Cuz has connotations of "Cousin", an indigenous greeting.

its seems like "hella" and "ja" have replaced the words really and very around here. "tight" is the latest version of awesome or cool. The worst though is "my bad" ... is it that hard to just say sorry? Also i'm afraid around here "ghetto" has begun to get a positive spin .... goes w/the "gangsta" image.
