The protestation, "Fuckin' Ada" probably doesn't help your cause much.... ;-)

You are The Cat's Pajamas.

Mike, "Fuckin Ada" is a pop culture reference to the Lennon Remembers interviews by Jann Wenner of 1970-1971. As fucking Ada if you'd know. Perhaps a Hee Haw reference would joggle your memory banks.

Shows how much I know. I thought Ada was an obsolete failed US Govt. programming language.

Dang, I miss ALGOL.

Tough t' talk to them young'ns these days. Feel like Boiled Shit when I do.

You know: Bolizzle Shizzle.

I actually remember my Sainted Grandmaw - the one who taught me how to call other drivers "hunks of shit" when I was seven years old - using the expression "skiddoo." But she never used the "23" prefix. Go figure.

Well, Elisson, in the 1920's, college kids said "23 skiddoo", to which the appropriate response was "small change". I only know this because I read, of course. I really DON'T recall the 1929 Rose Bowl.

... I'd comment... but, damn.... I'm too drunk to converse... so, sorry, killer... them's thaa fackts...

..damn... oooops...soorrrry..... my bad...

Veloci Drip. I like that. Or I could call you Post Nasal.

Heh. Sorry, I missed it. I fear my brain matter attempted to develop amidst the gen-exers, who prided themselves in uh, well something or other.

I'm sticking with Big Muskie.

On the other hand, I spent a week with the "Hut Sut" song stuck in my head, so who am I to criticize.

Woah there, Hoss. Before you get all twitterpated, let's not forget that you CREATED slang tawk.

Hinky tight, anyone?

Fo shizzle.

ROFLMAO! If I ever want to know a "hip" term, I ask my sister.
She's 25 and knows all that crap. Goddamn if I don't feel old too.........

As a criminal defense lawyer, I come into contct with the latest in urban phraseology on a daily basis. Most of it goes right over my head.
One sticks out, though. A couple years ago, I was interviewing a guy and asked about a possible witness, a guy I thought might roll over and testify against my client. The description of this individual rendered by my client was long, rambling, mostly incoherent but obviously negative, ending with "He's a swordfish." This was when the movie by that name was in theaters.
"What, what's that?" I asked.
"Nothing," he responded.
"No, you called him a "swordfish". What the fuck is that?"
He changed the subject, refusing to answer, and I realized he was that type I can only call a Gangster Geek. He was trying the word out, wasn't sure of the context, and abandoned it. He wasn't sure what it meant, but thought it was something he should know, a word he should use in order to be cool. It's the only time I ever have heard it used.
We lump these drug boys together under a rubric such as "urban gangster", but of course such generalizations do not really serve. Even in the underworld, there are cool, and geek.

I used to fuck a girl from Ada. Come up to the ATL hip hop mecca and we'll show you how to roll.

That reminds me of a definition I once heard of the word "expert." It was broken down thusly: Ex: A has-been; spurt: a drip under high pressure.

Kinda makes sense sometimes, eh?

And sometimes words stick around, but the meaning shifts. In my day, "Lid" meant the same thing as "Oscar" or "Oh Zee". Now, a lid is 3/4s of an ounce of what I remember calling weed.
