Just for kicks, and for Hump Day HaHas, and for giggles and shits, here are the first 2 paragraphs of my last post as translated by Gizoogle.
Pizzost # 1378
Two thugz contacted me yesterday ta nudge me ta pizzy (one was very gentle, tha crazy ass nigga was kind of a brizzay `bout it), so okay, I’ll just sit on tha blog here n see whiznat nigga falls F-R-to-tha-izzom mah finga.
Speak’n of fall’n wanna be gangsta I did a 45 minute H-I-Double-Lizzy run yesterday at lunch fo` mah workout. I Hadn’t run in a long time, n it surprised me thizzat I was hustla out of breath, n mah brain neva bitched ta me `bout how awful tha run was n tried ta bargain wit me fo` cutt’n tha run short with the S-N-double-O-P. My only limit was tizzle ta help you tap dat ass. Howeva, tha fizzirst half-mile ta mizzy of tha 4-mile run was painful on mah stomach n abdomen, coz all tha thick steppin’ around made mah skin ache cuz its a G thang. I wished fo` a fitted bodysuit. I wished fo` a jog bra fo` mah entire body fo yo bitch ass. (There, That’s some TMI fo` everyone who wants ta tell me I’m not fiznat.) How do those seriously obese thugz on “The Biggest Loser†do it? I enjoy tizzle show, BTW. I find tha participants’ weekly 15-lb weight loss mackin’ in tha same impossible wistful way thizzat I aspire ta live like Shot Calla Teresa . Throw yo guns in the motherfuckin air.
Crap, I’m revealing too much emotion to my jurors. Straight face, Cindy. Straight face. mmrrrrpphh
*shaking*
Its stupid shit like this which makes me angry, being of black descent, it pisses me off when people take pride in vernacular like this, then complain why whitey has all the jobs and money. Arrrgh
Eh, no one expects YOU to speak like that, especially not on a job interview. But this is kind of Snoop Dogg’s personalized English colloquilism, it’s published online (Gizoogle is), and it’s as harmless as pig Latin and double-talk. No need to give words such power.
I thought it was freaking hilarious…
Nobody expects me to speak like that, but unfortunately so many of the youths today, and I mean of all races, would rather talk like that, than learn proper English. When Snoop Dogg first started all that for shizzle talk, we had a white dj call everybody my nizzle, I don’t know if he knew what nizzle meant, but either way he was able to get away with using a term which is extremely offensive to black people. And no I don’t condone them using it on each other either.
Now dats keepin it gangsta! That’s right, I said “DAT”!!!
(tangent)
…if OJ gets off again he should get a record deal. He’s WAY mo’ gangsta than 50!
Also…
I wonder what would happen if I typed “fo shizzle my nizzle” in Gizoogle.com. Would it give me some creative new spin, or would my computer just explode? You wanna test that out for us Cindy? If you don’t respond tomorrow I’ll assume it was the latter. 🙂
Flat Coke – me too! Especially the random insertions of things like “S-N double-O P” and “ta help you tap dat ass”. HAHAHA!
TBG – I find that hilarious. (your DJ story) What a dork! (the DJ)
I get your point — you think black people can help themselves and be taken more seriously if they stop talking jive, but my point is, something like this is for FUN, and the language has become a part of the jigsaw Americana culture, as much as you may hate it personally. I also think you’re harsh, you can’t expect the “brothas” who grew up here in Compton and East LA to have your British upbringing.
Dwaine – BAHAHAHAHA!!! Leave it to you to think of doubling up the slang to test the system! And I’ve never seen you write so much slang in one breath before. You da shiznit! Or, as TBG would say if he’d bring himself to use slang again, You da HNIC!
You truly are a master of the English language…both formal and slizang. That’s why you’re the HKIC!
PS…I’m glad your computer didn’t go boom.
FYI:
“fo shizzle my nizzle” translates to…
“fo shizzle mah nizzle”
I know I get a little too serious sometime when it comes to racism, it is the one thing which pushes my buttons, also being an inner city teacher it really is hard to try to get kids to understand the importance of being able to speak “white” see i can joke too. P.S I have a Bajan upbringing, google that one sports fans.
Dwaine – What’s the K in “HKIC?” It better not be Korean or I’ll have to kick your ass. How many DECADES have we been friends?!
And you gizoogled “fo shizzle my nizzle”!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!
TBG – This from the guy who uses blanket statements like “All adopted Koreans are crazy.” I don’t think playing with a Snoop Dogg twist on the English language qualifies as racism, and I don’t feel that I am promoting or condoning racism, either. I think a lot of times people who are pointing and accusing people of being racists or saying/doing racist things are actually twisting something innocuous INTO racism, because labeling something as such gives them a certain kind of PC advantage, even if unfounded.
DOH! I was thinking HCIC, but at the last minute the voices in my head convinced me to type HKIC. If I’m guilty of anything, it’s of not seeing you as Korean or Chinese, but rather my lovely friend Cindy who taught me how to make me lasagna. 🙂 I throw myself on the mercy of the court!
…keep in mind that your forgot my birthday on Tuesday, but who’s keeping score? 😛
CRAP!!! Would it mitigate things that I haven’t had my cell phone for a few days so I don’t have your #, and that last year, I organized your bday invitees for you? =P I did remember it was your bday early on and then promptly forgot again.
I didn’t wanna pull the birthday card on ya, but you backed me into a corner and left me no choice! Let’s just call it even…izzle? 😛
Izzle, dogg.
*handing TBG a cold compress*
I am not accusing you of racism, I hope I know you better than that. And maybe racism is not the term to use, perhaps ignorance is a better description, but that does not change the fact that a lot people expect black people to talk like that, which in effect trickles down to other black people who expect other black people to use that vernacular. How many times has it been said when people describe an brother who does not speak slang “Oh s/he is so well spoken”, no s/he
is not so well spoken they just aren’t speaking in the slang which most people expect from african americans.
I will admit that I have said most adopted Koreans are crazy, and I was wrong for using such a blanket statement, but I speak from my personal experience, where every single one I have met, has some type of issue, K included, haha.
I was curious what HKIC meant, I knew you were not Korean, so I figured it must be something else, maybe Dwayne should have said HAIC.
Oh and one other thing “contrary to popular opinion, I’m the HNIC” – Dr. Frank Napier
Well I thought it was hilarious too.
And it IS funny… I’m going to have to translate a post in gizoogle.
Some people should know the context of this was to be funny… and it worked.
How about HOIC…”Head Oriental in Charge”!
I’m not racist! …just old skull. 🙂
DOH! I meant “Skul”. I hate when I misspell my Ebonics…izzle.
In the interest of keepin it real I think I’ll change the signiture on my work email to read:
“Thanks for your bizzle”
Think anyone will notice?
TBG – It takes a big man to admit when he may have made a mistake. And, as Dwaine once said, it takes an even bigger man to point and laugh at that man.
Jordanabanana – Yay! More Snoopified posts that I can’t read, coming right up! Mr. W said to me earlier, “Stop posting like that! You gave me a headache!”
Dwaine – Oh my gawd, you crack me up izzle! And maybe you’ll get more repeat bizzle if you change that signature. But only the people w/senses of humor would come back, others who offend easily will leave you. Oh, and you’ll keep all the foreign business who don’t know what you wrote. I’D hire you! Fo shizzle!
LOL…thanks for reminding me of that quote. Sometimes I crack myself up. :-))
…that’s why I luv ya Cindy. Mr. W is a lucky dawg ta be mackin’ tha HOIC! I LOVE GIZOOGLE!
I’m so glad I know the HOIC…
and Dwaine… DO IT!!
But actually it should read:
“Woop Woop fo yo bizzle, shnizzler”
LOL….did you Gizoogle that jordan?
I totally made that up…..
but I learned my gizoogling from Cindy!
Wow…a white girl who’s a MOTHER, nonetheless! I’m proud of you, Jordan!
Thanks for the racist Oriental shout-out, Dwaine!
nice. tôi t? hào v? b?n
