These days, terms like "It's all good" and "Off the hook" are as popular at sporting events as hip-hop shows. Yes, the Yay Area is sick and tired of having its slang bitten, after years of local MCs watching helplessly as their regional expressions were co-opted by out-of-town rappers, talk-show hosts, celebrities, and even politicians: Who can ever forget the Reverend Jesse Jackson saying "Fa shizzle ma nizzle" at an awards show a few years back? When Oakland rap group 3X Krazy was spitting out phrases like "Fa sheezy weezy in the keezy" (translation: "For certain, we feel at home") back in the mid-'90s, no one could've possibly predicted that nearly a decade later, Fran Drescher (TV's The Nanny) would one day say "Fa shizzle" in an Old Navy commercial. The cultural significance of slang has only grown with the advent of the hip-hop era - terms once far outside the mainstream's cultural nexus have become familiar, even ubiquitous. To this end, Bay Area hip-hop deserves a hell of a lot more credit. But that informality often clouds the issue of who first rolled the doobie in question. pass new slang terms around like joints - quietly, coyly, and informally. have pilfered Bay Area hip-hop slang for years. All their less GRRRRRRRRR albums just sound tepid by comparison. this will knock your ass out (in time, mind you).īah! Nothing Slayer did is better than Reign in Blood (arguably NOTHING anyone has EVER done has ever bettered it-it's just SOOOOOOOO mean and aggressive sounding). OR if you are feeling more adventurous: 3/4 sparks to 1/4 cactus cooler. I think that the best wine cooler can be made by you, right in your home! take one two shots of dessert wine (try the bonnie doon vin de glacier) and then add a splash of chambord and fill the remainder of your RED wine glass with icecold sprite or seven up. needless to say, he navigated those twisted streets from off the train station, peaking around corners, sniffing into the air, and scratching his head before eventually pushing aside the drapery of the exact one from his jr.

When I was in Japan last year visiting my best friend, he hunted down the exact takoyaki-ya in Osaka that he had visited some 15 years earlier in his school trip to the ancient capital. but i'm going to have to stick with "takoyaki", fried and breaded balls of octopus.
