it's not such a big deal ice...hope you haven't been losing sleep over it...just ignore it or laugh at it if it bothers you that much...

I'd like to know the idiot who told the rest of his village when to use the word "boo".


Such as, "baby, i love you..you will always be my boo".


What the hell is up with that? errr...

Yeah... what in the world is a "boo" anyway?

It's SPICE Ice. Have you ever went to the restaurant and the only thing to spice up your food is white salt. Not seasoned salt, no herbs, no garlic powder, none of the other spices that make food taste good? White salt can get a bit boring when used alone. Same for the english language. Slangs have peppered the english language since the beginning of time. The Irish have their own spice, The Carribeans have theirs, Southern Americans have theirs, and so forth and so on. Who's to say which is worst or best? Just because you fail to understand the context doesn't mean it's spoken by idiots. Your references to words such as "boo" and the like is just SPICE added to the english language to give it a bit of taste.

Ya no?

I gotcha... I agree with you... I just thought of the whole jazz vocabulary earlier and decided that both are examples of a certain vernacular and are basically both as acceptable... I just like the jazz vernacular but not the other... that is just my personal taste.

Americans invented this stupid saying and since they can hardly speak english anyway it is not surprising that it doesn't make any sense.

Exactly how does one hate ON someone? Hate is not a substance that can be thrown on someone, nor is it something that someone can slip on and fall into...

Example: "Don't hate on Prince!"

What the fuck?

Example 2: "Hey, Jim... watch out, you don't want to slip... you might fall and get hate all over yourself... the dry cleaning bill will be pretty high for something like that."

While not grammatically correct, the expression nonetheless makes sense. In fact, the "on" emphasizes the mechanical or automatic nature hate can take on when someone is to persistently negative. The "on" isolates the verb from its object. It implies you tend to hate a lot of things, that you're just hating, and only the object of your hatred changes. So instead of asking "who do you hate today?", it's "What are you hating on?"



NEXT QUESTION:

Why do people leave verbs out of sentences?

Example: "You funny!" or "You crazy!"

What the fuck? How hard would it have been to put the rather useful verb "are" into that sentence?

New Example: "You are funny!" or "You're funny!"

Omitting the verb signals a post-modern approach to commenting. You are commmenting, but by omitting the verb, you leave the sincerity of the statement up to interpretation, like doing the quote sign while saying a word.




NEXT QUESTION:

Exactly what is a "bruh" or a "brah?"

I have seen this multiple times and wondered what was up... one can assume that it is some sort of colloquial variant of "brother" or something, but why not type "brother" instead?

Example: "What's up, bruh?"

There are more, but I will leave off here for now...

See, Icenine... the more connected you fell or want to feel to a person, the fewer codes you will need. Between two actual brothers, a mere cough might signal it's time to stop for coffee and donuts. When people omit codes from language, it's because they want to establish you should be familiar with them to some extent, they think you have enough in common to dispense with the odd verb or syllable.

I hope I have given a convincing answer to each question. Next I will finally answer the question you asked a long time ago (re: The meaning of life).

Hope you don't think Prince is stupid for using...U C 2 4 Y etc-- instead of their appropriate full words?

Okay, will someone explain some of these new terms, like "shorty" for a woman? What's up with that? Don't ladies find that offensive? And please explain the whole thing with throwing in "iz" into the middle of words? Like "yo, man! I saw Spider-man! The Grizeen Gizoblin was the shiznit!" Please, someone elucidate for me!

Okay... I now believe that "boo" and "bruh" and stuff like that are part of a certain vernacular.

I can "dig" stuff like calling people "cat" and stuff like that is "hip," so there is no problem with "boo" and "bruh" and things like that...

Now... how do you hate ON someone?

I DESPISE the phrase "hating on" to describe someone's negative reaction. TOTALLY DESPISE it.

But then the variant "hateration"...now that's a cool description!

IceNine said:

Short for "brother" or "brotha." Some people write like they speak, instead of dressing it up in King's English. Although I've never referred to anyone as "bruh" I do sometimes write like I speak, with slang.

Did I mention how much I DESPISE the phrase "hating on"?

God, I can't stand it.
