Huey: Is July really "black english" month? Caesar: Well, no...but we can just make it up. Someone had to make up "black history month", right? Huey: But what's the point? Caesar: It's just an excuse to use excessive slang from different eras. You know...conversate like negroes conversate and whatnot...youknowhowwedo... Huey: A'ight. I'm down. Caesar: Cool. Holla at'cha, boy! 5000.

So in July I’m ‘posed to conversate like a reel negro? Brothahs’d kick my assinine.

I totally support this. July is already my favorite month (my birthday, wife’s birthday, anniversary of our meeting, etc), and this would make it all the more awesome.

I am, alas, constitutionally inept at slang in all its forms. I had a ninth grade English teacher point out to the whole class that I spoke perfect by-the-book grammar.
I was bright red and nearly submerged under my desk.
So, the more colloquial they get, the more Victorian I respond.

It means he’s leaving, sort of like saying ‘Later’.

So, the new ‘white-trash’ phrase for producing methamphetamine is ‘cooking ramen noodles’…
I’m serious - an ambulance driver friend of mine told me that when they respond to a scene and the people have burns and they ask them what happened, and they respond, “I dunno, we were cookin’ Ramen noodles on the stove, and it all just caught fire”, they know they have a haz-mat scene, and meth-lab burns.
