I rode on the back of my homecoming float (Woohoo. Class spirit. Oh nine. Can't you feel the excitement radiating from me?) with two classmates who were decidedly more ghetto than I. It was a lot of fun! I had forgotten how much fun it could be to be around the gangsta members of society.
One thing I picked up from this experience was a whole new application for the word "thirsty". Don't think I've completely missed this, I know it's been around for several months already, I've just never heard it so frequently in such a short span of time. It can be used for pretty much anything, similar to the way the word "crucial" (shortened to "croosh" towards the end of it's life) could be used in a variety of ways (but don't even think for a second that thirsty and croosh are even close to the same). For example, thirsty can be used in ways that seem fairly reasonable: "those kids be extra thirsty for some candy". Seems pretty straightforward, right? But then you come to other situations, like when you see your former math teacher watching the parade in his dress shirt, tie, slacks, and well-shined shoes, swinging his hands back and forth nervously like he is wont to do, and Porcha cracks up as she says "Mr. Rahn is thirsty fo real tho in his tie!" and Trey affirms her statement by shaking his head and saying "He is too thirsty!" It was quite an interesting and amusing experience.

Fo' realizzle! I be chillin' with my posse and dey says to me, "Yo, homie, we be thirsty fo' some justizzle. Ain't you wanna be huntin' down some outlawsizzle?" So I says to dem, "(Expletive) yeah, brotha. We gonna ride dem (expletives) down." So I saddlizzle up my hoss, and I putizzle on my ten-gallon hat, and we all be a-ready to bring dem outlawsizzle to justizzle.
If you were to ever say that to someone face to face, they'd be torn between the desire to smack you and tell you never to try that again, die laughing, or just walk away. Or maybe a combination of the three.
hey you should teach the ghetto kids "fershiggity" lol...
I am going to write a musical. It will be called "Gangstas of the Old West." It will be really groovy.
I remember slang in high school. It never ceased to amaze me. And then I came to college and all the not ghetto people who went to nice schools didn't believe me when I performed examples of it, until I had a friend from WW confirm it.
I have remembered a thing, and I found it on the internets:

That should summarize everything.
I hate you and your ability to access YouTube!
Okay well maybe I don't hate you. And perhaps I don't hate your access to YouTube, but I lament the fact that I lack it. My computer blocks TouTube so I can't watch the video... or any of the ones on the random vidoes thread.
Youtube, or as I like to call it, "Mgaddothipstowhoumsd," is on the whole a negative force in the universe. Be at peace.
I have discovered the root of the new use for the word "thirsty", and in one of the most unlikely of places. It was first conceived by a geeky Russian on the soccer team (who sometimes tries to ignore how much of a nerd he is, but to no avail) and his friend the emo Puerto Rican from the wrestling team (who is such a sissy that he should probably be considered a woman).
