I have already solved some of the mysteries that have puzzled me throughout my career.
- Bama-- My findings here support that the word has its origins in Alabama, but I was shocked to find that it points to the less than hip more than the racist. I am also shocked to find it has nothing to do with those little pecan pies.
- Holla Back Girl--Sure, Gwen Stefani isn't one, but just what isn't she? Reports vary here. It could mean she is an upright young lady who won't respond to a booty call, it could mean that she is the head cheerleader and not the one who repeats the yell. I am going with this definition.
- My resolve to fight the use of the word crunk in the mainstream is validated here.
- Swoll means more than I ever thought it did.
- Bitchcakes as a term of endearment is validated. It's not just for me and Karina anymore!
- So this is what w00t means!
- I promise to return to school ahead of the curve with my acquisition of argyle pimp, failureteer, and twinkie.
Gotta make sure I spellasize before I publish!

You can keep all the others, but bitchcakes, that's a keeper.
woot.
I tend to agree, Jim. It's all in the name of understanding my students.
And with apologies if this is too familiar, welcome to the blog, bitchcakes.
I don't know the urbanese for "No offense taken."
My personal favorite is failureteer. My neighbor is a failureteer because his water and electricity are turned off because he refuses to go get a job! Yeah I can think of many uses for that word.

My sister and I found the urban dictionary last year when we heard the term "dirty sanchez" on SNL and didn't get the joke. That lead us to find a treasure trove of words we NEVER wanted to know the definitions for.
Jennifer, thanks again for answering the burning question of just what Gwen Stefani means by Holla Back Girl. I owe you several, my friend.
I can't wait to go bitchcakes in a knitting store. I can't wait to say bitchcakes in a knitting store.

finijo--
I am now a bit scarred for knowing about a "Dirty Sanchez". Ew. It's a small price to pay for the treasure trove of information that is the internet, I suppose.
K--
I leave town Friday, prior to that, I could go bitchcakes at any time, bitchcakes.
