Maybe I’m just ignorant, but WTF is up with this shizzle, dizzle, stuff? Is it slang that lets you curse in code? Or some gangsta wannabe stuff? What?? Translation, please?!? ---

It can be slang, or just any sort of replacement word… The rapper Snoop Dogg started the phenomena- at least began the popularity. The first real big outburst was on the MTV music or movie awards, about two years ago, where Snoop did a skit with some other actors (Ben Stiller??? I dont remember who…) and thats really all his dialogue consisted of (fo’shizzle my bizzle…). I like many others was consumed in the hilarity and immediatly started talking like that… but, i will tell you what: I am OVER IT!! It is SO old! ---

Now see, that’s what I get for not watching TV! Two years behind, whoa!! Maybe I should just stick to talking about backwards country hick stuff. 🙂 ---

And then came Snoop’s short-lived, but hilarious, MTV series, “Doggie Fizzle Tele-vizzle.” ---

Typically you take either the first letter, syllable, or couple of syllables in a word and just add izzle to the end. Obviously it’s much easier to understand if you use more syllables. Televizzle= much easier to understand than fo’ shizzle. Fo’ shizzle means for sure, BTW. Or you can just throw in izz randomly throughout words or phrases… [Jay-Z]H to the izz-O, V to the izz-A…[/Jay-Z] ---

Please don’t forget the shizzolator at [www.asksnoop.com](http://www.asksnoop.com). I can play with this thing for hours. Of course it doesn’t take much to amuse me.
