The man from mars is shooting cars? WTF!?
I guess what you are hearing really isn’t a test.
You have got to be kidding me! “I know you like to think your shit don’t stank, but lean a little bit closer, see, roses really smell like (boo-boo)” isn’t supposed to allude to shit, and they didn’t mean it to sound like poo-poo cause they don’t even know what that is…instead it’s some obscure cultural reference to…what?
Give me a furshlugginer break! That is the silliest thing I’ve heard all day.
Oh, man… you’ve been reading the wrong threads, then.
Hey, I didn’t say the words didn’t mean the exact same thing (they do). I didn’t say that they were as ignorant of the word “poo-poo” as I was either (and I’m not that ignorant of it - I just never heard anyone use the word outside of TV. But I, and eveyone else I knew did use “boo-boo” as a child). I’m just letting you know they didn’t make up an entire new word in some corny attempt to mimic another, and the fact that you didn’t know that means you shouldn’t even be worrying about that song in the first place.
An excellent point…and I feel compelled to point out (yet) again that I have no particular problem with Outkast in general, or with that song in particular. I came into this thread more or less to say to PaulFitzroy that if he had a problem with Outkast he should check out L’il Kim. I’ve even said I like Outkast (you know…the Earth, Wind & Fire comment, etc.?), but for some reason people (like you) keep dragging me back into arguments over Outkast due to some comment or other I made on the side.
(Boy, the arguments one gets into around this place.) 
:eek:
You are correct, sir! I hereby rescind my comment. Thanks. 
Just here to add -
It’s POO POO not BOO BOO.
Seriously, just think about it.
Thanks, I think I understand better now what you’re trying to say. If I’m correct, you’re saying that “boo-boo” in black culture means the same as poo-poo (I can hardly keep a straight face as I’m typing this…jeez, the discussions that go on here. 
), and that Outkast wasn’t trying to be coy…they were just using their vernacular to, in effect, say the same thing as poo-poo. Six of one; a half-dozen of the other, in other words?
Am I right? (I hope so. I don’t think I can take much more of this discussion.)
I got a real kick of Big Boi on MTV’s Cribs. He’s really a pretty funny and good-natured guy. But he ends almost every sentence with “or whatever.” When he got to his daughter’s room, he said something along the line of “This my daugter’s daughter’s room. Her name is Kaylie or whatever.”
Disclaimer: I don’t remember his daughter’s actual name. Kaylie is most likely not it but I had call her something for the sake of the story. It’s jounalistic license, so to speak. 
Let’s not overstate our importance, shall we?
Yes, and by bringing her up, you lumped them together. Hence my post.
What can I say, dick, you just bring out the best in everybody.
If you’ll try to keep your lumpy mentality to yourself, we will both be better off. I didn’t “lump” them together (or anywhere else), it’s all in your knee-jerking mind, boyo.
You brought her up in this thread, which somehow I thought was about OutKast.
Hey, Pizzabrat…here’s you chance to futher fight ignorance, culturally speaking. What’s up with “real, down to Mars girls”? Any cultural significance to that?
…here’s your chance, etc. :smack: "
I haven’t listened to the song in awhile but I thought he was saying “Poo poo oohh.” I got out my CD last night and looked at the lyric book inside for the sake of this thread and, apparently, he is indeed saying “Boo boo.”
I think Pizzabrat is trying to say that “boo-boo” is black slang for “poo-poo,” but he’s so flustered trying to condescend to me about listening to a song that I apparently shouldn’t be listening to even though it’s played 150 times a day on every radio station I know of, that it’s hard to tell for sure. But I think that’s it.
You know, it’s replies like this that make me think it’s like a Jungle sometimes. It makes me wonder how I keep from going under.
Mostly because it amuses me to see the OP ranting about Outkast being immature for singing about poop when he regularly shits all over this board about how much he hates Muslims.
That’s all.
I did a Google search on the lyrics, and the first page of results is split 50/50 poo-poo / boo-boo.
I just think it’s a shit song.
