**I was just thinking of this very topic:
H in the Izzo
P in the Izzay!
I second the motion:
HUH?!?!? **
The lyrics, if it’s the Jay-Z song are:
H to the izzO
V to the IzzAY
The song is called H.O.V.A.
Not that that clears things up.

My favorite is the Yahoo! page:
do yo’ ass yahoo?
Pimpin’ yo’ useless shiznit (um, that would be Yahoo! Shopping)
I have a hard enough time with the seven words I can’t say on TV, let alone deciphering yo shiznit, brutha.
Hahahahaaha PetW !
Of course, I know what the word pizzle really means, so I think you may be insulting me, you schmuck.
It’s not cool when you try and learn the words. You just have to listen to them in the lyrics. Anyway, why would you guys wanna even talk like that. If you don’t listen to the music why bother?
Just for kicks, i put in the CNN’s transcript of Bush’s speech last week. Here are some highlights:
**The following is an unedited transcript of President Big Baby Bush’s historic speech from da flight deck of da USS Lincoln, during which tha dude declared an end major combat in Iraq:
Thank yo’ ass." Thank yo’ ass izzall hella much." …

Our nation ‘n izzle coalition are proud of this accomplishment, yet that shiznit is yo’ ass, da members of da United States military, who achieved that shiznit."

And wherever yo’ ass go, yo’ ass carry a message of hope, a message that is ancient ‘n ever new, know what I’m sayin’? In da words of da prophet Isaiah, "To da captives, come out; ‘n those in darkness, be free n’ shit. "
Thank yo’ ass fo’ serving izzle country ‘n izzle cause, know what I’m sayin’?
May Dogg bless yo’ ass izzall." And may Dogg continue bless America.**
I’ve always heard it referred to as “carny speak” as in language used by carnies, or carnival workers.
Basically, you just take the first letter of the word, add “izz”, and then complete the rest of the word.
For example: “Dope” = “Dizz-ope”
However, there are some exceptions when simply adding “izz” to the first letter would sound too awkward (go figure), so the first two or three letters are used.
For example: “Sizz-traight” doesn’t sound right, so you would say “Strizz-aight” instead.
If the first letter happens to be a vowel, you simply say “izz” before the word.
ex: “Ass” = “Izz-Ass”
I’ve never really understood where the ‘n’ comes from in “shizz-nit”…should be “shizz-it” if you ask me.

I thought it was “izz-speak” for H.O.P.E.
What the hell is H.O.V.A.?

It’s short for “Jehovah”. From here , for example
Jay-Z makes earlier rap megalomaniacs pale in comparison as he identifies with Jehovah (nicknaming himself J-Hova, H.O.V.A. and, on this album’s hits, Hovito and H-to-the-izzoh V-to-the-izzay).
