Sigh. "Bling Bling" is now an official word.

Y’all ba straight trippin’ fo shiznit. Yo dogg, can’t ya let a G get learned on da langizzle?

Between this and the Pit thread about phat rims I’m getting to be the gansta thug I’ve always aspired to be. I love it. Can I change my name to Frankizzle G? [/humorous comments]

:rolleyes: Speaking of lame things…yeah, buddy. Now that IS serious. Best watch out.

How did that take you, beagledave?

Gar, that should be how LONG did that take you.

welby, it is indeed a sad, sad day and I mourn with you. bling-bling

I hope to God that there’s a “web page translator” taht did the work for him. If not, day-um, that’s some mad skillz he has dayer.

Crap, this stuff’s contagious! Get it offa me!

Who actually gives a…? It’s just a damn word that’s gotten popular over some time.

Word.

Why are people sighing at bling bling being in the dictionary? So what? It’s a slang term just like anything else. So stupid words like “stoked” and “rad” are in there and that’s okay, but heaven forbid slang popularized by rap music get in there. Oh horror of horrors!

I doubt if I ever use the term, but I’m down with other people using it.

Dammit, MeanOldLady, you beat me to it!!!

I, for one, am stoked that such a rad term like bling bling is finally in the dictionary. I mean, totally stoked, dude.

Fo Shiggady. I’m 'bout to bounce, yall holla at a playa later. Peace. Oh yeah, Frank #2, you can change yo name to Frankie G. That’s more fitting. Aight?

Why not? Language evolves.

I like it. It’s very onomatopoeic.

How can you hear a word for the first time have THAT big a problem with it? :stuck_out_tongue:

Well, at one time the word “awful” was considered slang.

What, Guin? It doesn’t mean “full of awe” anymore? :eek:

Dat word is the shiznitch my home skillet. It’s fly stupid.

“There are two words you should never use: one is ‘swell’ and the other is ‘lousy!’”
“Well, which one is swell and which one is lousy?”

“Bling bling” has infiltrated Australia too. I heard people on the radio yesterday evening using it.* Personally, I think it’s a great word.

(For the Australians: they were referring to the Rene Rivkin case, saying it was no big surprise he was found guilty of insider trading – no high-profile stockbroker wearing that much “bling bling” (gold worry beads for one) could have been honest. I laughed.)
