That happened to me when I was in a public restroom talking to my cousin. I called somebody "ignorant" and some woman came out of the bathroom stall and said I had to be from Jersey.

Also:
crazy, nuts, ridiculous-- something was really extraordinary, usually in a good way, but sometimes in a bad way

buppy -- used to define a black yuppie (young, urban professional) this seems to be making a comeback

hoodrat-- ghetto girl

nice (pronounced "nyce")-- tipsy, drunk enough to be happy, but still in control

sup-- abbreviated wassup

Soror, I call people ignorant. I thought that was universal. :confused: BUT, I also thought the word triflin' was universal 'til I got to college. Or maybe it's a Black thang. Dunno.

Help me out with the difference in pronunciation between nice and nyce. Cuz I'll use that on the kiddies. :cool:

The newest thing I've heard the girls use is "you're mad." And it CMTFU! If I "curry" someone, this one girl (who is NOTORIOUS for doing this) turns to said curried person and says, "oh, you're mad." Her voice kills me each time she says it. I have to laugh. I have no self-control when it comes to not laughing at the kids. Shoot, stuff be funny. :D
