I have to disagree, that extended Yo that sounds more like Yerrrrruuurp! is orginally from Brooklyn...It's a warning call for when the Poe-poe (Police) are coming.

We also say 5-0 and 'dem boyz for Police Officers

Whilin' pronounced Wh-al-lin another term for crazyt or buggin
Quest: "Can you drive me across town"
Reply: "Oh, nah you whilin' "

Son ~ another word for friend , used for males and females can also be used disrespectfully, as in "you just got son'd" as in you got played

Gully ~ another term for someone that don't take no mess
" Yo, your peoples is Gully, she don't let no one skate"

speaking of which skate is commonly used outside in my neighborhood for folks that just try to slide by or get away with murder **how ironic**

Loose ~ crazy, funny, acts a fool

Bird ~ ghetto chick

G-unit ~ homosexual (this was actually conceived as a way of talking about one who is without being disrespectful..so not to put that persons business in the street...say if your on a crowded train)
