Actually, the phrase was recently made popular by Diddy (aka Sean Combs) on Making the Band 4. Why don't you pop over to MTV.com, see if you can catch a streaming episode and watch in wonder as his stupid ramblings turned into an overnight sensation!

Seriously Daemon, I didn't make it up. I would post the link, but I don't think that would be a good idea.

DSTCHAOS, I wasn't making fun of the slang that was being used, I was laughing at the translator. I wasn't trying to offend anyone and I totally apologize if I did.

No harm no foul.

But once again, Ebonics isn't "slang" and you should find another way to joke about a GC translator than to call the crappy translated sentences Ebonics.

Earponics?

How do you get Dunkin Donuts coffee out from between the letter keys on your keyboard? I just spit out a mouthful and laughed so hard, I wheezed. People from the offices next to me came running to see if I was okay.

Now, Dunkin Donuts is a regional thing, at least up until the past few years. I heard from my inlaws that Arkansas now has them. Only, they actually go there for the donuts, not the coffee or bagels, which cancels out the true Dunk's experience.

It's funny because now that Krispy Kreme is up here in the north, people are so excited because they love the donuts. Because, you know, no one really gets donuts at Dunk's.

I personally love the munchkins. Only chocolate though. Mostly because they have no calories, being donut holes and all.

Krispy Kreme for the donuts and Dunkin for the coffee.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

And unless you have the KK with the big glass window where you can see the donuts coming from the ovens, you have NADA!

I'm a KK glazed donut enthusiast but I only eat them once a twice a year because they are empty calories and lack nutrition. They tried to fool healthy folk like myself by getting the whole wheat versions but I knew it was just marketing.

They power walk to municipal building to enjoy a tasty wheat bagel with cream cheese.

FYI, did you know each shot of cream has 12 grams of fat?

o.k. I was wrong, and I went back to edit the original post.
