"This read like an Onion article."

"The great irony is people who use this term would never open a dictonary."

"I, for one, will not rest until the terms 'gangsta lean', 'pimp-juice',

and this pair:

"I'm already so tired of everything hip-hop I could puke."

"I think the word you're looking for is 'vomizzle'"
