fo'shizzle!

there's a profusion of sites with litte lessons on current slang,
most of it hiphop-
derived.  in a while (once i wrestle an LSA abstract to the ground),
i'll post to Language Log about the two series of slang flashcards
available from www.knockknock.com.  they're a hoot.  or a scandal,
depending on how you look at these things.
