(drink/sip) haterade (1998)

[Benjamin Zimmer]

"Haterade" (also "hatorade", "hate-orade", etc.) is a blend of "hate" and
"Gatorade"... Urbandictionary supplies some nuanced definitions:

-----
haterade
a figurative drink, representing a modality of thought, in which those who
consume are themselves consumed by the negativity which with they speak
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=haterade
-----
Hatorade
a figurative drink a hater may thirst for and share. Generally used when
someone hops on the bandwagon to hate on someone or something.

This is late-'90s hiphop lingo, still popular in some circles.

Never drink haterade, Armani suits tailor made.

She still dresses in a baggy hip-hop style, but she's not strutting with a
gangster stroll, nor player hating, ego trippin' or sipping haterade.

That leaves two possibilities. One, that the jealous press is drinking
"hatorade" (Durst's term) and out of sheer spite has united to trash-talk
his band.

One thing cool about my girl is that when another country totally opens a
bottle of Haterade she's all, Nuh-uh! No you di'n't!

So if you must, raise a glass of Hatorade.

(Aside to Wilson: am I finally vindicated by "Nuh-uh! No you di'n't!"?
