Monday's "Boondocks" introduces the latest pseudo-slang: "sudsy".

I think "sudsy" has a much better chance of catching on than the ersatz
slang of "For Better Or For Worse" ("foob", "roadside", "gig", etc.)
Looks like McGruder's got a whole week of slang humor in store for us.
Should be entertaining.
