MY STYLIZED VOCABULARY

My friends and I use something of a stylized vocabulary.  It's kind of
hard to explain, but once you understand the origins of these words and
phrases, you will probably have a greater understanding of my mumbling,
and possibly even join in the revelrie of calling things "abrasive" and
putting the number 2 in front of letters to stand for stuff.  Pay 
attention! You might want to print this out and put it in your wallet 
as a quick conversation guide.

I. LAZY
This isn't really a word in my stylized vocabulary per se, but it's
pretty much the basis and buildingstone of every word in it.  Back in 
7th and 8th grade, my friend Justin and I were pretty damn lazy.  We 
found it really amusing to say "too lazy" when asked to do things.  An 
example:

TEACHER: Justin, open your textbook to page 31.
JUSTIN: Too lazy.

Pretty self-explanatory.  As time passed and technology advanced, we 
found it necessary to express our feelings of laziness over the 
Internet, using several techniques.  

- Hit spacebar and then enter so your sent IM is blank, implying that 
you are too lazy to type anything in response to the person's 
imperative statement.  An example:

PiNoYbOy48: hey justin, call and see what time the movie is
justincoun:

- Another, more proactive approach towards online laziness is to 
actually type several characters in response to the person's request.
This time, you put "2l", the 2 representing the word "too", and the 
lowercase l obviously representing the key word "lazy".

PiNoYbOy48: hey justin, call an see what time the movie is
justincoun: 2l

"2l" can also be used in actual conversation.  It saves time and energy
and is also pretty funny.

II. ABRASIVE
The usage of abrasive originated from a stalwart of popular American
entertainment, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air".  In one episode, Will
convinces his friend to fake being rude and uncouth to a fly homegirl
so he can come up, defend the homegirl, and possibly impress her enough
to get a date with her (see "da chivalry joint").  So Will's friend 
proceeds and starts acting rude towards the young lady, using caustic
pickup lines like "Hey girl i got four words for you: Ho-li-day Inn!"
Will comes up to the homegirl-in-distress and says possibly the 
funniest line in situation comedy history...

"Excuse me, is this abrasive negro bothering you?"

The bluntness, delivery, and overall originality of the line is what
gives the word abrasive such staying power.  It can be used to describe
a nice play in basketball ("wow, that was pretty abrasive"), a funny
comment told by a friend ("wow, that was pretty abrasive") or a person
who acts in a similar way to Will's friend on that episode of "The 
Fresh Prince" ("he said that? wow, that was pretty abrasive"). 
Although some might misinterpret the latter usage as racist or  
discriminatory, it is simply a reference to a TV show and it perfectly 
fine because everyone knows TV is always accurate and right about 
everything.

III. YEAY YEAY!!!
Anyone who has listened to veteran West Coast rap artist Ice Cube is 
familiar with his loud and concise trademark exclamation of "YEAY YEAY!"
It has become the token exclamation of myself and my friends and is a 
fun and effective way to relieve stress.  It's also a good way to get a
waiter's attention in a busy restaurant.  Much like lazy, YEAY YEAY had
to be tailored to keep up with today's high-tech communications game. 
Instead of typing out YEAY YEAY as an entire phrase, it was decided
to abbreviate using the same system used in lazy.  Thus, YEAY YEAY
became "2y!"

justincoun: i found a cupcake in my fridge behind the relish
PiNoYbOy48: 2y!!

YEAY YEAY is used to share in a friend's excitement or to show 
appreciation for a friend's accomplishments.  The exclamation can also
be used to alert a person that you are present in a room.  Say, for 
example, your friend is in his or her respective basement and you are
about to descend the stairs to join them.  To warn your friend that you
are arriving (possibly so he or she can get fully clothed or cease
doing a certain activity), simply yell "YEAY YEAY!" down the stairs
in a loud, booming tone.  Staircases usually have good acoustics, so 
the sound will be able to travel down the stairs and fill the room. 


I hope this simple guide of my stylized vocabulary will give you a 
greater understanding of where it came from and how it has evolved to
adapt to changes in technology and lifestyle.  There are numerous
intricacies and addendums to these words, as well as many other 
completely undiscussed words.  They will be addressed in a later update
to the vocab guide.  Thanks for reading!
