	Why do kids try to act like they're black and from the ghetto? Support Apolyton buy from Amazon

It really pisses me off. I live in a small town that is made up of hicks, but the kids think they're from the ghetto. Phrases like, "I'm trippin'", "Foo", "G", and "Yo" are very common. All of them wear really baggy clothing and chains. It is so stupid.

I was always referred to as K-Dawg by a friend in high school, but I'm pretty sure that he was just being facetious. Still, he ought to be given a sound spanking out of principle.

Why do they do anything? To piss off their parents.

	Avatar Enlargement: We've got the solution

In my acceptance speech as Senior Class Pres, I said something to the effect of the student council's increase of income will lead to "mo money, mo probems" to curry the favor of these types of kids. Ugh.

I suppose none of us here are perfectly innocent, not even one.

Apoc: GAAA I HATE THOSE STUPID HANDSHAKES!!!! Whenever someone tries to do that to me I just stare at them for a moment, firmly grab their hand, and force a gentleman's handshake out of them.

Monkspider: You are still innocent because you have to consider the context of your usage of the slang. You weren't trying to honestly talk like that, you were using it as a pop-culture reference, two very different contexts.

We forgive your (non)transgression.

It would be alright if there was only one, but there are many types and I can't tell which they are doing until they've already started. I don't want to waste energy by being on my toes during these handshakes.

If you "accidentally" crush their hand in the process, then they tend to shake your hand normally the next time around.

I'm a small guy, but I've been known to have a tight grip, so I quickly learned to grip ONLY firmly enough that the other hand COULD NOT pull away UNTIL I have completed the Gentlemans' Handshake to my statisfaction (re: the other person comes to understand, "...just shake like any normal person! ").

Our civilization, in decline...

one of my friends tried that and i said "yo, i aint into hand humping".

we all had a good laugh.

anyway, i grew up in the suburbs of long island, there were some minorities, but it's majority white. people were always saying stuff like that, myself incliuded.

I don't think there's much danger of me saying things like that. They'd probably sound odd when spoken in a Somerset accent.

They do it to rebel and be daring... in a completely safe, white middle class, merchandized manner. I.e., for the same reason that kids have been by turns beats, hippies, and conservatives.

The real kicker is when tragically-hip adults do it. I remember reading a Village Voice article some years ago in which film critic Amy Taubin -- a nice Jewish girl who was at least 40 years old at the time -- gave "mad props" to somebody. Ewwwww.

I'm sure she thought she was being self-referentially parodic. But of course, that is also a hipster affectation, which in turn is also... etc, etc...

Why?

Because they see it on TV, in adds, and hear it on radio.

Kids always latch onto something, you think they are bad, I can actually remember hippies.

It's the rich ****ers in the suburbs throwing out their silver spoons so they can be 'cool'... it's a disease they got. Ungrateful crackers...

it always cracks me up though when they come to the city and are scared as hell. My class went to a shakespeare play and there was these suburban schools there. This suburban girl asked me and a friend of mine where we lived and we said here in the city and she got scared, nervously asking if we was in a gang. Funny ****... especially considering in her little suburban world, she probably refers to herself as a 'thug mami' or some **** like that


thanks
