Vernacular

Many people have asked me where I come up with the different sayings, lingo, etc that I use on a daily basis. Well I am about to give you the history of B Lee's vernacular...


It all began a couple years ago. I was innocently enough listening to one of my favorite rapper's, snoop doggy dogg, and I came across a great line from one of his songs. It was as follows: "fo shizzle nizzle, its the big neptizzle"


I thought it was really neat how snoop put "izzle" on certain lyrics he used in his songs. This was something that really interested me. I started thinking about different ways to use this. I began just putting every letter of the alphabet in front of "izzle" and seeing what came of it. Words like bizzle, hizzle, dizzle, trizzle all sounded pretty cool to me. Over time I tried to think of words that went in conjunction. This is where the infamous "hizzle, hazzle, trizzle, trazzle" surfaced. Another idea that came to me was to add "ster" to various words. For example if one wanted to take a nap you would say the individual was partaking in a napster. Over time words were created by myself and friends that gave us a way to bond and having a fun way of communicating. I am now going to share some words from our current vocabulary. Enjoy!


1) yes sir dawg (ysd)-a way of responding in the affirmative to a friend.



2) hizzle hazzle trizzle trazzle (hiz haz triz traz)-can be used in a variety of ways. mostly used at the end of a statement or to illicit a response from a friend.



3)mister maybach-was coined when Gilbert Arenas decided to buy his father a maybach. the word is used when talking to someone who is looking to be on a path to wealth and riches.



4) wise-coined by the associate David. named for a character from the LeBrons. currently the name for the associate David.
