How to drive your kid crazy:

[Bunny]

Attempt to speak like Snoop Dogg. I know three words: shizzle, nizzle, and hizzou. I've been using them in various permutations for a couple of days now. My 13 yr. old is begging me to quit trying! It's a potent threat for getting her to do things, though, e.g., "If you don't do the dishes, I'll be the shizzle with my nizzle in the hizzou!" :silly:

Are there any more good words in the Snoop lexicon? I'd like to improve my vocabulary.

1. What's funny is that Snoop's probably your age.

That cracks me up...he's not a young man anymore (I don't think!), yet the young folks think he's the shizzle in the hizzou.

:)

2. I'm 46, not sure how old Snoop is.

But there are few things more ludicrous than a 46 yr. old white woman trying to talk like Snoop! :D

[tjdee]

10. Whoa, he's only 31...

He looks a LOT older.

I bet you're funny, walking around the house like Snoop!

3. dunno but

you should see my kids when i DANCE!! they run for cover!
i'll be watching this thread. annoying teenegers is one of the few real rewards for parenting.

[Bunny]

5. Dancing, singing, it's all good!

Try singing "This Land is Your Land" at the top of your lungs. They will hide under the bed to get away from it!

12. when they were babies

they cried if i sang.
love your sig, btw. i think you and i went to different schools together.

6. buy some costume jewelry and show off your "bling bling"

and when you tell them something they don't want to hear, just remind them that you're just "keepin' it real" or something.

Normally I fear the thought of my daughter becoming a teenager, but this could actually be fun.

[tjdee]

11. Just "keepin' it real"!!

BWAHHAHAHA!

What do you mean stop talking like Snoop in public?

I'm just keepin' it real!

[Fleshdancer]

13. should one throw in the word "dawg" for dramatic effect??

"keepin' it real dawg" or just "keepin' it real"? Your opinion??

[Bunny]

15. Oh, I think liberal use of "dawg" is very effective!

:D

7. Car dancing to disco music works every time!

9. Now that is funny!

I can't tell you how amused I am right now picturing this. You go for it! My boys are a little older and gone now and I love this story. I wish I had thought of that. Wish I could add some more but Snoop's vocab is way out of my area of expertise. I love this story.

Edit to add Learn some of the hand and arm motions and add that to your new vocab. If that doesn't scare them into complying nothing will.

[Fleshdancer]

14. I found an online urban dictionary you can use!

http://www.urbandictionary.com/

Shizzle is in there too.

Word of the day today is Election - A lying contest between two or more very rich and powerful people

"Turn on C-Span to watch the election results."

16. Tell em to wash the dishes or you'll

pop a couple caps in their ass

[Bunny]

17. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

OMG that is funny! :D :D

I'll save that one for when she doesn't want to get up in time to catch the school bus.

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I love singing "You Light Up My Life" and hugging my daughter in

public. Or when we cross a street, I'll say,"Hold my hand." and start swinging our arms. She'll be 15 on March 1st. Sometimes I can get her to be my baby still...when no ones around to see. ;)

[Bronco69]

19. Tell her when she talks back that she needs to

"get on out my grill (face) before I bust a cap up in here! Know what I'm sayin'? Don't be frontin' like you all that! Know what I'm sayin'?

Edit: I'm just here representin' my peeps. Know what I'm sayin'?
