I could write a thesis on how amusing I think a lot of the hip hop generated American slang is, and I almost started it.
Instead, I'll just relate one of my personal favorites that a friend of mine spouted once.
We were standing outside, waiting for a bus. My buddy saw a gentleman dressed in a particular manner and noted the following:
"Fools be sleeping on Frankensteins' style"
Of course, I had no inkling what this meant, and it made me chuckle. He then pointed the person in question out, who was wearing black boots, corduroy pants and a turtleneck. Then he explained:
"What I'm saying is, the guy is dressing like Frankenstein, but if you asked him he'd deny that was where the inspiration came from. Hence, he's sleeping on his style."
Food for though, I suppose.
