A's

1) Plural form of the best grade possible. A+'s seem to be almost nonexistent nowadays.

2) Nickname of the American League West's Oakland Athletics.

1) Herman got two A's in two days, thanks to his hour-a-night study program.

2) In 1914, the Braves beat the A's in the World Series. That won't likely happen soon, as the A's can't seem to escape the first round of the playoffs. See choke.

Fo Shizzle ma Nizzle

1) A phrase of agreement. Used when responding to a statement.

2) Another way of saying, "Of course." Used when responding to a yes/no question.

Both are heard in mostly urban areas, especially ghettos. Either that, or heard in an SUV driven by some white, suburban kid listening to rap.

1) Rodney: That was a great party last night!
Samuel: Fo shizzle ma nizzle!

2) Herman: Was that party last night great, or what?
Helga: Fo shizzle ma nizzle.

By the way, it appears many of the people who defined this word don't like black people. You might say that Rodney Basil doesn't like suburban, white people, but that's not so. I am a suburban, white person.
