biznatch

A somewhat anachronistic slang term for "bitch" that is currently used mainly in the context of self-conscious irony. Can be traced to the early 1990s, when rappers, responding to the copious bleeps and silences placed on their radio and video singles, began replacing the offending words with the same sound clips played backwards or in a highly manipulated fashion. The resulting vocalizations could be very loosely approximated by inserting a "z" sound into the middle of the word, and many rappers began to simply employ this technique with their own voices. Manipulations such as "biznatch" soon entered the slang world. Eventually, rappers such as Snoop Dogg would popularize the practice of manipulating even innocent phrases in this fashion, such as "fo' shizzle" (for sure). By this point, most had forgotten the origins of this strand of slang.

- "Derek's girlfriend is a queen biznatch"
- "Fo' shizzle."

the clones

Fans of radio and TV show host Jim Rome, who coined the term to emphasize the tendency of callers to simply reiterate all of his own points. Unlike the somewhat similar phenomenon of "dittoheads", clones celebrate their status in an ironic manner, often making reference to the humorously pathetic lives they suspect such clones must live.

When running smack, the clones must remember to actually have a take and, most importantly, not to suck.

blau

An exclamation used to punctuate boastful and often humorous descriptions of outlandishly violent or dominating acts. Was first popularized in the early 1990s by the Wu Tang Clan, most notably in the intro to the song "M.E.T.H.O.D. Man", in which members of the group cooked up imaginary schemes for extreme torture sometimes followed by the word "Blau!"

"I'll f***ing lay your n*** on a dresser, just your n*** see, and just bang them s**** with a spiked f****** bat! Blau!!!"

joementum

The essential quality of a flagging political campaign, particularly when conducted by an incumbent who is overly confident of victory. This term is a reference to Joe Lieberman, whose perceived conservatism and tendency to publicly undercut the Democratic Party have led to an alienation of the Democratic base.

Polls suggest that Rick Santorum as Joementum to spare.
