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.

Get the biznatchmug. An anachronistic corruption of the phrase "word to the mother", which was a popular reference to Africa or "The Motherland" during the late 1980s Afrocentric movement. While the replacement of "the" with "your" effectively obliterated the term's Afrocentric roots, it continued to be used in the same manner, that is, to express agreement. Alternatively, the "your" could take on sinister connotations, implying that speaker was sexually intimate with the listener's mother, as in "say hi to your mom for me", or, in keeping with the whack terminology, "props to your mom, she's da bomb". Finally, the phrase might mean nothing at all, and be used to ineptly feign street cred, in the style of Vanilla Ice.

Get the word to your mothermug. 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.

Get the joementummug. 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!!!"
