traditionally, in the hip hop cultural world, the word "up" succeeds the word "word". this combonation, of what seems like two
unrelated words, actually is a form of
acknowledgement, or apporoval. Some synonyms inculde, "I concur." and "Yes, i agree
with that"
"Gee George, your lawn looks
very nice today"
"Word up"
"Oh wow, Mary, you really knew what you were doing when you
decorated the great hall"
"Word up"
