Also known by their old name, Chuck Taylors, or Chucks. Scene kids are apparnalty too dumb to know this name. They were really cool shoes in the 50's to early 90s. Then Scene Kids found them. They're still cool, since the scene kids only wear the gay colored ones.

A brand of shoes that have been around for as long as anyone could remember. Recently they have become a trend for those who wish to promote fashion or those who consider themselves "rebellious." Little do these losers know, Converse shoes are owned by NIKE and made in sweatshops. Nothing says rebellion like child labor.

While conversate is technically an accepted synonym for converse, the verb tends to be favored by members of the population with IQ's that are generally well below average. This typically includes gangsta rappers, graffiti artists, and short, bald-headed asian men who work in the finance field, but believe themselves to be "thuggish".

Conversate = for many having a conversation. However the correct term according to the so called grammatically correct is to "converse."
Someone wrote an unecessary and rude explanation stereotyping inner city individuals for use of the word conversate.
In their defense I would like to note the following:
Personally I'm caucasian and not from the inner city. I went to Princeton. Many of my colleagues, ( also not from the inner city) used the word conversate. However converse is the proper phrase which actually reminds me of the sneakers converse.
Conversate should be added to regular to end all bias. It's easy to determinewhere the word is derived from and what is mean when a person uses the term. At the end of the day a word is just a word because someone made it to mean one thing based on interpretation. New words are formed everyday which should have no reference to slang unless they have no real structure of evident meaning. Spread peace. :-)

To pass time between lectures my friends and I would conversate about politics.
But to appease the minds of sensitive scholars....
