Sub-species of wigger, a white kid from a middle-class suburban family who acts like he hails from the
Hood. A Funky Phantom is usually too busy recovering from rollin' with his homies (hence the "funky") to bother coming into
work, thus causing problems even though he's usually invisible (hence the "phantom"). Is out of
work two days a week and takes half-days the other three. Is all "Yo, keepin' it real" and thinks he's the ultimate babe magnet; whenever he talks to a woman his voice drops to a deep whisper and he practically climbs on them in his efforts to seduce them. Claims he likes
people who are brutally honest but basically lives one gigantic lie, fo' shizzle.
A
DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FUNKY PHANTOM
Funky: Yo, Allison, how's 'bout you and I
go 'cross the street to the store and you can shizzle my dizzle
bizzle?
Allison: Um, sure, sounds like fun, whatever it means!
Funky: Ya ya, I'
m gonna be "keepin' it real" with my ho here for a while, G. You holds down the fort while I do my thang.
Me: Cut the crap, "homey." You ain't a playa, and the only crime you ever committed was stealing an
extra Oreo outta the cookie jar when you were ten. AND you've already taken ten "breaks" today.
Funky: Yo, G! Why you gotta be hatin',
Dawg? {dropping the act} Uh, my stomach hurts...I gotta go home...see ya tomorrow...
