hyphy

Hyphy, Pronounced Hi-Fee is a term originated in Oakland, California by Keak Da Sneak in 1999. Mac Dre was release from jail in 2002, and helped evolve the term into a movement. It mainly described the scene in Oakland where sideshows and turf dancing often takes place. Its orginal meaning was hyper, bold, and violently responsive! Thizz is the drug aspect of it. As it began to go national, it turned into a gimmick by E-40 and has been introduced as the cousin of Crunk as a marketing scheme, when in reality it is nothing like Crunk and it isn't a response to it. E-40 just works with Lil Jon and decided to market that idea. And no it did not start in Vallejo, Vallejo isn't a hyphy city, Oakland is. This directly reflects the Oakland culture of Sideshows, losing yourself, popping extacy, and fighting.

Town Biz! Oakland started the hyphy movement, and believe that it's nothing like Crunk. And E-40 shouldn't rep it. We have better rappers.

unnecessary hyphenating

something i do too much of whilst msn-ing and emailing. it's a bad habit in some respects - kicks bloody arse in others.

Yay-ness (unnecessary hyphen)
msn-ing (as i did earlier totally by accident)
ill-ified (yet again)

basically the art of unnecessary hyphenating is to break down perfectly fine words or to totally invent your own. You can do this by taking the 'ing' off a word and adding a hyphen in the middle OR adding suffixs to the end of normal words. like yay for example. this can then become yay-ness (for more yay!) you can mix and match many words and suffixs - my three favorites are:

-ified
-ness
-ing

Have fun =)

hyphenite

A racist who is easily identified by the presence of "Some other arbitrary nationality or heritage (hyphen) American". Hyphenites also tend to be the most hypocritical of racists in that they are the most likely to claim being victim of the very racism they promote with their hyphenite heritage.

David: "Jose, are you a Mexican-American?"
Jose: "Kiss my ass, I'm no fucking hyphenite, I am an American"
