Re-hyphening

1) The act of mentally shifting a hyphen in a sentence or comment which contains the pattern {adjective-ass noun} Used for personal amusement only. From the webcomic xkcd (www.xkcd.com/37)

2) Verbally expressing this mental re-hyphening to show discontent or apathy toward a person's vocabulary, word choice, comment, or the person in general.

Take note: Not all hyphens can be shifted for this effect - i.e. phrases like No-Talent Ass Clown or Punk-Ass Bitch - because the hyphens either don't make sense anywhere else, or they're just funnier where they are.

Person One: Man, that's one ghetto-ass car!
Person Two: (Thinks: "Man, that's one ghetto ass-car!") Hehehe.

2)
Person One: I had a nasty-ass cold last week.
Person Two: An ass-cold? Is that some new STD?

Person One: Goddamn, I'm one bad-ass fucker!
Person Two: Yes, I bet you're a horrible ass-fucker, and I'm sure your boyfriend would agree.
Person One: Quit re-hyphening me, you ass bastard!

hyphen-American

the suffix applied to terms for non-white ethnic groups (i.e. African-American) to indicate that American it's describing is different from other Americans-- because as everyone knows, "American" is an ethnicity. And if one is not WASP, he isn't deserving of the singular appellation, and must have a stupid prefix slapped onto it before it's considered "accurate".

origin: the United States' incompetency when addressing its diversity.
Mr. Smith is a citizen of the US and is of German descent. Therefore he is American.

Mrs. Johnson is a citizen of the US and is of English descent. Therefore she is American.

Mr. Obama is a citizen of the US and is of partial African descent. Therefore he is-- wait, what was that? That one would actually be African-hyphen-American.

hyphed

Being Incredibly amped and outta control
to the point where your not aggro enough
to split any wigs, but you might want to: give a chain
link fence a good shakin', compliment a friend on his
beautiful beezie, or just start crumpin' till you either
exhaust yourself or break something
I rock the mike like a dyke flicks her silver tongue
Punishing these whack MC's while MaryJane seeps out my lungs.
Slowly rolling rollie poly, nuckin' cuz' I'm "HYPHED" off Stoli',
Step into my cipher and Ill make you all holy.
