Hifey/Hyphee

To go crazy over something and not care what nobody thinks about you. You could be mad, happy, it don't matter. Don't make no mistake about it. This word comes from Oakland(The Town)CA,USA. This word is new to y'all but ancient to us. We been saying Hyphee since at least 1994. We don't even really say hifey no more. We say HUB!
We was in the "East" ridin' the strip with the doors open, gettin dumb hifey last night.

Re-hyphening

Share definition
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: Quit re-hyphening me, you ass bastard!
