Fucking tweens and 20 somethings need to stop applying retarded, wishful definitions to words that were around before their birth. "Dealio" was not popularized by missy elliot, as it has been used consistently 20+ years before her music career got off the ground.

What's the dealio with all the wanna be hipster jackasses that fabricate definitions on UD?!
