The Dirty South got a little more buttoned-down this week with the news that Merriam-Webster’s latest dictionary will contain the word “crunk.” Of course, much work remains to be done. Here are some more terms that need to be added to the lexicon posthaste. Any more suggestions?

  • emo
  • shoegaze
  • straightedge
  • gully
  • purp
  • shizzle
  • skeet skeet
  • ish
  • get your eagle on

“rasta time” People who smoke weed tend to be late to appointments and meetings,etc.

Usage: “Fuck man, Ed’s late again.” “No he’s not, we’re on Eastern Time, he’s on rasta time.”
