Slang
Hyphy has a unique culture of slang, much of it invented by E-40, Mac Dre, and other important figures.
* "Going or getting dumb/stupid/ignorant/retarded/hyphy/yellow bus" is the main concept, which means having an incredibly good time and at the same time, looking incredibly stupid, hence the title.
* "Yadadameen/Yadadamsayin'?" is a phrase popularized by Keak Da Sneak meaning "You know what I mean?" and "You know what I'm sayin'?" The 'dada' usually signifies rolling the letter 'R', however, for effect and for people who cannot roll their 'R's, the informal 'didi' (pronounced did-I) is appropriate.
* "Ghostride the whip" means when you get out of your car while its still moving and dance next to it then get back in the car
* "Scrape/Swang" - Turning a sideshow/sydeshow.
* "Scraper" - An old school car named for the sound it makes when doing doughnuts.
* "Yokin" - To alternately press on the gas and brake so your car dips.
* "Thizz" - Street slang for Ecstasy pills, immortalized and popularized by the great Andre "Mac Dre" Hicks. Also the name of Mac Dre's record label.
* "Giggin'" - Dancing wildly and in a spasmodic fashion. Originated from describing the convulsions and shakes that a person experiences when "thizzin'" or under the influence of the drug Ecstasy.
* "Thizz Face" - Coined by Mac Dre to describe a "look on your face like you smell some piss". Originated from the face that one makes when putting an Ecstasy pill in ones mouth, due to the bitter taste. The term and facial expression have been appropriated to mean several other feelings and situations.
* "Thizzle Dance" - A dance associated with Mac Dre's song by the same name, the thizzle dance (thizz dance, thizzing, closely related to going dumb) involves basically looking dumb and normally waving your arms and often legs in a bizarre or stupid-looking way. Most people put their own spin on it, popular ones being shaking ones head (especially if you have dreadlocks), getting down to the ground in your dance, or acting like various animals.
This is merely an introduction to the slang associated with the hyphy movement
