Overused Hip-Hop Slang Word of The Year: "Swagger"

Now that ad agencies are co-opting the word "swagger"...

I think it's safe to proclaim it as 2006's Overused Slang Word of The Year.

Swagger joins previous winners "bling bling" and "pimp my..." in the hip-hop lexicon graveyard.

I'd like to nominate the use of X in reference to collaboration, ie. brand x brand as the Overused Symbol to Justify an Overpriced Item of 2006.

Get familiar with lowercase y in 2007.

Here's the deal.

I'm tired of black people's failure to raise their status in american society being blamed on racism.

No one except bill cosby realizes the true cause of blacks' failure to climb the social ladder, popular black american culture.

I am a black man and I started a blog today to discuss this issue

Uh......... yeah, that's what you call a huge tyrade that isn't at all correct. You bring up some good points, but in general you fail to provide a solution. You say the world will end end, so who cares. What's the point to live a good life when we could all be selfish and greedy. Look bro these types of pontifications on the internet don't solve anything except causing people to scoll over your shit. Yes the world has many problems, but it has always had problems. This is not the end nor is it the beginning of the end. The only thing we as people can do is live a balanced life.

By the way if you say that therapists prey on others, than any other medical practice preys on others. Shit ministers, priests, and other religious leaders prey on others also. I really don't get you.

peace, love, and booty booty booty rockin everywhere.

That's funny, swagger was the 2005 NFL word of the year:

"As it turns out, it’s one of the most important elements of football. Games are decided by the presence or absence of swagger. Championships are won by the team that walks the walk, so to speak."
