Actually, I think it was more white guys that were trying to be "ghetto thugs" that said word.

I'm still not sure whether you were being humourously ironic, or really didn't know. Either way,

SoYank... I agree completely. Oops...

'word dude'

And some people wonder why they're unemployable**...

Whatever happened to:
  • OK
  • looks good
  • all right
  • excellent
  • sure
  • agreed
  • fair enough
  • concur
  • good enough
Not forgetting all the other interesting adjectives and adverbs...



** I know I'm missing the point and being a miserable old git, but when this transfers (with text talk) to everyday language (and CV's) then it does become an issue for those wondering why they didn't get through the door, especially when strong or decent written and verbal skills are a necessity.
