  1. I think of that as more something dudes in general say to each other than specifically urban...but I guess it's not rural, either! :)

  7. The next generation sure does have their own vocabulary. I have three daughters that use these "urban" expressions, but if I pick it up from them, they are completely disgusted and make me swear to NEVER utter it again!

  9. I agree with Megan above, it just seems to be more of a way of talking that I hear. But not very nice.- Tara Berke Torres
