You could never disrespect the real Bootsy. When you’re doing too much you hella bootsee.
“Bootsee” is when you’re doing too much and Bootsy’s way of dressing was far out. The only one who can be bootsee and get away with it is the legendary Bootsy Collins. The first rapper who ever said bootsee (on a record) was E-40-21 years ago on a song called “Bootsee,” explaining what it is. While you wait on that future bestseller (and his upcoming double album, The D-Boy Diary, Books 1 And 2), Genius sat down with E-40 and asked him to guide us through the most cryptic colloquialisms he’s dropped over a beat, in his own words…īootsee: Bootsee comes from the streets of Oakland. scored a top 40 hit by unknowingly adopting 40’s marijuana slang ( “Broccoli”).Ĥ0 Fonzarelli has gifted listeners with so much slang that he could write a book on it. And his lingo-picked up from his Bay Area stomping grounds or concocted himself-is still resonating. The 48-year-old rap vet, who debuted in the late 1980s with his group The Click, was adding words and phrases to the hip-hop lexicon back when some of today’s rappers were rocking Pampers. Rich, scholarly and informative, The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang and Unconventional English is an indispensable resource for language researchers, lexicographers and translators.“Got a way with my words, my lingo and vernacular,” E-40 raps on ScHoolboy Q’s “Dope Dealer,” perhaps the truest rhyme he’s ever dropped. This dictionary contains many entries and citations that will, and should, offend. No term is excluded on the grounds that it might be considered offensive as a racial, ethnic, religious, sexual or any kind of slur. This new edition includes over 500 new headwords collected with citations from the last five years, a period of immense change in the English language, as well as revised existing entries with new dating and citations. Television, computers, drugs, music, unpopular wars, youth movements, changing racial sensitivities and attitudes towards sex and sexuality are all substantial factors that have shaped culture and language.
In terms of content, the cultural transformations since 1945 are astounding. Etymology, cultural context, country of origin and the date the word was first used are also provided. The 25,000 entries are accompanied by citations that authenticate the words as well as offer examples of usage from popular literature, newspapers, magazines, movies, television shows, musical lyrics, and Internet user groups.
The Routledge Dictionary of Modern American Slang offers the ultimate record of modern, post WW2 American Slang.
