i was watching a home improvement show on TLC* and the head of the project was wearing a shirt that read:

“F is for FOSHIZZLE”

i was appaled. nevermind the fact that he was a late-thirties white dude desperate to be hip wearing a shirt that was too tight but showed off the muscles that he tried to maintain as his body slowly faded. rather i was appaled at the strange bastardization of black american lexicon. by including the actual “for” in the line, the inherent poor grammar of the term is somehow corrected, te slang becomes proper and standardized.

i don’t care if S is fo’Shizzle… F is Foshizzle.
