Billy Thekidster Poet Rhyme

Slang

If one more person calls me Bro or Dude
or uses the phrase WhaazUp! or Sorry, My Bad,
I think I may have to commit myself
because it's driving me friggin mad.
Please don't call me Bro or Dude.
Refer to me as Sir or My Friend or my name.
I can't take any more of this street talk slang.
It's driving me friggin insane.

I know that this street talk slang is currently all the rage.
It never annoyed me before. I guess I'm starting to show my age.

Robert A. Dufresne November 30, 2009 at 7:16 PM Welcome to the over the hill gang! Ha ha. But I guess you don't have to be older to be annoyed by ill manners. Its ok when talking to comrads but I heard a young man talking to a 70 year old man and addressing him as "hey dude". Mom would be proud.
