Come on now, people, if our pasty white asses are going to affect gangsta talk let's at least get our prepositions right

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 6 March 2003 14:50 (twenty-three years ago)

Up In, obviously.

― RJG (RJG), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

"Who In This Bitch", surely?

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:01 (twenty-three years ago)

Perhaps if the context is a humiliation orgy, Matt.

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:25 (twenty-three years ago)

I second 'up in'

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:32 (twenty-three years ago)

extra points for managing "all up in this bitch" without sounding like a show-off

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:33 (twenty-three years ago)

(yay I get extra points oh wait I'm disqualified by the base parameters BOO TO DISCRIMINATION)

― Dan Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 6 March 2003 15:34 (twenty-three years ago)

"wha up in dis bitch" innit.

― jel -- (jel), Thursday, 6 March 2003 17:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Upon?

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 6 March 2003 19:10 (twenty-three years ago)

Martin that was really really funny, thanx for it

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 6 March 2003 19:55 (twenty-three years ago)

It's definitely "Up in." I never really thought about how graphic that expression is. Hmm....

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Thursday, 6 March 2003 19:57 (twenty-three years ago)

Who In This Bitch by force of precedent.

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 6 March 2003 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

"Who, up from dis bitch,..."

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 6 March 2003 20:19 (twenty-three years ago)

Thanks, John. I feel it was in a The Pinefoxian spirit, vaguely.

― Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:14 (twenty-three years ago)

"up in" is an extra unnecessary syllable. and I agree with Sterling on In vs. On.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

"up in" also sounds like strained wannabe wanksta talk.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:18 (twenty-three years ago)

I have decided in my guise as Neologist Man that 'wanksta' fails and should be removed from the vocabulary (based on me finally hearing the song and thinking, "That's it? Boring.")

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:20 (twenty-three years ago)

I have no idea what "wanksta" means either, therefore you may remove it. However, the song rules. I love the backing track.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:22 (twenty-three years ago)

"Who In This Bitch Likes Formalism" is so much better than "Who Up In This Bitch Likes Formalism"

― Sterling Clover (s_clover), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:29 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah but there's a convoluted charm to "Who Likes Formalism All Up In This Bitch"

― J0hn Darn1elle (J0hn Darn1elle), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:40 (twenty-three years ago)

"Smack My Formalism Up."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

"in this bitch" is better when asking a question
"up in this bitch" is better when making a statement or demand (Yo! Let's get some vodka up in this bitch!)

― oops (Oops), Thursday, 6 March 2003 21:42 (twenty-three years ago)

"in this bitch" is a white person's way of trying to say "up in this bitch"

― jethro (jethro), Thursday, 6 March 2003 22:06 (twenty-three years ago)

"on this bitch" is a white person's way of trying to say "up in this bitch"

― jethro (jethro), Thursday, 6 March 2003 22:07 (twenty-three years ago)

I dis'agree, jethro. "up in" was the original, but it's now often shortened by both black and white persons.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 6 March 2003 22:12 (twenty-three years ago)

yo sho 'bout dat?

― jethro (jethro), Thursday, 6 March 2003 22:20 (twenty-three years ago)
