As an African-American I can't keep up with the lingo...at all.

My nephew came up to me this past weekend and said "Uncle, can I chop it up with you?"

And I said "Chop it up? Nephew, you dealin' cocaine and want me to chop it up for the sale?"

fortunately my cousin was there who is in his 30's and said, "naw man, thats the phrase for can we talk."

So I said "Oh, you mean you wanna rap to me about something, well lets rap a taste."

My nephew said, "Rap, Oh, thats what you old guys mean for flowin" Naw I don't wanna flow..I leave that for Lil Wayne and 'fifty..."

My cousin looked at my nephew and said "Naw man thats the phrase for... so you wanna talk about something."

Nephew: "yeah, Unc...I'm thinking about gettin a whip"

"I replied, "Whip? what you gotta kinky bitch into some satanic shit, betta' leave them kinda hoes alone!"

Cousin replied, Naw cuz, he means a car.
I replied "Oh a you mean a ride?"

My nephew said, "Well..yeah thats what a whip is for..to ride around.."
Me: In your ride, right?"
Nephew "What"


When he told me he wanted a car (whip) and I saw a picture of it, I really told my age and I said:
"Oh yeah, that's fly"

Nephew: "Fly? naw Uncle... it aint no space ship, it's a whip."

Thank goodness my cousin was young enough to know his lingo and old enough to remember mines. He was like a translator for two relatives living on the same planet, but different worlds
