shizzle

Looks like this page has been vandalised. Please fix, someone!84.13.215.134 (talk) 13:23, 15 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Shizzle now redirects here. So shouldn't the merge tag be removed ?

just to let anyone who wonders know: the infix usage is not even mentioned in the newspaper article referenced. and just IMHO, it seems like made up bull. Blueaster 04:25, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we can be more specific and use "American" instead of "English" because that would also imply its usage in the english language, while locating its origin.

The mention of E-40 and "other artists" while explaining "snoop speak" makes the sentence confusing and ambiguous.

The examples imo need to be better chosen- maybe taken from a celebrity quote, and giving their non-slang versions. Also "crap" seems to be innapropriate.

Mac Dre aka Mac Drizzy: Mac Drizzle: Ronald Dregan: The MD (and many others...) first used the term and variant of this on the record YYB-Young Black Brother featuring up and comming bay or yay area artist Mac Mall in his song On My Toes in 1993:

"A young playa shootin to the tizzop Could never be a sucker who’s sprung on some kizzot Mac Drizzay the one you like to listen to I’m on the dizzank an now im thizzin too Git dizzo with some shit I rizzote I got shizzed every time I gizzo You see smizzoke and then you start to chizzoke Pop a straight fizzact, could never be brizzoke Mac Drizzay all damn dizzay I get bizzay an stack that skizzay" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.77.123.178 (talk) 21:45, 28 November 2007 (UTC) I think the article is good.It needs tidyingup, but personally I found it useful84.92.168.215 18:37, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it shouldn't be deleted anyway. No matter how dumb it may be, Dogg Latin was a pretty big pop-culture thing in the late 90s. Anyway, I'm not going to improve it, so essentially this post is useless. Sorry. Kinghy 19:52, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also referred to as "Dogg Latin".

Just pointing that out.

that's interesting, but could u give us a source? Blueaster 02:27, 27 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has way too many "^{[verification needed]}".

The early forms of Iz, as used in Frankie Smith's songs are based on a child language form sometimes known as Pig Greek or Double Dutch. See ubbi Dubbi for variations. Comedian Bill Cosby's, Fat Albert character Mushmouth spoke based on the use of ubbi dubbi, a variation of double dutch. --Lendorien 22:22, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Would "dogg latin" be in any way a reference to the esteemed Snoop D-O-double gizzle?

Too much speculation, not enough intuitive feel. No one would say minizzute (it alters the stress too much). Mizzinute, with the stress of the original mi- now being placed on the mizz- —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.175.118.248 (talk) 15:25, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In an episode of South Park, Chef gives a humorous history of the use of -izzle, suggesting that it is language intended to baffle white people. This should be mentioned in the Pop Culture section if someone can find the exact quote. Lurlock (talk) 04:47, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clearly anything South Park related would be a valuable inclusion for this page. I hope you can find a source. I looked on Youtube briefly, but no luck. Fo shizzle we can get some South Park izzle into this artizzlecle. :) (Wallamoose (talk) 16:22, 17 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

-izzle to avoid censorship?

"Nigga" is censored but "Nizzle" is not...plenty of other examples abound. It seems this fact is pretty central to the usage and predominance of the -izzle suffix in mainstream media outlets. Can we maybe make this a bigger part of the page, find sources for it, and delete more of the stuff that is original research or just junk? Cazort (talk) 23:19, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
