Insights of the Idiotic: Teenage Slang and Sayings

I think we can all agree that this needs no lengthy introduction: Most teenagers are stupid and they say stupid things. While it is often the context that renders their statements hypocritical and just plain stupid, most of the time they have "stand-alone stupidity."

"Shut up, white boy!"

True story: A girl with skin so pale I dare call it alabaster started shouting obscenities at someone at lunch; calling him "white boy" in the process. We all know someone does this and they're usually the kind of person who plays 50 Cent's game Bulletproof religiously.

"I'm from the hood-- or better yet, the projects..."

If teenagers walk down the hallways reciting rap songs of their own invention on a routine basis where you work/attend school, you've probably heard this line more than once.
Next time, politely tap them on the shoulder and say, "Excuse me," in a polite voice, followed by, "YOU CAN'T 'OR BETTER YET' YOUR LOCATION OF ORIGIN YOU FRAUD!" and walk away.

"You don't know me like that."

Translation: "Because you don't know me personally, I can smugly dismiss your observations as faulty even though they're spot-on."
You'll hear this one a lot if you call people on their bullshit.

"They got my back!"

Any time a distinct possibility of a fight arises, everyone immediately gathers up large crowds of people who "have their backs" and bark this back and forth for twenty consecutive minutes instead of doing the right thing: beating the living dog shit out of each other, then and there, and getting the damn thing over with!
Aside: Usually when someone has your back, they mean "way back."

"Cuh"

I've said it countless times before, and I'll probably say it countless times in the future: The word "cuh" pisses me off!
If you don't already know, "cuh" is what people who live vicariously through MTV say at the end of every phrase that isn't prepositional, and half of the ones that are.
It's a word without meaning-- thrown in at a rate proportionate to the inadequacy of the speaker.
Some suggest that it's related to the word "cousin," but I've yet to hear anyone use it in this context.

"That's my brother from another mother."

If you hear anyone say this, they're obviously failing Biology.

"What's your beef?"

What's my beef? What the hell does that even mean and do they seriously expect an answer?
"Veal. Now how about a relevant or coherent question, dicknose?"

"I'm not even talking to you!"

Is it ironic or paradoxic to shout, "I'm not talking to you?"
Either way, you can safely dismiss the speaker as an idiot.

"Flaggin'"

People who say the word flaggin' are the reason I'm pro-choice.

"Rep"

Hell will be a rep-rieve when I'm done with these idiots.

"Buddha"

"Buddha," as the archaic slang word "dope," is used as an adjective and means nothing. "This shit is buddha!" That doesn't mean anything! Why do these idiots try and fail so hard at communicating?

Nobody expects teenagers to be a vast source of wisdom, but I sometimes wonder if they hear themselves speak? Or, conversely, do they just speak to hear the sound of their own voice? Sure, it sounds cool to all their buddies, but you and I shake our heads in disgust.
