Survival 101

working on a poster its a spoof of the basic stuff you need to survive.
1. shelter
2. food
3. water

and I have these sweet old drawing out of an old survival guide I scanned in and I'm thinking of having those 3 things be more "urban" like from the street hehe.

ex

1. Phat Crib
2.
3. would be the company brand

i need help with some street lang for

shelter
and good food.

Michael

Here's a few..

Shelter - crib, pad, joint, spot, place, where I stay at, da hood, hizzle, shizzle or sheltizzle
Good food - grub, eats

ah very good, thanks ;) had no idea hizzle or shizzle is another word for shelter,

thought it was a term for agreement, "fo shizzle", eh?

cheers,

For #2, how about a specific food, like...I dunno, chips? Twinkies, etc.? Also, what if you used some of the terminology of the oldskool survival manual.

For example (Imagine as though read by old-timey educational slide show narrator):
How To Survive In An Urban Jungle
1. Locate and Secure Dope-Ass Crib
2. Hunt for grub
3. Never be without your *BLANK* survival boots.
*BLANK*
For survival in today's modern world.

Hey, this is post #411. How bout that.

There's not many rules to the "izzle". Basically, just substitute it for the last vowel and subsequent letters at the end of any word. "Shizzle" could be used for "Sure" or "Shelter", it depends on the context. That's why I threw in the Sheltizzle to be more clear. Check out some mizzle exampizzles hizzle.

I like Pganguly's idea. I saw MadTV do a sketch in that style about STDs or something. It was pretty good.

Imo, the 'izzle' thing is a tad overdone.

I mean, it's funny when Snoop Dogg does it, but that's only because he's a stoned-up mess (Which makes him funny). Don't get me wrong, he's a comic genius, and part of that is the whole 'izzle' thing, but it seems only to work for him, and maybe Jazze Pha.

Also, if nothing else, the 'izzle' thing doesn't print well. I mean, it looks kind of weird printed, especially silk screened on a shirt or printed on a poster or something.

So, to sum up:
When the Snoopy D-O-Double-Gizzle does it, it's funny; every one else, less so.

Except Adam Sandler. That sh*t was funny!

I agree it's played out though. Everytime I hear someone use it I feel like slapping them.

When I see Snoop talk on Zellers commercials I want to gag large fur balls. Don't use any of that *izzle, or I will curse you. Keep it real bro.

shizzle
"sheh-zul"

I concur, my african american friend

Fo shizzle my nizzle
