This week our hosts continue the tradition of defining a word or phrase of teen slang, but leap from amateur lexicographers to rookie linguists? Laquoia, 20 years old, Tyme, 19, and Amanda, 16 use one of the most familiar phrases associated with youth and turn it upside down and inside out to underscore the essence of our show ? that language is much more than a simple message conveying information? The dissection of this simple term - that many teens use 20 times a day - demonstrates the most fundamental concepts of Derridian deconstruction and Chomskian linguistics - how the tone and context of the message, and identity of the sender and the receiver, can influence the meaning that is interpreted. Some words you hear will be foreign, some sentiments or facts may not sit well with you ? we strive each week to present youth in the stark reality they live and move in, with the hope that the more real information we have on how they?re living, the more we can understand why they?re dying, whether it?s the death of their physical body or their hopes or aspirations? Without further ado?
