So now...

Gram - Weight
Byte - digital data
Etc, etc, etc., blah, blah, blah...
Now, let's get Ghetto Fabulous...
Bitch - a unit of whininess? Punked out? who knows, I just like the term MEGABITCH. Based on this
same unit, a terabitch could truly be a "terror" and a nanobitch is not even worth mentioning...
Bling - One who is in possession of dekabling is ten times better than one who has only a bling.
In the same sense, millibling could be found in a box of crackerjacks...
Pimp - pimp beyond PIMP, the Gigapimp!
Shizzle - Fo' tizzle my centishizzle.
Got a good one?
Send it to me!!!
