f is for fish fry

What do you do when some one disses you in school in front of your peeps? You go to their crib with your cousin and best homie, knock on the door and force your way in. Then you bash the b up side the head with a sharp metal object that's what.

It's the end of the semester with only two report cards to go and I am out of here. Got some serious fish fry eatin' to take care of and It's gettin' late. The phone rings. A incoming call on a Friday late in the afternoon is never good news. But I can't stand a ringing phone.

It is Tamara's mom. The story she has to tell is bizarre even for me. Female teenage students invading the home of another female teenage student has never happened before and I find it hard to believe.

Tamara is one of my exceptional ed students and has a temper meaner than a bag of tom cats. Katey is another one of my students. She is small and dainty - all girlie but with a hair trigger cocked tighter than panty hose on a fat lady.

Three days ago, Tamara and Katy were best buds. Two days ago, they were ready to rearrange each other's braids. Words were said, a bottle was raised, some more words were said, a few "f" words were carelessly flung around, and the safety aid was called.

But It was not over and they both knew it.

Katey and her homies will be ticketed and given a slap on the wrist because they are underage. It will cost them three bills and some com time. But street cred is valuable, on the g.

I notified my principal that Officer Taylor wanted a call from him asap then I called child protective services. Tamara was cut on the face and I had to report the incident.

The beer battered cod will have to wait a little longer. Damn, I hope all the corn muffins are not all gone by the time I get there.

Dude. That's what I always do.

I thought I lived on the quiet side of town - but listening to the radio news as I drove home tonight I learned that a 15 year old Aboriginal girl had been raped and murdered about 500 yards from where I live.

Do you mind if I ask some questions on the local lingo where you are?

No.

Ok - here I go.

What is the origin of 'disses' - dismisses?
Where is the origin of 'homies' - home room?
What is 'the g'?
How much is 'three bills' worth these days?

Oh, I know the 'f' word - it always stood for Fried Fish on Fridays. My Dad was raised a Catholic.

And I learned 'peeps' just recently from Kim.

Finally, what is the picture of? It's a great shot.

T: disses is disrespect or maybe in Austrailia it is the same as dismisses

homies are good friends

g is a little harder to explain but it means a gang thing like saying something is true and you swear to it "on your mother's grave". something is profound

three bills is tree hundred usd

the phot is one I snapped in downtown South Milwaukee. It looked very mysterious and sinister and thanks.

You're pretty down with the lingo. Are these elementary, high school, or college students?
