soooooooooooooo, i was blog hopping and came across this particular person's blog which set me straight to updating my own blog after reading one of his blog entry.

lol, inspiration, much? i thought so. lol. :b
**

you probably seen/ heard/ use or even came across this word/ slang.. commonly used by singaporean teenagers/ young adults/ adults, these days.

and the word is,

DOPE.

so how much u know the word, 'DOPE.' ??????????

do u fall under one of these catergories?? (TAG AND TELL ME WHICH CATERGORY U FALL UNDER! :D)

1. immediately know what it means and use it frequently. be it verbally or typing it out.

2. have no idea what it means but seen and heard people using it.

3. kinda know what it means but not sure whether it make sense if u were to use it, also not sure whether the meaning behind it is right(accurate) or not.
*****

if u ask which catergory i fall under. i proudly say.. no, 3.

yes, i kinda know what it means but im not sure if the meaning behind it is right or not. lol, so there for i dun use it like anywhere. fearing that i might just embarrass myself. lol.

eh, nothing wrong ok!? :P

since i said i kinda know what it means.. i think the word 'DOPE' is used to replace words like 'COOL', 'HOT', 'AWESOME.' to make it sound cooler in a way.

& what i knew is that DOPE is a slang but alot said is a word too. SO therefore, it's a word as well as a slang, i suppose.
***

BUT i was still keen to find out what it really means, given i have time here and i was bored.

ive decided to go check the meaning of the word, 'DOPE', online.. (LOL, i know.)

& the results:

SEEEE! HAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! IM SO RIGHT. thou, i dont use that word to make myself sound cool. lol....

and talking about using the word 'DOPE' to make yourself sound cool,

it sorta annoys me when people start using this word oh-so-frequently, its like in them already. like they literally use the word in every sentence.

at times, i wonder if they know what they are saying.. or if they are using the word in their sentences at the right time. i mean.. yes, the meaning is right, but using it too frequently in almost all of your sentence doesnt make any sense at all, sometimes.
***

for example you wanna express to your friend how awesome his new pair of shoes look,

man! youve got some dope lookin' shoes there.

yes, that make sense..

but when it comes to a point when u over use it.. it sounds nonsensical all over again. LOL.

for instance, u wanna tell your friends how good they were at dance today,

OMFG, u guys were damn dope today at dance! WAY TO GO!

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

what the fuck is, "damn dope?" isnt the word 'dope' already exaggerated to a certain point?

if u ask me, if the above sentence make any sense, i loudly say no.

now u make it sound like, dope isnt enough to express how good they were. u decide to add 'DAMN' in.. to make it sound much more exaggerated than it was suppose to be.

yeah.. u did manage to express it to the extremeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. but if u read it over and over again, it doesnt make sense.. infact it sounds retarded enough if u say it out loud.

HAHHAHAHAHA! for real! dont believe.. read it out loud and tell me if it sounds retarded.

i know, it does sound retarded to me.

so in future, dont use the word if you're unsure of it. dont make yourself look like a fool. (:

im not laughing at anyone. just yeah, talking about it.

but of cos to those out who are fully aware of the meaning and know how to use it....

NICE! :D heehee.

another random rant of mine. woooooooooh~

ok, im going to bed.
