    You got a violation notice for that? I thought mine were funny. I think they should require the people who decide when to send out violation notices to be at least thirteen years old.

    Wuzzat = "what's that?"

    People will report others for anything. There's a new thing on Y!A where if someone reports a post, and it doesn't turn out to violate any rules, their power to report anything is diminished.

    i wouldn't turn you in, but it's slangy and street and i'm much too sophisticated to listen to such low rent jargon.

    Are you sure it was that particular word or was it some of the other words surrounding it? I dunno - just a thought.
