Some of my friends speak strangely. Once during a visit one of them noticed that I had a large number of rooms with dead light bulbs. Did he say "You need light bulbs!" ? No, he chose to respond with the colorful and confusing "Get some more lighty doos up in here!"


They also have a problem with the word do, they're always "doin it big", any activity whatsoever is referred to as "doin it", small objects like cigarettes or cards or dominoes are almost always referred to as "do its"[i]. [i]"Lemme get a do it!" is uttered when they want a cigarette. I know what they mean but a stranger might be baffled by that phrase. Was that a suggestive pick up line? A threat perhaps? What exactly do you require from me?


Often phrases will not make any sense with the context they are placed,
like when someone comments on the heavy alcohol consumption and at a
gathering of ours you can bet the phrase "that's just how we roll" will
be uttered, often boastfully. How exactly are we rolling? We're just sitting at the table doing shots! We're not even in a motor vehicle, let alone moving in any way shape or form. Lucky for us because it would be dangerous and quite illegal to be rolling during out inebriated state.


Like I said earlier often the phrase "doin it big" will come up, even when the events narrated turn out to not be very big at all. How is riding in the passenger seat while your buddy drives his mommy's car waving at girls at the waterfront but NOT PICKING THEM UP then coming to my house to bum cigarettes (or do its as you prefer to call them) doing it big? That sounds like doing it lame to me, seems like someone is bullshitting himself.


They also has a tendency to use what I call the izzles.
We've all heard them before, fo shizle, all up in the hizzy etc. One of them insists on calling Jack in the Box "Jack in the Neezie" How box became neezie in his mind continues to confound me. Jack in the Bizzle might make more sense despite not sounding any smarter but Neezie? I don't get it.


Often words that have no need of elaborate verbal dressing ups will have unnecessary phrases added. Socks became sock dizzles. Newports became Port Neezies, and so on and so forth.


Anyone else got friends that talk like this? Is it annoying or just amusing? I can never decide.

To clarify it's usually when we're all goofing around and is mostly said in an overly animated way, rarely are these words and phrases used in any serious conversations. The thing is though, we're always goofing around, I almost never talk seriously with them.
