vsb glossary

you’ve asked for it, and, quite frankly, we’ve needed it for some time.

no, we’re not referring to nicki sunshine’s “treasure box“, but, at long last, a comprehensive glossary of terms we use here on vsb.

from miss-t-lee’s  “throat punch” to “diva dudes”, today’s entry will be nothing but definitions of terms we commonly use here.

also, in the comments, please feel free to list and define any relationship-related colloquialisms you’ve used before.

our goal here is to eventually create, similar to the urban dictionary, an interactive function on the site where visitors can continually submit new and/or revised terms  (moderated by us, of course)

also, since this will be my last entry of the year (…and of my 20′s. yup. the next time you hear from me, i’ll officially be 20 years from aarp. yikes!!), i just wanted to let you all know how much i’ve appreciated your support, and i hope every one has a safe, joyful, and lascivious holiday and new year and sh*t.

diva dude:

an epidemic unique to the black community, the “diva dude” describes the annoying entitled mindset created in certain black men, developed after reading and hearing about the “good black male shortage” that’s supposedly sweeping through the country at a pandemic rate

eb’s (evil b*tches):

this term describes a particular type of toxic woman, who fits at least two of the following criteria:

1. they’ve physically fought another woman over a man

2. they’re not clinically depressed, and they don’t have eclectic teeth, but they never, ever smile.

3. they have ZERO female friends

4. they consistently refer to themselves in the third person, but it’s never tongue-in-cheek.

5.  they’re completely unable to be shamed


chick logic:

the thought process that a majority of women subscribe to that entails neither rational thought, history, or common sense. see also non-sense

light-skinned point(s):

1) the additional attention that fairer skinned light skinned women receive over their darker-skinneded sisters whether or not their face actually warrants any attention at all. 2) the assumed increase in attractiveness laid before melanin deficient black women…whether or not their face actually warrants any attention at all.

***ok…thats a start. i’ll be making edits to this list as we come up with more definitions and sh*t.***

***10:30AM EDIT***

2520:

first used on vsb by sista t, we think this term originally derived from harold clemens blog, ghettouprising. anywhoo, “2520″ is a code for refering to caucasians and sh*t. if said aloud, 25th (w) and 20th (t) letters of the alphabet “y”-”t” sound almost exactly like “white”.

“need more people” (definition contributed by naturally alise):

this line is derived from the poet laureate of my mp3 player, Jay-Z in “Takeover” regarding Mobb Deep
Then you dropped “Shook Ones,” switch your demeanor
Well – we don’t believe you, you need more people

So basically it means you need some witnesses, some DNA, or something for anyone to believe your story….

vsb glitter (definition contributed by pbg):

sparkly love for any VSB newbies.

”shaking the ranch” or “stirring mac and cheese” (contributed by tzerai)

originally from the champ’s now defunct d.theroyalyoungs.com, these terms refer to the sounds of good sex.

(from miss-t-lee)

flatbackers:

women without booty

footer:

a man with a giant wang

“the throat punch”

a proper figurative or literal response to utter foolishness

(from monk)

sunshine (noun) or sunshined (verb):

derived from Lela Rochon’s character, Sunshine, in “Harlem Nights” where the lovin’ is so good, it’ll make a man call his wife and tell her he’s never coming home. This term is not gender specific so anyone can be sunshined.

(from noted vsb historian wudaman)

“t-shirt”

whenever a comment on vsb has such sagacity that it comes across like a slogan, its deemed “t-shirt” worthy

(from jarrod halsey)

blockamore:

a woman who is only attractive from a block or more.

—the champ

  1. Champ,

    thanks for giving me the perfect opportunity to “de-lurk”…I know that the term 2520s refers to our melanin-deprived counterparts, but where did it come from?

    Though this is less of a glossary inquiry can someone (please) fill me in?

  2. “need more people”

    ex.
    Champ: I am the greatest
    Luvvie: You need an army, clowncar, and a gaggle of more people.

    -This line is derived from the poet laureate of my mp3 player, Jay-Z in “Takeover” regarding Mobb Deep

  3. I like this diva dude name. I have been trying to come up woth a name for these dudes for years. I thought they only existed here in Detroit.

    • @Humble_One,

      Nope they’re also in north carolina, have been known to raise up, take their shirt off, wrap it around their hand, and spin it like a helicopter.

    • @Humble_One,
      I thought they only existed here in Detroit.

      Nah them hoez is errywhere!!!! lol
      *throat punch*

      • @Everyone,

        Ok so these dudes are everywhere. Do they wear sunglasses in the club in your cities too? Is there a name for their female counterpart? Because we have them here in Detroit too.

        • @Humble_One,

          Do they wear sunglasses in the club in your cities too? Is there a name for their female counterpart?

          because they have so many feminine qualities, THEY are their female counterparts. kind of like “tootsie” and sh*t

        • @Humble_One,

          H3ll yes they wear sunglasses in the club here too. I swear, I roast them bammas into a state of CHARRED every time I see them. Seriously, I go in. And if I have enough liquor in me, it may turn into a full out performance roasting.

          *sangin’* “Gotta have fuuun in this club!”

        • @Humble_One, spent hours of my life I will never get back watching diva dudes with sunglasses on in the club…all dancing with eachother doing the “Halle Berry”, “Ricky Bobby” and “Stanky Leg” which I am thoroughly convinced are the same dance created to give dudes a psuedo-legal reason to dance with each other more so than the half naked ratchet looking bussit babies dressed in mini dresses and pleather knee boots that do not fit.

  4. ****TANGENT****

    Happy Hanukka
    Merry Christmas
    Happy Kwanzaa

    Happy Holidays to all my VSB fam.

    Whatever you believe in or celebrate I hope you are blessed and spend time with those you love and count your blessing, especially those of us that fool around on VSB while we are at work all day. I know I feel blessed to even have a job lately.

  5. BBJ=Brown Baby Jesus.

    I prefer to see Jesus as an infant, much like the great Ricky Bobby. And of course, he is a beautiful brown child. Cuz they are the cutest.

    Glitter=sparkly love for anybody that comes to VSB. I have an endless supply.

  6. Why thank u for the special shout out, Champ (I think!) I must be one of the ONLY ones at work this morning!!!!! (note to self: new job in the New Year)

    I’d never heard “Diva Dude” but thanks to you, I’ll be incorporating it into my daily speech.

    Another term:

    Dead: Something is so funny or shocking that u have no response, you’re just “dead.”

  7. You could do a mini novel on all of the slang for “forming the beast with two backs” but my personal fav (which I continue to give you credit for) is …..”shaking the ranch”…the look on folks faces is priceless when i break it down to em.

    On another note…pre happy birthday and $hit!!! I will have to school you on the rules of post 30 life once you reach the other side…the game does change! LOL.

    Peace and happy holidays to you and all VSB readers!!!

  8. Aww Champie…thanks for the “throat punch” shout out.
    A throat punch by the way can be literally (I don’t recommend this unless you know you can infact render the person unconcious) or figuratively. Mine are almost always figuratively. I prefer to beat your azz with my words.I know, hate to bust the bubble. I’m still a hard though. :)

    Happy Early B-day Champie. I turned the big 30 back in June. It’s not so bad.

    * my few contibutions
    Flatbackers–chicks with no arse
    Footer-a dude with a massive unit.

  9. @Champ,
    Happy (early) Birthday and shyt!!

    Unto the glossary:

    Sunshine: (verb) derived from Lela Rochon’s character, Sunshine, in “Harlem Nights” where the lovin’ is so good, it’ll make a man call his wife and tell her he’s never coming home. This term is not gender specific so anyone can be sunshined.

  10. Sometimes people post something with such sageacity that it comes across like a slogon. In these instances someone may make the call ‘T-shirt,’ or ‘Tee Shirt’ sort of like that time in Forest Gump when an entrepeneur told Forest how he was quitting his day job to sell t-shirts. Forest then gets splashed with the mud. The guy exclaims ‘sh!t.’ Forest retorts ‘yeah it happens.’ Then Forest wipes his face with the t-shirt. The man opens the t-shirt to reveal the muddied design of a smiley face. Taddaaah the smiley face sh!t it happens tee is born. We have these moments on VSB also. Sometimes they are title worth. I leave that to The Champ he’s pretty Champtastic @ that.

    three centuries ain’t that bad dunnie. Happy early B-day

  11. just wanted to send my own wishes of a merry “whateveryoucelebrate” to everybody that ventures here to VSB, lurker or not. we appreciate your support and comments and everything that contributes to making this an entertaining place where everybody can come to play…ALL day long.

    hopefully, the next year will bring some new and entertaining things to VSB as we have some new things planned and in the works.

    also, be on the lookout for more VSB happy hours, etc in every city.

    queens get the money.

    one.

    • @Panama Jackson,

      for our foreign sistren and brethren can we be real explicit about when the next post is gonna be…so no one freaks out a la thanksgiving! lmao!

      have a fabulous holiday peej. and happy early birthday champ!

      • @shatani, well, its definitely not coming tomorrow or Friday.

        the idea of taking a break until after the new year has been toyed around with, but i’ll put it this way: in the event that no post is coming, we’ll make sure to leave a post indicating that no post is coming.

        capiche? capiche.

        lol.

      • @The Sula Experiment. Live it!, we had a big arse baby shower actually. something like 80-85 people were at this joint (we had it at a restaurant). so we’re good and straight…

  12. Happy Holidays VSB fam.

    May all of you be blessed with warmth, comfort, love, and, laughter (cuz ya’ll b cracking me up).

    and as far as an addition to the VSB glossary is concerned… it’s a pure VSB lexicon to add “and shyt” to a statement for emphasis… so here on VSB “and shyt” is …. ummm an interjection (that was 4 u Champ and all the english teachers out there). And as a part of speech belongs in the glossary. BIG HEAD NERD CHICKS STAND UP!

  13. i’d also like to add to the lexicon the “welcome committee”….these are the ladies and gentlemen that pop up to welcome our de-lurkers into the fold….it usually consists of glitter, diva dust (or homemade confetti and giant bows that somehow hit people square in the forehead when the substitue committe has to handle things….we are understaffed!), addition of one’s name to the prayer list in the cubicle and the promise of an omlette (which will never come)

    its our way of making everyone feel comfortable posting with this big bunch of loveable crazies.

    and also, since i generally am one, i would also like to add the “vsb vampire crew” to the lexicon…

    that is the small group of us who are up at all kinds of unGodly hours waiting for the moment when the new post pops up! we are the reason why there are hundreds of posts by the time most of you get to work to read here. youre welcome!

    • @shatani,

      you know, one day a couple months ago, i woke up and checked vsb on the comp, and was so surprised that 273 comments had already been left that i assumed i had overslept for work, and that it was 11am instead of 7:30.

      anyway, thanks and sh*t vampire crew

  14. Because I do not want to copyright infringe on anyone, I would like to say that I heard this word from LH of diamondsuite.net. With that said, I would like to introduce the word clingbot.

    Clingbot – is a significant other, jump-off or potential GF/BF who is extremely clingy, almost to the point of suffocation. In lamest terms it is a hobbyless hoe.

  15. You may see the names Palmela and Handgela. Those are the names of the Champs girlfriends.

    Shhh, neither knows that the Champ is two-timing them.

  16. Oh another one that came to mind that I’ve seen areound here- swamp donkey (can’t remember who first mentioned it).

    Swamp donkey – someone with unfortunate features

  17. Oh! Happy Early BDay Champ!! Happy 30th!!!

    I can’t tell you anything about 30 cuz i’m not there yet… hee hee hee. But hope you enjoy your day! Now you can get into the 30-30… lol Have fun!

  18. Happy holidays to everyone and all the best to you and yours!

    For those of you who are unfortunately working today…pull the fire alarm or sumthin’

  19. Happy Holidays to y’all.

    To the rest of us still working, just grind through it. This too shall pass.

    Happy early B-day Champ! Have lots of fun on the big 3-0. Mine is a shy 3 months away… So we’ll be getting to the other side together.

    Hope all of you have a very drunken and opposite s3x filled holiday!

    ***Glittery Smooches all around (sorry pbg, I had to steal some for a sparkly holiday season***

  20. Hat boy – a guy who looks good with a hat on, but once it comes off you see he’s a waterhead.

  21. I haven’t seen any mention of “Not that there’s anything wrong with that…” in reference to gay/gayness/gay-like activities.

  22. Here at VSB, we are master roasters, so a couple of phrases have become regular lexicon.

    “Scary @ me”> – coined by our beloved PBG. Means something scares or horrifies you. Originally said by a child she babysat, but kids say the darndest things

    “Abhor your DNA Makeup”, “I’m livid at your forehead”, “Ur geneological makeup is awkward”, “Your bone structure angers me” – ALL pretty much means you face offends us. – These are all from either me, PBG or Alise

    “Steel Jaws” – Refers to Rain Pryor and her very strong jaws that could chew steel

  23. The “Ho Sit Down Gift Basket” – coined by Jen. I don’t know about yall, but that phrase changed my life, and made me cackle for AT LEAST 57 minutes.

    Now available: The “Ho Sit Down”: gift card, vouchers, IOU, rain checks, coupons, link cards, spa treatment, post card, business card…

  24. Happy Early Birthday Champ! Enjoy the holiday everyone.

    The boss is letting us go at 1PM. I’m leaving before I get more work dumped on my desk.

  25. I messed up my original post so here goes again:

    I must add the wonderful word bestowed upon my e-posse (PBG, Luvvie, Overit) by the vanglorious Erykah Badu

    Ho-Sh*t

    Please, Luvvie kick it off for those that don’t know!

  26. What about a “Bootydo”

    As in: “Yo, her stomach come out more than her booty do”

    ~HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!~

  27. Here’s one that MUST be included. When someone at VSB speaks the gospel, it’s been known for people to respond with “Chuuch” or “Tabernackle” to show agreeance. However, VSBers have incorporated extensions that have no ending such as:
    *St.Peters Paul and Mary’s Episcopal New Corinthians Church of Latter Day Saints Bible Study*

  28. new to the VSB…former roommate of WiseDiva…loving what you guys do…keep it up…oh, and on the 2520, my former boss and i call ‘em Europeans….lol…

    miracles and blessings…

  29. I see no Holiday Heart references!!! Blackbusters get love on vsb lol.

    I’m bummed I missed this post!

  30. I found this post hilarious but I am wondering if you could decipher your tag line for the site: “Where Our Favorite CP3 Wears a B-Cup”? I’ve skimmed around the site and haven’t been able to figure it out. Can you enlighten me?

    • @Sydnie,

      i just know that cp3 is candace parker and she plays basketball and i assume has a b cup…she also has slicked down baby hair like ginuwine, so shes got that going for her too.

      to be honest, i dont get the tagline either.

  31. I came here today to see if there was going to be a new topic . . .
    I knew it was going to be a long shot but at least I tried. It’s bad enough I have to work today while half of the city closed, now I have to get through today with last night’s hang-over and without my VSB fix. In other words it going to be a long day

  32. YOOOO!!! I thought I was the only one that said “You need more people” and I got it from the EXACT same place! Good stuff fellas!!
