So I found this website today--Gizoogle--which translates text into Snoop Dogg-esque slang. I put the course description for my Language and Society class (seemed fitting) through it and this is what came out:
Language impacts bustin' we do . Im crazy, you can't phase me: how we think, how we learn, how we vizzy ourselves n interact wit otha and cant no hood fuck with death rizzow. We wiznill look carefully at tha patterns n functions of language ta gain a gangsta sense of how language establishes our cultural identities n social allegiances, how language creates n disseminizzles knowledge, how it develops n maintains shot calla. We will interrogate tha functions of language n hustla how simple alterations in language use miznight lead ta distinctly different outcomes, bizzoth in terms of blingin' n cultural impact so you betta run and grab yo glock.
That last sentence cracks me up.

Genius. I did a movie w/ Snoop Dogg early in the year. He was completely baked the whole time.
There is a Vietnamese restaurant in LA called "Pho Shizzle," which always makes me laugh.
I must do my course description on this Web site.
Yes the last sentence is apt. Glocks at the ready!
Here are some great translations from my own bizatch:
'Benatar has a lot ta makes up fo` wit "izzle Me Wit Yo Bizzay Shot."'
'Everyone: what tha hizzy does blunt-rollin' mean anyway?'
'Nizzle pizzay: Wizzle tha hell is up wit Rochesta?/Jane Pimp I married him?'
Pimp, I married him! That's classic.
Hah: This Is Jizzy ta Say

I hizzle eaten

n whizzich

mobbin'

Forgive me

n so cold
This is so much fun! Look at where I teach (here in "Fizzle Collins, Colo"):
Colorado State Universizzles Department of Foreign Languages n Literatizzles baller Bachelor of Arts n Masta of Arts degrees. Dogg House Records in the motha fuckin house.
The Department has a strong commitment ta undergraduate education n offa majors in French, German, n Spanish. Undergraduate minors is offered in French, German, Japanizzles Russian, n Spanish. Put ya mutha fuckin choppers up if ya feel this. Basic fizzirst n second year courses may also be taken in Chinese, Italian, Latin n Arabic. The programs in foreign languages emphasize oral n written proficiency n aim ta develop knowledge of tha culture n tha literatizzles n ta promote tha critical n analizzle skills requisite ta an understand'n of they relatizzles.
The placement exam is done on tha computa n normally takes 20-30 minutes....Once you have concluded tha exam, tha gangsta wizzy give you a score. The lab attendant will ask you ta sizzign a fizzle n W-to-tha-izzill tizzle you whiznat class you place into. Aint no L-I-M-I-to-tha-T."
This translation is indeed "literatizzle" in its own right.
Is a glock etymologically related to a glockenspiel? I would rather teach in the manner of the latter.
