TOP NEW SAYINGS TO USE IN THE WORKPLACE

"what up g-dawg" - this is a good one, because it makes the people you work with feel like they are really your friends. The 'g' emphasizes that persons badness and gangster-like qualities. Adding this 'g' shows respect and enhances the authenticity of the gesture.
*Note*
When speaking to someone who is significantly older and wiser than yourself, it is polite to refer to this person as 'g-daddy' rather than 'g-dawg'. Especially if that person is your boss and especially if your boss is a women.

'that's just WHACK!" - the ambiguity in this phrase makes it perfect for the work atmosphere. It can be used when given a project you do not enjoy; when some workplace unfairness take place; in the presence of an oddity; or also used to describe computer system malfunctions or as an excuse to why something isn't working "it's just whack" (This example is perfect when dealing with unhappy customers for it emphasises your sameness and relieves you personally of any blame).

"let's bounce" - I find this one works well because everyone looks forward to the END of something while at work (end of the day, end of the meeting, time to leave for lunch etc.) and this phrase confirms that the end has come and it is time to depart / separate (sometimes people need someone to tell them when its okay to leave, and who better to do it than yourself?). It also leaves room for people to imagine what exciting things you will be bouncing to next. It's also a good way to round up friends for lunch time outings without giving particulars or having to engage in small talk with, those sitting around your friends. Its short, positive and to the point! Very professional.

"R U TRIPPING?" - this is a great phrase because most co-workers really are trippin' and this is an indirect saying that points them to the truth. If they are in fact trippin, maybe they don't realize because no one has brought it to their attention. This is also a good response when given tasks that seem insane, even though you will inevitably do them, at least you are letting your boss know how ridiculous they are.

Always refer to your paycheck as
'bling' and hint that you need more 'bling' from your 'g-daddy'

Make a point to emphasize how 'ghetto' your office carpet is, or your desk, chair, building, computer, bathroom, etc. And try to do it often in the presence of a maintenance worker (to hope for some sort of improvement or rivalry in the near future --ive always dreamt of a real life workplace rivalry). This of course works well if the building is actually located in the ghetto and is decrepict with rank floors, but is also very satirical when used in a well kept, new, stylish building.

Most importantly, ALWAYS refer to your significant other as your
'baby daddy'. This one is killer.

**NOTE** When sending one word emails to let your boss know you concur or understand use words such as radical, tubular, gnarly, or any other levels in the super mario star world work wonders (my boss loves it)
