Btw I think "word" comes from the phrase "word is bond" as in "my word is my bond".
Funny thing about language: it changes. "D'oh!" is now an official word for instance.. I bet that pisses off old folks too. =]
I'm not pissed off it's just that "Word" comes off as some middle class white kid trying to act like he's got some sort of street cred..with his hat on sideways and pants down around his knees (yeah go ahead and cue the video)..
