diverse

A politically correct way to say that a school, area, or environment is mostly black or Hispanic. It doesn't have to be 'diverse' at all, as in Montebello High School which is 97 percent Hispanic, but it is still called 'diverse'.

Compton is an extremely diverse area.

Um, what are you talking about? It's black and Hispanic. That's not very diverse!

middle aged slang

What's in a middle-aged person's vocabulary from when they were pretty young things. it is exceptionally obvious when a.) the oldie in question is presenting a motivational speech to a bunch of bored high school kids and wants them to think they are 'hap'nin' but doesn't know the correct speech anymore, b.) when said oldie decided to write a 'convincing' teen novel. Is also apparent on the 'made for teens' websites you have to visit for school, where you're so enraptured in the hip language that you don't realize you're learning! *yay*

Let's read an exerpt of my new motivational book for teens:
Kyle: What's up Verne, you're looking tubular today!
Verne: Man, hey! Don't block my style. Anyway, I was wondering if you'd heard of the totally far-out website that helps teens like us help kids all over the world.
Kyle: Man, what a trip! Let's start making a difference!

(Communal gags from all under-85's at the blatant use of middle aged slang)

girl next floor

A girl next floor is the same as a girl next door, only she lives in a bad, ghetto neighborhood (floor, meaning apartment building instead of house). This kind of girl is like a jewel in the gutter. She is sweet, shines out like a flower, she is innocent but at the same time streetwise in her ghetto-ass neighborhood.

Evie Jaresa is the perfect girl next floor, I wish i could get with that!

starshot

Those weird ass little credit-card sized pictures, mostly of boyfriend-girlfriend but also of two best girl friends, that people in da ghetto hand out like candy. On the back the starshot is most commonly inscribed by something like:

heyy keisha dis ur girl kabrina! stay chil gurl wen u wana tlk just hit *** **** i got ur bak! xxx

Walk into any high school girl's bedroom and the mirror and walls will be invisible behind a wall of starshots.

In Napoleon Dynamite, Uncle Rico got a starshot done to look more 'official'.

My lil cousin ray ray gave me a starshot of him and his girlfriend chawntel it was sooo cuteee!
