re: How exactly does one “get hype”?

Nope, no problem there. I’m married with kids and my wife fricks me at least once every other week.

You want the truth?

In America we have different regional and cultural dialects. One of those dialects is the speech patterns of African-Americans (sometimes referred to as ebonics). A characteristic of ebonics is to occasionally replace/add letters in certain words (credicks, checkings, Sprike) or drop letters from certain words (I'm bias instead of I'm biased).

The phrase "get hype" is the ebonics version of "get hyped" which is obviously a truncated version of the phrase "get hyped up." Hype being a shortened version of the word hyper or hyperactive. In essence, it means to get excited or aroused (not sexually).

White people and boomers and whoever controls the media (((them))) try their hardest to copy ebonics to show that they're "hip" or "with it." Thus, you'll see newscaster Karen talking about getting "turnt up" at the baseball game last weekend or whatever. They're too tone-deaf to realize it comes across as totally disingenuous and ignorant.

As for how to "get hype?" Rail a couple of lines off a stripper's arse crack and watch some Joe Burrow highlights. That's my plan, anyway.

I was 16 in 1991 when we said "Get Buck!" to mean "get Hype" after MC Hammer used it in 2 Legit 2 Quit.

I have a little game that I play with my middle school students every year.

My teachers did something similar when a kid would ask, "can I go to the bathroom?" and they would reply, "I don't know, can you?" Passive aggressive way of doing it, but I get what they were going for.

I've read essays college students have written (from freshman all the way to seniors applying for law school) and the grammar, spelling, and punctuation issues are fricking rampant. I got an 8 year old niece who just figured out how to spell her name. Like what the frick are they teaching (or not teaching) these kids and why aren't their parents reinforcing it at home?

Then again, if everyone talks like a retard (a la Idiocracy), nobody will notice.

ETA: sometimes it's not practical to correct every little error, like on a rapid fire work chat while trying to get a project done before deadline or shitposting on the OT, but you'd think for something major like a college level essay or law school application, these kids could be bothered to capitalize their name or spell out "because" instead of b/c

I bet you are a fricking blast to be around.

This is something I’ve seen a few times over the past few weeks and it makes me irrationally angry. Much more so than it should. You watch the hype video to get “hyped” not “hype”.

I took a chance and decided to watch WBRZ for the weather since WAFB has Dianne Deaton today and I’m pretty sure she’s not a meteorologist and doesn’t know what she’s talking about and instead I got this bullshite. Just reminds me why I hate WBRZ.

How this headline makes it on air with a “respectable” media outlet is beyond me. Millennials are being hired by various employers haphazardly nowadays. Whoever was responsible for putting this on air surely had the same kind of typos on their resume that probably went ignored or overlooked during the hiring process and that is pathetic. This just screams unprofessionalism.

I fricking hate my generation.
