lol yeah - I thought about it - how cool became dank, "relax"
  becomes smoke weed every day and stuff...* and that most of the
  ppl who talk like that don't smoke weed... but then I thought,
  wait, who does?* Ahh - their parents/aunts/uncles/teachers/etc.
  So it's a weird cross of respect and extreme sarcasm.* I
  understand MLG but I try not to write it 'cause I have my own
  writing style and was never much for speaking in pig latin or
  other coded language.* I just like understanding stuff. It's
  full of misdirection, which made it a fun language to study.**
  [well not study, just "notice", ever since Halo days].* I also
  don't normally translate into standard English because 'staying
  underground' - having 'ownership' of the language is important
  to those who speak it, and I respect that.
