I'm either getting old, stupid, more confused than usual, past is catching up with me, or all of the above. Some of the slang that's been vomited into the English language in recent years has me stunned fucking rigid. Let's consider the following 4 words, Sick, Pimp, Ill, Dope. Now, way back in my time, two of those words meant unwell, one meant drugs and one was an asshole who lived off the avails of prostitution. Today they all mean 'good' or 'fine', and can be the cause of no small amount of confusion.

I can no longer call in sick for work - "The RobScenity didn't show up today." "Really? That's odd, he called in a while ago saying he was just fine. Said he was sick, really really ill."

Pimp & Dope. My question is this: If a guy has a bunch of women working in the Sex Trade and he treats them very well, plus he sells excellent quality drugs, is he a Dope Pimp with Pimp Dope?

Maybe now you can see where most of my headaches stem from.
