hizzi fa shizzi

| 3 Comments

Got a message to my website from someone who had seen the URL on the back window of my car. (That vinyl sign is the best thing I ever did for the car.) He said my car is "off the hizzi fa shizzi." What the heck does that mean? Based on context -- the next sentence is "your car is so cool" -- I think it's something good.

I kind of wonder if the message isn't a friend of mine having me on. Because they said they saw me Friday morning in Wellspring parking lot. But I wasn't there Friday morning; I was at home working. On the other hand, I was at Wellspring Friday evening around 5. Maybe it was just a typo.

According to Pseudodictionary at http://www.pseudodictionary.com/word.php?id=3908, 'It means that something is really "hot" or "cool". It can also mean that someone is being serious.'

Although I have some idea of how Shizzle-speak works, I have no idea what words are being distorted in this phrase.

Georg thinks "off the hizzi fa shizzi" means "off the hook for sure." Prentiss Riddle wrote here; http://www.aprendizdetodo.com/chuckles/?item=20040213 about a poster in a video store which has Snoop Dog saying "rewizzle vidizzles foshizzle bizzles" which apparently means "rewind videos for sure bitches."

"hook". Yeah, that makes sense.

One of the joys of izzle is that it reduces English to nonsense remarkably quickly while still seeming intelligible and vice versa. "Shizzle" means both "sure" and "shit", for instance, but someone actually saying "Fo shizzle" is intelligble by context.
