Subject: Misspelling of words
Written By: joeman on 05/04/10 at 6:57 am
Besides every other product ending with an "X", another thing that was popular in the 90s was the mispelling of words purposely. Though this was probably started in rap music, when gangster now meant gangsta. Most clothes lines that came out had the words "PHAT" in them and bands in the late 90s like KoRn was an obvious but 'cool' mispelling. Anyone noticed this trend?

Well, I just learned something new. Never really thought about the meaning before, glad I don't buy my daughter any Baby Phat clothes. ;D

lol. True, it does mean Pretty Hot and Tempting, but I know an overweight white guy that wore that shirt all the time and I thought he was trying to be ironic.

I think that's a back-ro-nym. a made up acronym for an existing word. like ADIDAS (All Day I Dream About Sex)
