Yo

**Mike** · 01-05-2008, 10:09 PM

The word yo is not a word to me.

M-W says it is: used especially to call attention, to indicate attentiveness, or to express affirmation

The word makes me mad and i think it should be banned. To me it is a gang word and i do not use it. No one should use it. It is an incorrect word that people have over the years used it for gang terms.

Ex. Yo bro, have you seen my ride yo?
Yo, man thats a sweet ride you got there.
I don't got enough money to get that ride yo.
Haha bro, ill bet you never will got that money...

And that makes me think, WHAT IN THE HELL?

I do not like the word and probably no one else does.

well, what about yo-yo?
anyways i use it, as you could probably guess from my intro thread

**Mike** · 01-05-2008, 10:29 PM

i mean the word yo as a whole single word not a part of a word.

There should be an option for "I don't really care."

Lol, I like it.

Why do you hate it?

Unless you see some white guy walking down the street using it alot, than it kind of gets annoying.

i use it, but more of a joke than anything, if i ever found myself saying "yo" as i met my freind in a serious way, then i would rip out my voice box to be sure i never did it again

Yo sucks, it's for Hip Hop people, and we all hate hip hop.

Seriously, why use that word, it sounds stupid, just like "I am so cool that I can say yo!"

I use it sometimes just for fun though, and to make fun of others.

Also I sometiems say: "DAMM", and "youknowwhatimsayin?" and "thats whatimtalkinabout" Just like I'm some kinda wannabee black guy.

Lol, but I don't care, I know what I am and it's just for fun

I use It sometimes but rarely, but It's only as like a joke.

It annoys me when people use It and think they are sooo cool. What losers...

Emarian · 01-17-2008, 02:07 PM

I never use it...it's old and stupid. That simple.

**Berserker_Bob** · 01-17-2008, 03:33 PM

I use yo as a greeting a lot...Ex. Yo _____, what's up?
