yo dawg

Maybe you've heard of Xibit and his show, Pimp My Ride, where he and his car shop crew remade run-down 1987 Ford Escorts into barely street-legal rolling ridiculousosities full of speakers, grills, and gaming devices, like this...

... and this.

When Xibit shows off the modifications to the car's owner, he starts most sentences with, "Yo dawg, I heard you like spoilers, so I put a spoiler on your spoiler."

My brother uses this expression in real life and calls it "yodawging". I spent the weekend trying to get the hang of it. So far this week I've used it twice.

1. My coworker mentioned her mom's upcoming Critter Festival where her family and friends cook "killed food" which usually entails relatively normal hunted food like venison and turkeys. But apparently there was a rodent on the table at one event.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like ground-up food so I ground up some ground hog and made you a burger."

2. My life-long friend, Lauren, and her husband treated me to dinner in their home. Reu grilled up some burgers which contained little bits of bacon and cheddar cheese. He asked me if I wanted anything on it.

"Yo dawg, I heard you like cheese, so I put cheese in your cheeseburger so you can eat cheese while you're eating cheese."

Now, get out there and Yo Dawg your friends.
