I hope all of you have seen the masterpiece City of God. If not you should check it out. City of God is a housing project built in the 1960's that--in the early 80's--became one of the most dangerous places in Rio deJaneiro. The tale tells the stories of many characters whose lives sometimes intersect and how material possessions are the least of their worries. City of God is the story of survival. Growing up in a culture dictated by violence and run by street gangs, teenagers Acerola (Douglas Silva) and Laranjinha (DarlanCunha) have become close as brothers. With their eighteenth birthdays fast approaching, Laranjinha sets out to find the father he never met, while Acerola struggles to raise his own young son. But when they suddenly find themselves on opposite sides of a gang war, the lifelong friends are forced to confront a shocking secret from their shared past. Peep the trailer and cop the DVD, take a real look into the Favelas of Brazil. I been to these favelas, and it is dead real! There is no exaggeration in these films:

Here are a few terms we actively use in our blog. We want to make sure our readers understand our slang, it just makes the experience more enjoyable. OD- This term stands for "Over Dose". It means when something is crazy wild in a good way, or too extra in a bad way. Walking down the DC streets wearing Teva sandals, socks, and shorts in the winter time is OD! In the same respect, the new Mercedes Benz C63AMG is OD!
Dope- We use this quite a bit when talking about a product or movie, it's just another word for cool
Crack- Not as controversial as it sounds, we use "crack' to describe something that is just out of this world fresh. We may say something like: That new EF post is CRACK!!
Went In- When a rapper shows extreme lyrical ability in a verse or whole track.
Rastio Lyool- A close friend to the EF family. Originally from Africa Rastio migrated from Jamaica to Brooklyn, NY. He played a large role in the "eh doesn't affect me" movement of the 90's. Rastio is like Tommy off Martin, ya digg.
Fux With It- We use this when referencing something we really like. If your in Stussy or CmonWealth and you see a crack pair of kicks you'd say: "oh these are crack, I fux with them"!
Huff- use this when you talk about something WACK...Like if you see dude rocking some Kool-aid Reeboks, you'd say "damn, his shoe game is HUFF" you can also use the term to describe when you get carried. So if you're talking to a shorty, and you ask for her number, she looks you up and down, blinks 3 times and walks away...you got HUFFED!
Teleport - This converts a person or object into an energy pattern (a process called dematerialization), then "teleports" it to a target, where it is reconverted into matter (rematerialization)...in short it lets you read the full post
Takedownables - This is a new term DCBG created to describe dimes or beautiful women who are simply irresistible, and therefore must be taken down accordingly. Being a takedownable is the ultimate status and compliment, better than winning Ms. Universe or World's Sexiest Woman. Hope this helps you understand the lingo.
