I have an easier one.... now that Jbirch had provided part of the translation...

| Probably not Canadian slang at all, but I want to play to... No Americans please, this is for the snowmen... (and snow women  )
I decided it was time to go regulate my crew so I got fly, slapped in some grillz, grabbed my pimp stick and slid into my blinged whip with a trophy on each arm. I was ridin dirty, but I had no fear cause I'm a legit player.

It was time I spent time with my friends, so I dressed up, got in my car with a girl on each arm....
I admit a good chunk I don't understood. I suspect it has to do with my age rather than being Canadian. So if Inq can provide a complete translation without any aid from others or google. I will accept that perhaps I don't know American as well as I thought. | |

Inq is at somewhat of a disadvantage though, being a desert dweller. I have to think that he does not have many neighbors that use the sort of lexicon mentioned above...

And yes I hate that I am using him to reference my own disadvantage at being an over 40 Canadian without kids. | |

| I think I'll have to disqualify myself. This language is very close to Northern Michigan speak.
