Top 10 Global Youthspeak words

I just read this. It once again proves I'm not with it! Is "with it" passe? Is "passe" passe?

The Top Ten Global YouthSpeak Words:

1. Crunk: A Southern variation of hip hop music; also meaning fun or amped.

2. Mang: Variation of man, as in "S'up, mang?"

3. A'ight: All Right, "That girl is nice, she's a'ight"

4. Mad: A lot; "She has mad money"

5. Props: Cheers, as in "He gets mad props!"

6. Bizznizzle: This term for" business" is part of the Snoop Dogg/Sean John-inspired lexicon, as in "None of your bizznizzle!'

7. Fully: In Australia an intensive. as in 'fully sick'.

8. Fundoo: In India, Hindi for cool

9. Brill! From the UK, the shortened form of brilliant!

10. "s'up": Another in an apparently endless number of Whazzup? permutations.
