Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Trying to find out the origin of the term. I did learn the origin of the word Jalopy (named after Jalopa, Mexico). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 the term "It's a doozy" comes from Duesenberg--the most powerful US car in the 30's (265hp supercharged) Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 29, 2003 Share Posted May 29, 2003 Overheard once on the 4500 block of West Oakland in urban St. Louis: "DAMN but that's a madass phat hoopdy he just rolled up in! Where'd that motherf*cker buy *that*? Those dubs be CLEAN." And that's the censored version. hoopdy = cool, not cool, ghetto-ish, not-ghetto-ish, any number of things, but they all apply to somebody's "phat" ride. mike, methinks you might need to spend more time in the ghetto. But then, don't we all Mad skillz, yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 ....in these parts(Milwaukee/Chicago metro areas) a "hoopdee" refers to a $50 car. A real piece of shit. Definitely not fly at all. No self respectin b17ch would set her a$z in one. The polar opposite of a Lincoln Navigator with 22 inch wheels. Started in the African American vernacular but has since been adopted by us Euro-Americans, usually to describe our work rides. Behold the quintessential hoopdee. The 1975 Buick Electra 225 or "deuce". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Anonymous Posted May 30, 2003 Share Posted May 30, 2003 Ditto. Mike and I in Ohio and Indiana (respectively) don't keep up on things quite as well as those of you of the larger cities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
