Maybe the Daily News will use NIGGA! on their Front Page, Too

We got Milennials ruling the world.

They don't know a racial slur when they use it as a headline.

Oh, they'll insist you can't even say B*TCH anymore because that's SO offensive. But...

Some bimbo B*TCH wears a skimpy outfit, and the Daily News shouts YOWZA!

Nobody knows the origin of that bit of slang?

Apparently not. A quick check of the various "Answer" and "urban dictionary" websites fails to give the correct origin of that odd word "YOWZA."

It can be found in, among other things, a Shel Silverstein song.

In "Yowzah," he sings:

"Well it wasn't too very long ago you know some folks walked with a hi-dee-ho
And other folks walked around kind of low
Sayin' Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss
It was ashes to ashes and dust to dust and they didn't believe in makin' a fuss
So they quietly moved to the back of the bus
They'd just say Yowzah and Sho nuff and Yassuh boss

Shel pointed out that eventually blacks got tired of saying "Yowzah" or "Yassuh" or other variations of "Yes, sir." Ironic, then, to find that the word has actually become more popular since the civil rights 60's when he sang his protest song.

The word lives on as an expression of wide-eyed delight. Is she hot?" "Yes, SIR" or simply, "YOWZA!"

Bandleader Harry Richman, many decades ago, used to cry out "Yes, SIR!" as a catch-phrase. He lisped, so it was more like "Yeth THAH!"

Today the PC police find any excuse to ban words or asterisk them. No B*TCH. No "F-bomb." But Yowza is ok??

Where are the Niggas to protest this? Nowhere.

I'm sure 9 of 10 black Millennials don't know that using "Yowza" demeans their grandparents or great-grandparents.

Up through the 50's in America (before "Amos and Andy" was thrown off TV), it was still common to put down blacks by mockingly using stereotype phrases like "I'ze Regusted" or "Feet do yo' stuff." It took the 60's, Malcolm X and Dr. King to end this crap. But then in the 70's and 80's people once again found liberation in black stereotype (see "Sanford and Son" or Flip Wilson) and Richard Pryor became a huge star by using "Nigger" constantly on stage.

There's a thin line between being offensive and being humorous when someone not of the ethnic group says "Oy vey" or "Yumpin' Yiminee" or "Dios mio" or "Begorrah!" or "Cor Blimey."

Gig Young cried out "Yowza! Yowza! Yowza!" as the mc in "They Shoot Horses Don't They." But that film was set in The Depression, when Jolson and minstrels were still very popular. Even Laurel & Hardy, the Marx Brothers and the Three Stooges did blackface jokes in the 30's.

I say toss "YOWZA." That is, if you're gonna asterisk B*TCH and use the term "the N word."

Yep. Stop using YOWZA whether some Nigga Bitch understands it's a SNAP or not.
