    Perhaps I should clarify... My response wasn't pointed directly at Mike, just a question in general...

    I wish I had "homes" tattooed across my shoulder blades: Dude, sweet ... homes.

    I only spell it when I speak online or through texts, and I do whip out the homes every once in a while.

    Homes is short for homeboy. What is holmes short for? holmesboy?

    I'da swore it was "Holmes" on the Eastside in Riverside as a teenager, but now it has distinctly become "Homes."

    And I just recently found out that, unlike the late '70s-early '80s, it is not "Ess-ay," but "Esse."

    I always went with home-skillet, because I thought those were tasty.

    Oh, and can someone explain what the fuck happened here? My brain hurts.

    I call my best friend home-skillet, and he calls me home-slice; and we shorten it to skillet and slice. But we're pretty fucking cool people, so we can pull it off for 15-plus years. Not many can.

    I stick with 'G'... as in 'What up, G?'

    That's easy to spell...
