This is a blog about urban American slang and colloquial expressions. Some of the examples posted might seem to be grammatically wrong but I tried to make them sound like real people talking on the streets. So, some of the entries here are just for informal conversation.I may also post some unusual words or even expressions that usually don't appear in standard dictionaries. Entries accompany pictures to help you remember what words and expressions mean.

MOOT
“Moot” is a very old word related to “meeting,” specifically a meeting where serious matters are discussed. Oddly enough, a moot point can be a point worth discussing at a meeting (or in court)—an unresolved question—or it can be the opposite: a point already settled and not worth discussing further. At any rate, “mute point” is simply wrong, as is the less common “mood point.”

“This is How We Do” is a recently released song by Katy Perry. The chorus “this is how we do”, which is also a commonly used phrase, essentially it literally means “this is how we live” or “this is how we do it“. In this song Katy sings about the interesting things she does and how she lives, and is essentially letting people know “this is how we do things”. It's not much used as slang but a daily expression.
