Hey John,
Any idea where I can get a Booya kettle?


Booya is Ghetto Speak for a sawed off shotgun.

You clueless wonder!

The word Booya has several meanings:

* Booya is a simple meat stew that is cooked overnight, typically
in huge batches for public festivals.
* The Booya Tribe is a Samoan gangsta rap band. They also refer to
a "booya" as the noise made by a shotgun when it is fired.
* "Booya" is a catch-phrase (or, in this case, a catch-word)
popularized by the comic book superhero Cyborg and by Cosmo Kramer, a
character from the Seinfeld television sitcom. Christopher Letts, CNBC
Mad Money host James Cramer, SportsCenter news anchor Stuart Scott and
Ron Stoppable (from TV's Kim Possible, voiced by Will Friedle) have also
been known to use it.
* "Booya" is also commonly confused with the motivational chant
"HooHa" in the Marines.
* "Booyah" is a trademark for baits from the Booyah Bait Company.

Yes and?

"Pax Americana is a philosophy. Hardly an empire.
Making sure other people play nice and dont kill each other (and us)
off in job lots is hardly empire building, particularly when you give
them self determination under "play nice" rules.

Think of it as having your older brother knock the **** out of you
for torturing the cat." Gunner
