Week 13 is upon us.
Yes, we said Week THIRTEEN.
It doesn’t take an Enforcer to know that the 13th of anything is a time to watch.your.back.
Because it’s the 13th Word Up, Yo!, we Dons decided to go Donnie Brasco on your derriere.
But don’t be worried about the WOW!; it’s both fun and easy to use, even for those not familiar with it.
It’s the meeting a couple of guys carrying crowbars and shivs in a dark alley you should fear.
Before we get to the new Word of the Week, we need to make a Man.
This week’s winner was clear. With her clash of Mel Gibson, Paris Hilton, Bret Michaels, The Next Food Network Star and her mom, we’d like to congratulate Conflicted Mean Girl!
In the eyes of the Nerd Mafia, you are now a Made Man!
Please contact one of the Dons to received your code for the official Nerd Mafia button.
Good luck to all! Any maybe next week, you’ll be “made”, too!
Please follow the link for the rules of Word Up YO!
For the new WOW!, please read below.

Fugazi

I need to know how to pronounce this word if I’m going to use it properly. Is FOO-gazi? FUG-azi? fu-GA-zi? I like to use my WOW during speaking conversation as well.
I have to say…my husband regularly uses this word. I’m going to seek his advice…
I have never even heard of that word before. Gasp.
you know … you Word UP YO ladies just CRACK ME UP!! I wait with great anticipation for your weekly word – and I am never disappointed. Throughout the week, I read many of the posts highlighting your words – again, NEVER disappointed. The only disappoint I have is within my own rotten stinkin’ brain because I can’t come up with a single post for your weekly words. AUGH!!! LOVE “Fugazi!”
This outta be good. It sounds like that other word I occasionally use when being tortured by my son -like just 2 minutes ago when I told him no Dr.Pepper for breakfast
What a great word choice.
My hubs also uses the word. It def rolls off the tongue!
FUGAZI! I love it!!!
It’s one of those words you just wanna yell in public for no other reason than it’s just so stinking fun to say.
“Fugazi!!!”
I never do that sort of thing, but may just have to now. Or get my husband to. He’s always doing that sort of thing anyway.
Saw Donnie Brasco and tons of other mafia movies in my time, but don’t recall ever hearing this word. I’ll do my best…. I have been a complete Word Up, Yo! slacker lately.
Oh Liz, this is such an exciting thing you have generated. I love that word! Or at least the implication of it anyway!
