  The current hip-hop star Kanye West maintains that after a year or so, when a new term is no longer in style for black people, it's O.K. for others to pick it up.  "I think white people are allowed to say bling.  They are allowed to say old-skool black slang, like hottie and homie.  If you say a slang word too early, it's like you're trying to be black.  So as long as the slang is a little played out, you're all good."

  
  

  Didn’t know that, huh?
