Dawg: It's a pronunciation spelling of the word dog. If someone's "my dawg," he or she is my friend. If someone's a "dawg," he or she is promiscuous. I can also "dawg" something--If I'm hungry, I'll dawg my food, meaning that I'll eat a lot of it in a hurry. And in sports, you can "dawg" the other team. If you got beat 20 to nothing in a soccer game, you got dawged.

Aiight: That's just "all right." "How are you today?" "Aiight." It's a Southern American English pronounciation and isn't just limited to rappers or African Americans.

Dat: That. African Americans, Cajuns, Southerners, New Yorkers, and some others use it. The New Orleans Saints (an American football team in Cajun country) once had a slogan: Who dat say dey gone beat dem Saints? You see (or hear) 'dat' in Jamaican English, too.

Holla: This comes from "holler," which is a Southern and Appalachian American word used by both blacks and whites, and it means "to yell."

African American and Southern American English are closely related in vocabulary and pronunciation.
