Has anyone else noticed the explosion in popularity of this term?
Everyone’s saying it.
I caught myself almost saying it once. “That how I … uh … function” is how it ended up coming out.
I don’t want to be a bandwagon “that’s how I roll” abuser.
But you have to have something to substitute for this usually self-depricating phrase.
That’s why am going back to “That’s my flava.”
Spread the word.
I’m going back to the popular phrase uttered by a former WWF superstar….I will let you figure out who it is.
“You don’t like me, bite me. You want some. Come get some.”
Hint: Not Big Boss Man, Macho Man/King Randy Savage, or Million Dollar Man Ted Dibiase (accompanied by Virgil).
Wolf,
That “You don’t like me, bite me” phrase is nothing like “how I roll” or “that’s my flava.”
“How I roll” and “that’s my flava” are both good-natured things. No one’s gonna get pissed no matter what you said preceding either your “flava” or “how you roll.”
Example:
“I like to bathe in a tub that’s been soaking in three bars of butter and shampoo my hair with Cap’n Crunch. That’s how I roll.”
You’ll never respond with “Mother Riffer Raffen Scribble Scrubble” a la Yosemite Sam. Maybe you’ll look at me weird for saying it. But you won’t take offense.
Whereas “You don’t like me, bite me. You want some. Come get some” isn’t quite as endearing.
By the way, I was gonna guess King Randy Savage, but you nixed it.
It has a “not quite appropriate yet for the 1985-93 era” feel to it.
Has to be somebody more recent.
Seems too cheesy for Stone Cold.
Whoops, I just cheated and Googled it. Rick Steiner. Nice.
Great Virgil reference by the way. Remember, though, that he became “Vincent” when he jumped to the NWO.
FUNB.
Once again, Stooks, you are correct.
If I had a flava, I guess it would be ashamed…
You could go with
“Thats How I Flow” or
“Thats How I Git R Done”
How about: Thats how I Sleek. Sounds kewl.
hey STOOKS…. lolz… i luv that name… hey just say’n hey… i listen to u every morning and i luv ur show… its gets me in a good mood everymorning… cause i have to get up at 6:00 everyday to go to skool at 7:35… well i g2g…

CDizzle,
I have one concern on one of your suggestions. We’ve been hating on “Get er done” for years. Even more overused than “how I roll.”
Wendy,
“That’s how I sleek” is pretty good. But is there any way we can come up with one that doesn’t have the phrase “That’s how I _____” as a prerequisite? It seems tough.
Sydney,
I wish I could respond in a way befitting your acronymsical ways (Hint: look up the word “acronym.” I think you’ll be plesantly surprised given how frightening “acronymsical” looks at first glance).
Thanks for all the comments, kids.
