Presenting Overheard at EB Games, a feature wherein I quote a conversation I overheard while working at my part time job at EB Games. Sometimes people say something funny, sometimes people say something interesting, but most of the time, people say something stupid. You be the judge.
After calling on me numerous times with the attention grabbing and oh so eloquent, “YO!” I finally answer two gangsta’ kids (maybe in their late teens) looking for a sick game to play. I answered their questions but did not recommend any good games for them to take home as I had no intention or hope of having an engaging conversation with these two incredibly intelligent young adults. After fielding their inquisitive questions, I overheard their conversation:
L’Mo: Yo, Ima return Army of Two.
BigJ: Ye?
L’Mo: Ye. I beat it. Game’s sick, man. You can turn you gun gold and shit.
BigJ: Siiiiiiiiiiiiick.
Gangsta’ kids’ names are completely fictional. I’m probably not far off though.

Gangster kids are funny.
I had similar experiences working at PJ’s Pet Store.
Gangster kids would come in asking for the meanest and sickest fish and they would also always ask for the piranhas. They would use words like sick, boss, guy, chief. It always made my laugh. My manager and I started mocking these people by calling each other “yo chief boss guy” .
