[edit] Wassup

Common slang but WP:ISNOT a dictionary and as this is a dicdef it should be deleted, unless some user can have a go at cleaning it up and making it a noteworthy article (since I am woefully ingnorant of such stuff) May the Force be with you!

• Keep and redirect to Budweiser (Anheuser-Busch), which subsequently SURELY needs some reference to the Budwiser "Wassup?" advertising campain, which is iconic at least in British culture. --BigBlueFish 13:06, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Merge Keep since expanded by Capitalistroadster. PJM 13:23, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I just noticed this entry had been deleted twice before and thus qualifies for speedy - for whatever that's worth at this point.
• Keep unqualified. It was popularised by songs such as "Wassup" which was a number 1 hit just 3 years ago in 2002. It is not merely a variation of What's up as it has greatly different significance. Saying that it is a variation is like suggesting that good day and g'day are the same. Culturally they are vastly different. 203.122.225.241 13:52, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Okay, sorry, it was 2001 and peaked at number 13. I guess my memory is a bit off. Was still a big hit though, and people for over a year were quoting it, saying "Wassup!". It was kind of like that "Who let the dogs out" song, that was quoted so much, especially the "who who who" bit. 203.122.225.241 17:33, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Have expanded the article referencing the Budweiser campaign and the hit songs from 2000. Capitalistroadster 16:58, 23 November 2005 (UTC)
• Wassssssssuuuup er, I mean, keep. BD2412 T 00:39, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as rewritten. The word has too much pop culture equity to be just a dicdef. 23skidoo 05:03, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
• Comment Multiple redirects from Wazzup, wasssuup etc.? Durova 06:55, 24 November 2005 (UTC)
