Young Money's Nicki Minaj has introduced fans to her self-made "Nictionary," a guide to help provide definitions to new slang.
Hitting up Twitter, Minaj broke down a few meanings for followers.
“Per Nictionary – Vertical : a descriptive for easily surpassing your competitors. Sentence : ‘I’m too VERTICAL h*e!!!,'” she tweeted Tuesday (August 17) morning.
“Per Nictionary – wet wipe willy : Slang used 2 expound on “sh*tting” on a competitor. Sentence “I’m clearly wet wipe willy…h*e!!!'”
“lmao. must be 18 or older to purchase and/or abide by the nictionary. Parental advisory is advised.”
“so there! 2 new nictionary terms! no more bashing me claiming i abandoned the “ary”. Let’s call it that 4 short. and yes, i’m twisted.”
“Per Nictionary – Zolanski-itis : catching contact. Sentence : “fuk u tryna do n*gga? Gimme dat Zolanski-Itis? Fall off!”
“Per Nictionary – Muny : alternate term for money. Can only be spoken by bad b*tches. Under achievers need not apply. Log off.” (Nicki Minaj’s Twitter)
Aside from witty wordplay, Minaj is currently putting together her new album, Pink Friday.
“Things happen really quickly, and you should take a moment and absorb it,” she says in a Live Q&A with Billboard.com on Friday (Aug 6). “To be honest, the last year of my life, I can’t tell you where it began and ended, or what happened in between. I can’t remember dates, I just keep going. I didn’t realize things would move so quickly…Life is about growth and I don’t want to remain the same my whole life — I want to be able to change. I respect people that love ’07 Nicki, and I’m definitely going to give you some stuff on ‘Pink Friday,’ I won’t forget anybody. But I have to be true to me — I started seeing different things, going to different places, eating different things. It would be fraudulent to rap the same way and look the same way, because I’m not the same. Period.” (Singersroom)
Recently, Minaj said the overall debut has even surpassed her own expectations.
“The album is progressing miraculously, I would say,” Minaj said in an interview. “It’s coming out way better than I could even have imagined or dreamed or hoped for…It’s been very exciting to finally just make music that I love and not really having to incorporate myself on someone else’s record…I’ve been having a really great time…I have a record called ‘Right Through Me’ that I think will be a standout. It’s not gonna come right now. It’ll come closer to when the album drops, but it’s a really, really pretty song. Everyone’s gonna like it…It’s just really insightful but in a very conversational kind of way.” (MTV)
Earlier this month, Minaj announced the title of her new LP via an online broadcast.
The Young Money rapper has dubbed her debut album Pink Friday, she revealed to her fans via Ustream. The highly-anticipated project is set for release on November 23, the Tuesday before Black Friday in the U.S. That is traditionally the biggest shopping day of the year when Americans flock to stores to begin their Christmas shopping. “To carry on a great tradition of Black Friday, we are going to switch it up this year in honor of the Nicki Minaj album and call that day Pink Friday, and call my album Pink Friday,” Nicki announced in her British accent. She then signed off with her signature greeting. “It’s Barbie, b*tch!” (Rap-Up)
