Sooo...what's the point?

[Ultra Peanut]

I think the point is that she's an interminable bitch.

Shocking, I know, but mad props to Carolla nonetheless.

Mahalo.

Ha. You said "mad props".

[Ultra Peanut]

Don't you know I'm down with it? You're such a square, man.

[InChiefsHell]

Sounds like the dude gave out the wrong number and when she finally got in on the show he showboated by hanging up on her. Smells like a setup all the way.

[Cochise]

Uh, we already get links to every new page from crooks and liars posted by someone else.

Smells like a setup all the way.Her tone was arrogant and completely detestable from the start, acting like it was his fault it somehow took her an hour and a half to get the right number from her publicist. I applaud him for doing it, planned it or not.

At this point, I'm really not sure who is more insignificant, Coulter, or Corrolla without Jimmy Kimmel.

"You're really . . . bringing me over. . . dude."

Man that show really sucks without AC.

props

Where does the slang phrase mad props come from, and what exactly does it mean?
This two-word slang expression has its origin in Black English, specifically, in the hip-hop culture of young African Americans. In this particular phrase, mad is an adjective meaning 'many, much, plenty of', as in "mad publicity, mad dough, mad friends'. But it can also be an adverb meaning 'very, extremely', as in "mad cool, mad funny, mad scared'. This use of mad dates from the early 1990s, though the adverb madly (as in 'madly talented') is much older.

Though props has several slang senses, here it means 'proper or due respect; compliments, credit, admiration, or praise'. Since the term implies public recognition, it's usually used of a performer or other person in the public eye. For example, if a musician "gets (his) props," he's gained public recognition for his accomplishments; to "give him his props" is to give him the respect he deserves. However, in my opinion, successful people who have gotten their props should then "give props to their peeps," that is, they should (at least partially) credit their parents and friends.

According to Clarence Major's Juba to Jive: A Dictionary of Black American Slang, the Black English term props also refers to any form of support or protection. So your props can include your friends, your family, and even your switchblade.

Though props in the sense of 'proper respect' is obviously derived from the adjective "proper," the sense recorded in Clarence Major's dictionary overlaps with the standard English sense of 'support; mainstay'.

Written evidence for props goes back at least ten years. And the synonymous slang term propers, as recorded in Geneva Smitherman's Black Talk, is much older. Both these terms are still current slang, especially in verbal use and in alternative (non-mainstream) publications. Searching the archives of Internet chat rooms, I found propers sometimes misspelled as "proppers."

Written evidence for props goes back at least ten years.If its origins in "Black English" only go back ten years or so, then it didn't originate in "Black English." I first heard the phrase "give 'em their props," meaning the same thing as the post above indicates, when I was going to SMSU, and that was in 1985 and 1986. It seems like it was fairly new slang then, because we all started using it with alarming regularity, but it wasn't black people using it, it was white, suburbanite mallrats.

I'm not giving much sympathy to someone with an ego the size of Jupiter when they get knocked off their horse...

Don't get me wrong, Anne Coulter doesn't need defending, she is what she is. I'm just saying if it was a setup, then he's just as much of a showboating prick as she is.

People just love to hate Ann Coulter, so that's why this is so "cool".

Of course, I guess it worked for him. He's getting more run than he's had for the last three years combined.

Everything he's touched since Kimmel got his show has bombed. This was a setup so Carolla could get some publicity. It just happened to be Coulter.

Yea but I think that’s how she is normally. At least every interview I’ve seen of’er she sounds the same. :shrug:

Yea, we are talk’n ‘bout Adam Corrolla right?
Give’n that, I’d assume “act’n like a dick” to be expected.
Does the guy have any other shtick? :shrug:
