Word of the day: RAPSCALLION

So gangsta

If you're anything like me, you probably think that a rapscallion is a green onion that can spit hot rhymes. WRONG! The word in fact means a rascal, scoundrel or rogue, terms that describe many a hip-hop artist . If a green onion were to pick up a microphone and drop some lyrics, he would thus indeed be a rapscallion and a rap scallion. While there has been no recorded case of a rhyming vegetable, history reminds us of 1996, when MC Honeydew freestyled against LL Cool J. Unfortunately, MC Honeydew lost and was subsequently cut up and eaten by the vicious crowd.
