So last weekend, we were all sitting around trying to think of the original sayings or phrases that we as a collective use. And one of them was "OOC" created by yours truly.
Well, to my unfortunate surprise, I stumbled upon this snippet from an interview w/ Mariah Carey about her new album: "Jay-Z said something to me that was really interesting, and I don’t even know if he really remembers this. He’s known me for a long time, and he’s like, “You need to use some of your phrases in your music.” I have my own little slang that I make up and say stupid stuff just for laughs. (On) the song “O.O.C.” — that’s a Swizz Beatz track — it means, “Out of control.” So me and my friends will say that to each other, like, “OK, you’re a little O.O.C. right now, tone it on down.” Da Brat, who’s a really good, close friend of mine since we worked on “Always Be My Baby” — we wrote the lyrics together, and it was so fun. By saying (sings), “I get so O.O.C. / So out of control, baby,” we could explain it. When somebody was helping me type up the lyrics, and they wrote “Out of Control” in parenthesis (by the song title), I was like, “Get rid of that. It’s ‘O.O.C.’! Let them figure it out! It’s not that tough! I say it in the next line!”"
ugh.
I've said it once, and i'm sure i'll say it again, but Mariah Carey ruins everything.

I say OOC all the time too, and thought I came up with it. But to tell you the truth I was super excited when I heard Mariah was coming out with a song called "OOC." She's sure to bust out something amazing and it's bound to be my new jam.
you invented OOC? i thought i did. or did i do OTT? anyway, i think i saw a track list of Mimi's new album a bit ago and noticed O.O.C. on it, and really hoped it wasn't what i thoght it was. oh well. i'm sure it'll be my new jam as well...
no, i invented it. you invented the cheap knock-off OTT.
i just remembered another original -- "it's called math", created by me when you could not add correctly ;)
