Anonymous said...: Vox (slang): to predictably say over and over the same wrong thing.

Examples:

"Man, please stop voxing us about Global Warming."

"Dude, that guy in the Guy Fawkes mask keeps voxing about the Jews and 9-11."

"Baby, I'm not voxing ya -- I won't come in your mouth, I swear."; 7/13/14, 11:38 AM
Kevin said...: Yes, you are right, Crack. The avoidance of responsibility for one's self and one's path through life from birth to death, the eternal shirking of duty and adulthood, and the devotion of life to infantile sensory self-stimulation at the cost of all other values, all starts with black folks.

It's like blanking out for a second.
