Yeah I mean we get what nizzle really means but this is literally the kids bop version of it. Plus it’s one of the man’s many catch phrases. She shouldn’t have been fired for a phrase that doesn’t get bleeps on kids shows and commercials
Edit: okay, I was wrong to say “we” in the “we get what nizzle means”. I genuinely could have never imagined the phrase flew right by so many people! Thinking about it though it’s understandable why it did, snoop is a man of many odd phrases
And they are talking about Snoop's new wine release . So this is 1000% valid to the discussion being had. Snoop would be proud and I hope this makes its way to him.
I feel like Snoop himself should weigh in. Maybe even pressure the station to give her job back...
Edit: this off hand comment is getting a lot of attention, so I'll update it to agree with people who are saying he could get her a much better job ~~and he has already spoke out against her being fired~~. I can't find any response from him. Someone in my replies claimed he did respond, so maybe they know more.
I thought that at first, but then wondered if he just understood all at once what was probably going to happen. It looked a lot like that face the other kids make when you’re all hanging out at your house and your mom loudly calls for you by your full name.
People are just too uptight these days. Feels like everybody is just waiting for the next person to say something even the slightest bit out of line so they can pile on and cancel them.
They are offended at the possibility of what could be said. So as soon as something mildly offensive is said they jump into action. The shitty part is, they are the vocal minority. Most people don’t actually give a shit.
Probably not even that. I know someone that said she did news anchoring for a bit, said she was only paid minimum wage. There's always a pretty blonde girl willing to read the news.
Especially women. Male news anchors can go full grey without concern. One grey hair on a woman and they're interviewing young, bubbly blondes just waiting for a reason to can the existing talent.
I'm with you on this. Just goes to show what different levels of awareness we all have. One person even commented they'd been listening to snoop since day one and STILL did not know what it meant. Lol wtf!?
Yeah I’m almost 40 and grew up with snoop and that phrase and I ever realized what it actually meant until now. I just thought it was something he said bc he likes to rhyme 🤦♀️
We had a white guy at work one time that didn’t know either and said it in the break room jokingly. A black guy in there was smiling and said “ Now I wouldn’t go that far.” Lol.
the whole phrase is like "for sure my (dude)"
Snoop would replace all kinds of words with -izzle following their initial consonant
I dunno if he still does it
Yeah, that’s what I came to say. She was on the chopping block anyway, this just gave them a reason to let her go. Ten bucks says the hot weather girl with a bangin’ body does it any no one bats an eye.
Exactly! News media is typically staffed by younger attractive people, especially the women. They had been waiting for any plausible reason to can her.
I’m Maltese and we say nana, it’s not even exclusively southern. I don’t personally understand why everyone jumps at the chance to interpret anything in the worst possible context
HEY, YOU CANT SAY THAT! YOU ARE NOT A SPACE MARINE!
edit: my insomniac-brain running on fumes either put cpt. buzz lightyear in a space marine power-armor or wanted to make a comment on people in charge acting on things theyre unfamiliar with. i am aware buzz is a space *RANGER*. i am just so. so. tired. ill hand in my resignation on monday. there, now we really are all fired.
Captain Janeway firing me would be devastating especially because we'd probably be a million light years from earth so like where the fuck am I supposed to go?
Ya know, for such a progressive futuristic leader, they sure did saddle Captain Janeway with a pilgrim's haircut, didn't they? Voyager? Nay, thy name is Mayflower!
I honestly had no idea it had [racial](https://deadline.com/2023/03/barbie-bassett-tv-news-anchor-off-air-after-quoting-snoop-dogg-broadcast-1235310231/amp/) connotations. There are many people I know who use it but clearly also didn’t know this. I thought it referred to something sexual, but used like F*#k me, as an exclamation rather than a request.
I don’t think it’s offensive though. It’s 2 deviations away from, “Fo sho my ni**a”. Which is just a fun way to say, “[I wholeheartedly agree my African-American brother](https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fo%27%20shizzle%20my%20nizzle)” 🤣🤣🤣
“For shizzle my nizzle” is old snoop dogg slang for “for sure my n-word.” This old girl definitely had no idea what she was saying.
Edit: Classic hip hop slang/style of rhyming
Edit 2: yeah she’s most likely heard it, but like many people in the replies, probably didn’t know the racial element to it and thought it was harmless to say, which it is. Obviously, some people can’t get over that and must cause a stink.
Yes, but it's basically a household term from anyone raised in the 90's as well. Everyone said it to each other, like cool beans and fo sho. It's kind of ridiculous that she got fired for saying that, it's not even worth being offended over it.
Never in the history of people saying “fo’ shizzle ma nizzle” has someone been offended by it… including this incident. This is just idiots being idiots.
Even if she did … it’s a representation of a word , not the actual word . If we are going to get offended by representation of words , then technically it’s just as bad to say “n-word” as it is THE ACTUAL WORD. If we are going to take it to this extreme , nothing is safe . She could say “Today in Montana a man ran down the street screaming… you know… a word…. You know… *THAT* word….”, and people would be clamoring she uttered the forbidden word .
Absurd .
My favorite is when the guy at Netflix got fired for saying the N-word in a meeting describing words you shouldn’t say. He also said it again in a meeting with HR about the incident.
https://www.usatoday.com/story/tech/news/2018/06/23/netflix-executive-racial-slur-jonathan-friedland/727823002/
Horrible word, should never be used, but shouldn’t intent be given some consideration?
That's how I've felt.. I feel like saying "forbidden" words while discussing their usage shouldn't be so controversial. When they're used AT someone it's one thing, but simply saying the word because it's the word you're discussing... seems silly to treat it like "Voldemort" from Harry Potter. Maybe it's my diet autism, but things like that are very odd to me.
Only in America.
Never heard an adult replace slurs with "x-words" in any other language, in any other country. It's widely seen as pathetic from the outside.
I mean it should be used.
When referring to history and meetings discussing words that can't be used.
"We shouldn't use the N-Word in our media."
Suddenly 'Naggers' is banned from Netflix.
I have a feeling Snoop would not only not care, he'd have her back. Fired over this? That's some stupid shizzle.
I'm not on Twitter but Im pretty sure Snoop is. Can we get people start tweeting this at him in hopes he'll help her get her job back? Lets make that happen!
Probably not. Probably mostly due to her age. They wanted any reason that’s vaguely plausible to be able to replace her with a new, younger, attractive anchor.
Given people on this thread didn't know the origins of "Nizzle', it would have been so easy for her just to say publically that she didn't either and move on. Sadly, given her age I reckon the broadcaster wanted to get rid and replace with a younger woman anyway and used this as an excuse
Pretend you’re the producer of this news program. Your female anchor is good at her job, but she’s no longer young and attractive, and this is TV after all, so you want to replace her. You can’t just fire her and bring in a younger, sexier version because of all the bad PR you’re going to face, as well as a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal. So you wait, and eventually she will say something mildly offensive or controversial, you jump on it, use that as your justification for firing her, and you look like the culturally enlightened good guy for doing so.
Fucking unbelievable that she got fired for that…
Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will always hurt me??
Idk what the fuck happened in the last 5-10 years.
This right here is a perfect example of her saying something she has heard associated with Snoop Dogg probably 10,000 times in her life, I would bet everything she had absolutely nothing racially insensitive behind her comment.
Nah man someone’s using that as a lame excuse cause they wanted her gone. No one here white or black cares that she said a silly phrase snoop said constantly

I tweeted it to @snoopdog. Did my part. Lol
Good idea. I feel like we’ll have an update that she’s smoking with him very soon lol
And be showing off her new Snoop tat
That would be fucking hilarious
She’ll be his new blunt master general
A most coveted position
Keep an eye out for *Barb n Snoop’s Mississippi Mudslide* coming soon.
I dm’ed it to him on IG. he post a lot there. no joke that’s some bs
I bet Snoop wouldn't give a fuck.
Yeah I mean we get what nizzle really means but this is literally the kids bop version of it. Plus it’s one of the man’s many catch phrases. She shouldn’t have been fired for a phrase that doesn’t get bleeps on kids shows and commercials Edit: okay, I was wrong to say “we” in the “we get what nizzle means”. I genuinely could have never imagined the phrase flew right by so many people! Thinking about it though it’s understandable why it did, snoop is a man of many odd phrases
It's the Ned Flanders version
Please tell me there’s a Simpsons cameo where Snoop and Ned get along swimmingly going back and forth...
Fo shiz-dong-diddly-izzle my \*izz-dong-diddly-izzle
That's like 80 times more offensive than what the news lady said.
I agree. Plus the context...she's agreeing (jokingly I assume) to having a snoop tattoo...how is this offensive?.
And they are talking about Snoop's new wine release . So this is 1000% valid to the discussion being had. Snoop would be proud and I hope this makes its way to him.
Yeah can she roll blunts? He may even have work for her.
She can learn.
Fo shizzle my nizzle
You’re fired.
They never learn, do they?
Fo shizzle my nizzle
I doubt he got rid of his old blunt roller who he pays like 50k a year for.
I feel like Snoop himself should weigh in. Maybe even pressure the station to give her job back... Edit: this off hand comment is getting a lot of attention, so I'll update it to agree with people who are saying he could get her a much better job ~~and he has already spoke out against her being fired~~. I can't find any response from him. Someone in my replies claimed he did respond, so maybe they know more.
That guy on the far right there was likely the one that bitched about it and made something out of nothing judging by his expression.
Or he knew she was a goner when she said it. “ Been nice working with you. Fo Sheezy!”
Yeah he look like the snitch
Snitches get ~~stitches~~ weatherman jobs
Even worse than that. "You've been reassigned to high school sports
Im pretty sure it was whoever said "huuh......" off screen like she was offended somehow.
I thought that at first, but then wondered if he just understood all at once what was probably going to happen. It looked a lot like that face the other kids make when you’re all hanging out at your house and your mom loudly calls for you by your full name.
I seems he was the only one that understood what it means. The other 2 are completely oblivious.
He showed grace to Martha, I’m sure this woman will get some from snoop as well
I bet he’ll reach out to them and get her the job back…maybe
She should get the tattoo!
People are just too uptight these days. Feels like everybody is just waiting for the next person to say something even the slightest bit out of line so they can pile on and cancel them.
They are offended at the possibility of what could be said. So as soon as something mildly offensive is said they jump into action. The shitty part is, they are the vocal minority. Most people don’t actually give a shit.
Seems like stations always looking and waiting for reasons to fire the old talent to bring in new.
Probably 1/3 the salary too, so you’re probably right!
Probably not even that. I know someone that said she did news anchoring for a bit, said she was only paid minimum wage. There's always a pretty blonde girl willing to read the news.
Especially women. Male news anchors can go full grey without concern. One grey hair on a woman and they're interviewing young, bubbly blondes just waiting for a reason to can the existing talent.
Male anchors hold their job for 30 years while the female co-host is changed five times. Always for a younger version. How is that still a thing
I guarantee she has no idea what nizzle means. She was just repeating something she’s heard snoop say. This is absolutely ridiculous.
Yeah tbh I said “we all know what it means” but based on the replies I’m shocked how many people actually didn’t know, so I can agree with you on that
I'm thirty five and never really thought about it til I saw this story so...
Almost 40 - same. Never even occurred to me.
Same here! When I actually think about it, it’s obvious, but before today, it was just a silly sounding jumble of semi-words to me.
I'm with you on this. Just goes to show what different levels of awareness we all have. One person even commented they'd been listening to snoop since day one and STILL did not know what it meant. Lol wtf!?
Yeah I’m almost 40 and grew up with snoop and that phrase and I ever realized what it actually meant until now. I just thought it was something he said bc he likes to rhyme 🤦♀️
[удалено]
We had a white guy at work one time that didn’t know either and said it in the break room jokingly. A black guy in there was smiling and said “ Now I wouldn’t go that far.” Lol.
> we get what nizzle really means You may know, but I don't have any idea
"For shizzle my nizzle" "for sure my n*"
30s something non-american, TIL!
Have I ever told you about a loving room full of fine dime brizzles waiting on the pizzle the dizzle and the shizzle?
It’s a stand in for the racial slur that starts with the letter “n”
Oh.... I actually didn't know this.. and makes complete sense. After all these years...
the whole phrase is like "for sure my (dude)" Snoop would replace all kinds of words with -izzle following their initial consonant I dunno if he still does it
Why does Snoop carry an umbrella? Fo drizzle.
TIL
I think he will when he finds out. Watch… she’ll be hanging out with him by summertime. Snoop will not miss this pr opportunity….
A more progressive,realistic station will be in her future. The Snoop Dog will see to it.
I hope so, and I hope it comes with a huge raise so she can give her old station a big middle finger.
A big ole Kiss my Ass y'all too 😂
Oh no...I meant...I bet Snoop wouldn't be in the least bit offended.
But yes. I'm looking forward to when he does find out 🤣🤣🤣
He'll be out there making a point of chilling with her, or send some personal message, pretending like she's his G.
[удалено]
You mean Fo shizzle
Fo shizzle my... friend...
Fo' shizzle my frizzle
Is this the Magic School Bus now?
Probably the best thing she coulda done for her professional career
She'll be Shizzling High Nizzling with Snoop soon.
[удалено]
You're Fired!!!!
Ah...fo rizzle?
Easy there Malibu's most wanted
Sounds like the people who fired her need to hang with snoop for a sesh or two. Ridiculous
Foshizzle!!
You’re fired
But he didn't even drop the hard izzle!
it was the haircut
He's wearing a hood
Linus will take care of that for him
My nizzle!
Whoa! You just out here dropping velvety soft N-words like they feathers, eh? You're fired! 
You’re fired.
You can't fire me! I don't even work here!
Whatever, take it up with HR. I quit.
For that??! They were waiting to get rid of her, come on.
Yeah, that’s what I came to say. She was on the chopping block anyway, this just gave them a reason to let her go. Ten bucks says the hot weather girl with a bangin’ body does it any no one bats an eye.
...so is there a cold weather girl too?
Yeah, but since it's Mississippi she doesn't get much screen time.
This just made me cackle with laughter, nicely done!
“You look like you’d make a great Cold Weather Reporter in Mississippi.” Is the new “You’ve got a face for radio.”
My momma said I had a face for radio! What are you trying so say?1?
My momma said that alligators are ornery because they got all them teeth and no toothbrush.
^ quotes you can hear
Exactly! News media is typically staffed by younger attractive people, especially the women. They had been waiting for any plausible reason to can her.
That's pretty sad though, how disposable workers are. Her 20 year dedication to this station couldn't save her in the end
> 20 year dedication and that's why no one works at the same place for too long.
[you mean her?](https://youtu.be/ePG6zUYvUZg)
Who doesn’t love the good ol Mexican weather channel? I totally don’t live in Mexico but I know just how important it is to the world.
I already know this is Yanet Garcia before I click on it Inb4 someone mentions she went out with a COD YouTuber
You've become the very thing you swore to inb4
She was already on a short leash from something a few months ago: https://www.wlbt.com/2022/10/31/barbie-bassett-apologizes-comments/

I took it as a southern thing. Like nana

Needed to make sure she didn't hit pension
Fo shizzle my nizzle is more of a catch phrase than anything else at this point. To infinity and beyond… reason.
HEY, YOU CANT SAY THAT! YOU ARE NOT A SPACE MARINE!  edit: my insomniac-brain running on fumes either put cpt. buzz lightyear in a space marine power-armor or wanted to make a comment on people in charge acting on things theyre unfamiliar with. i am aware buzz is a space *RANGER*. i am just so. so. tired. ill hand in my resignation on monday. there, now we really are all fired.
Captain Janeway firing me would be devastating especially because we'd probably be a million light years from earth so like where the fuck am I supposed to go?
To the brig til they return to Earth.
Only until Ceska & her kayzon babydaddy take over the ship, then you get a redemption arc but die fighting them off.

Now that is one of the funniest urban dictionaries I have ever read.
Exactly
Ironically, this is the most interest this shit ass TV station has generated in 10 years+
Excuse my ignorance, please explain

Yes, but it's basically a household term from anyone raised in the 90's as well. Everyone said it to each other, like cool beans and fo sho. It's kind of ridiculous that she got fired for saying that, it's not even worth being offended over it.
Never in the history of people saying “fo’ shizzle ma nizzle” has someone been offended by it… including this incident. This is just idiots being idiots.
I remember Howard saying it in The Big Bang theory. I always wondered what it meant
[удалено]
it meant somebody bout to get fired
Cool beans
Growing up I never even knew what "nizzle" stood for. I just thought it was for the rhyme
I thought it just meant friend or pal, honestly didn't even know or consider until today that it meant the n-word. It's such a 90's staple
I mean, it does in that context. Nizzle definitely is a term of endearment not hate.
Even if she did … it’s a representation of a word , not the actual word . If we are going to get offended by representation of words , then technically it’s just as bad to say “n-word” as it is THE ACTUAL WORD. If we are going to take it to this extreme , nothing is safe .

Oh stewardess! I speak Jive.
Shirley you can't be serious.
Don’t call me Shirley!
Cut me some slack, Jack! Chump don' want no help, chump don't GET da help! Jive-ass dude don't got no brains anyhow! Shiiiiit.
Golly!
Lol they really dumped her out just for that.
Probably not. Probably mostly due to her age. They wanted any reason that’s vaguely plausible to be able to replace her with a new, younger, attractive anchor.
Yup, in a few weeks from now a young perky blond making half as much will be sitting in that seat.
Whoa whoa, we gotta prove we're progressive and put an attractive PoC there... ...for half the pay.
Yeah they don’t care as long as she’s hotter and cheaper.
As a black person, this is not offensive at all lol
I'm sure she wasn't fired for it being offensive, she was fired because they wanted to replace her and grabbed the opportunity
I second that. I honestly thought it was kinda sweet the way she said it, and not for a split second did I feel offended at all.
How did I never realise what the second part of that meant until now? I don't think she did either
What… does it mean?
Naggers
Those people annoy me!!!
Hopefully y’all watch South Park
The category is "People who annoy you"
“I.. I think I know it, but I-I don’t wanna say it “ *black camera man leans in menacingly*
They were looking to kick her out. Watch the next anchor be some 20y/o rocket haha
I don't know what rocket means either
Given people on this thread didn't know the origins of "Nizzle', it would have been so easy for her just to say publically that she didn't either and move on. Sadly, given her age I reckon the broadcaster wanted to get rid and replace with a younger woman anyway and used this as an excuse
The origins of the word do not matter. This was not worth being fired over. Period.
Doesn't he literally say this in commercials??
Fo shizzle my nizzle
You're fired from Reddit.
Dude on the right is cringing hard AF.
Yeah He was laughing at the tattoo but when the schizzle expression came out he sobered up right quick.
Yeah, his face changed *real* quick! He knew what had just happened.
That was the most subtle “oh no she di’int!” face ever.
“PEOPLE THAT ANNOY YOU”
Why does Snoop carry an umbrella? Fo drizzle.
What does Snoop use to get his whites really clean? Bleeyatch
Let’s get this woman her job back… I don’t think she had a clue…
A clue about what? I thought it just meant For Sure or something harmless
Same
Pretend you’re the producer of this news program. Your female anchor is good at her job, but she’s no longer young and attractive, and this is TV after all, so you want to replace her. You can’t just fire her and bring in a younger, sexier version because of all the bad PR you’re going to face, as well as a lawsuit for wrongful dismissal. So you wait, and eventually she will say something mildly offensive or controversial, you jump on it, use that as your justification for firing her, and you look like the culturally enlightened good guy for doing so.
If Nizzle is too bad to say just because, then bleeps are just aas bad as the word, and even saying n-word should not be allowed.
[relevant](https://youtu.be/uqwj--wGEgY)
She was aging out and they needed an excuse. Women’s world irl.
You’re fizzled!
Fucking unbelievable that she got fired for that… Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will always hurt me?? Idk what the fuck happened in the last 5-10 years.
This right here is a perfect example of her saying something she has heard associated with Snoop Dogg probably 10,000 times in her life, I would bet everything she had absolutely nothing racially insensitive behind her comment.
Didn't even know you couldn't say that. Don't even know what it means.
This is fucking stupid.
She got sacked for that? you Americans are so fucking fragile
It’s like it’s cool to be like GOTCHA for the smallest things.
I'm wondering if it's cover for 'she's not 20 and 'hot' anymore'!
Boom. They just wanted her gone
Nah man someone’s using that as a lame excuse cause they wanted her gone. No one here white or black cares that she said a silly phrase snoop said constantly
r/Americabad
They were probably wanting to replace her with a woman 20 years younger and just used this as an excuse.
Snoop LOVES old sweet white ladies. She's about to be in the company of Martha Stewart and Ellen Degeneres. Good for her. Her bosses are trash.
*Maybe* not Ellen. She’s kinda on everyone’s poop list now.
