DON'T. DIS. THE. EIGHTIES.


Quick grammatical note: "Dis" is NY slang for "disrespect". Disrespect is a noun, and therefore should not be used as a verb.

Disrespect is both a noun and a verb, being a derivation of the word respect, which is also a noun and a verb. Examples:

You showed that old man a great deal of disrespect.

I disrespected your position, and I am sorry.

See? It's awkward, but it does work. BTW, my dad was an English major in university.
