Answer 2

Because they are too ignorant to say the correct words due to lack of...everything.

Try it, walk up to someone who says that and say, "Hello, can you read anything faster than 5 words per minute?"

Then sit back and laugh as they say, "whuttz dat? books be fur nurrddzz" <-- Notice the lack of capitalization with the sentence, I have found that the lack of grammar even leaks into their speech.

Origins- Yo= Too stoned to properly form the words.
Wazupp= Once again, too stoned.
Dawg= Being stoned drained the monetary supply and they are forced to live with the dogs, who are the one thing they see when they wake up in the gutter.
