So MTV premiered with Jersey Shore last night, despite all the Italian-American outrage over the blatant stereotyping that this show embodies (what, have they never watched Real World?). In case you missed it because you had better things to do than watch some guidos juice-up and do their hair and scream at each other - because hey you can see that every Friday night in Manhattan, amIright? - Fox News has put online a semi-definitive vocabulary list to translate the primal language of these young, hormone-infused kids into something even Palin-ites will be able to understand. For example:

Fist pumping – A hand motion utilized by Jersey Shore males to show enthusiasm, especially when dancing to house music.

Doggin’ you out – 1.) Looking at someone in a confrontational manner. 2.) Talking badly about someone.

Vibing – Being attracted to someone; flirting.

The list also clarifies what Ed Hardy clothing is, by saying "The more dragons, hearts, and crystals that embellish the item, the better." That's pretty much on-point, Fox News! Still, for a more comprehensive list of phrases used during this program, head over to Vulture, where they've got your back, yo.

I actually watched the show while working out at my gym. It was kinda hilarious. At least more entertaining then MTV's "The Ruins" (which was on afterwards)...
