I just make a record-scratch sound instead of say the word if it's in a song I'm singing. If people think that's lame then I'll live with that. I do NOT want to get comfortable saying that word; I'm the same shade as printer paper.
I had a friend get very comfortable with the phrase "yeaaahhh, ma nizzle" (substitute nizzle for the word it's code for, because I can confirm after using a perfectly acceptable word similar to snickering it will be removed and also I don't wanna type it).
One day, we're at a very rough pub in Digbeth. Lots of drinks had. We're all sat at a table outside, behind my friend are two very large, very black bouncers. One legit looked like the Hulk and capable of casually ripping my friend's head off. The other wasn't as muscled but still well-built and very tall. Then... my friend.... says the words. Everyone at the table kinda freezes and goes quiet. The very tall guy goes "What did he say?!" and the Hulk just shakes his head sadly and says "something stupid". Thank you Hulk for not ripping my friend's head off.
And that, boys and girls, is why you don't get comfortable saying words that aren't for you.
"My neighbor' works just fine.
I can assure you that if I saw the guy next door out on his patio, and called over, "What's up, my neighbor?" it would not "work just fine."
I like homie better for this reason. It fits contextually and it's also still slang, so it sounds a lot better.
Neighbors With Attitude want a kind word with you.

No way. They're Bartcore through and through.
