*Boody-ism*

SCENE: Mall shop specializing in eastern religious items and the like. Teenage girl-to-girl conversation between two browsing the shop; volume high enough to impress the two teenage boys pretending to browse an aisle nearby.

Girl 01 (talking on cellphone but also talking to her friend shopping with her; she points to a carved mahoghany sculpture of a Chinese dragon):
"I would not touch that rat with my hannnds."

Girl 02
"Uhhhhhhhhh-huhnn. People brang that stuff into they house and wonder why thangs don't be workin' out for them."

Girl 01
"Mmmmmmm-hm. You cain't just brang all this stuff into your house. It's all, like, a different religion and stuff, like what, you know... boody-ism..."

Girl 02
"That's right, you cain't have all this stuff from all over like from different... different... different origins, you know what I mean!"

Girl 01
"That is right..."
