it probably is English. Havn't you checked the new dictionary lately. 'bling', 'dissed' etc. I think 'hoes' is coming next.

Merriam-Webster recognizes it, though they do consider it slang:
Main Entry: dis
Pronunciation: 'dis
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): dissed; dis·sing
Etymology: perhaps short for disrespect
Date: 1986
1 slang : to treat with disrespect or contempt : INSULT
2 slang : to find fault with : CRITICIZE
Used in a sentence:
Please refrain from dissing the original poster because you're anal-retentive about word usage.

dissed
Please use English
Dissed is English. It may be slang, but it's still English. Actually I prefer to call it American English.

I'll take "diss" over improper usage of "it's"/"its", "there"/"their"/"they're", "were"/"where"/"we're", "here"/"hear", and/or "couldn't care less" anyday. And these are English words with presumably long histories!
That said, lighten up a little. Slang can be fun.

I don't mind it.. the point was clear. This is not the King's english 101. Why don't you take your fight someplace else? This is not the proper place.
