hmm... research into SLANG gives us:
(again, according to WEBSTER's, generally agreed upon as being the basic repository of english language and definition in the U.S.)
Main Entry: 1slang
Pronunciation: 'sla[ng]
Function: noun
Etymology: origin unknown
Date: 1756
1 : language peculiar to a particular group: as a : ARGOT b : JARGON 2
2 : an informal nonstandard vocabulary composed typically of coinages, arbitrarily changed words, and extravagant, forced, or facetious figures of speech
When we check "nonstandard" to see what they mean by that definition, we find:
Main Entry: non·stan·dard
Pronunciation: -'stan-d&rd
Function: adjective
Date: 1923
1 : not standard
2 : not conforming in pronunciation, grammatical construction, idiom, or word choice to the usage generally characteristic of educated native speakers of a language -- compare SUBSTANDARD
In conclusion, Mc Bourbon is either
A: NOT Educated
or
B: A Commie Pinko Bastard trying to corrode AMERICAN values and language by teaching improper, NONSTANDARD "slang" spelling to our nation's youth.
-edit- Then again, now that i think about it.. Webster's also added a definition for "Jiggy".. so maybe I shouldn't really trust it....
