You're either really old or really out of touch. Everyone under 35 who does not live in a cave knows this word. It is not local to LA, but all across the country.

Um.... like SWB, I grew up in Pennsylvania. I've probably only heard it once or twice. And if any of my friends said it, I would probably laugh at them. One of my friends moved to Atlanta and then came back using all this urban slang. It sounded quite fake and put on--like she was trying to be somebody cool, but she was failing miserably. I think slang just takes a long time to get to places in Pennsylvania that are off the beaten Philly-Pgh path... But I doubt we're the only state like that. I wouldn't bet on "shiznit" being a popular expression in North Dakota...
Or maybe we are just nerdy white guys who live in caves and edit wikipedia... Who knows...
Oh. Thanks! It's like how people in Scranton say "Heyna?" after a statement for affirmation, such as "It's a nice day today, heyna or no?" I like shiznit better though; it sounds more sophisticated than heyna. It's also like how folks in Ohio call SODA "pop." (Shudders!)
I voted for other: Baltimore. It's not on the list (sobbing). And why did I vote for Baltimore you ask???? Because I am a Baltimoron. Seriously though, if I had to pick from the list, it would be San Francisco or Boston. They got it all over the other ones by a mile. ( and also over two of the top three!!)
