Common Errors in English Usage Dictionary:
disrespect
The hip-hop subculture has revived the use
of “disrespect” as a verb.
In the meaning to have or show disrespect,
this usage has been long established,if unusual.
However, the new street meaning of the term,
ordinarily abbreviated to “dis,” is slightly
but significantly different:
to act disrespectfully,
or— more frequently—insultingly toward someone.
In some neighborhoods
“dissing” is defined as merely failing
toshow sufficient terror in the face of intimidation.
In those neighborhoods,
it is wise to know how the term is used;
but an applicant for a job
who complains about having been “disrespected” elsewhere
is likely to incur further disrespect . . . and no job.
Street slang has its uses,
but this is one instance that has not become generally accepted

Word History
'Dis': From Early Rap to Academic Journals
Featuring Spoonie Gee, the one MC who you can't deny
For several hundred years now, slang has been met with
an odd combination of fascination and disapprovalfrom the public,
no matter where it arises.
New terms pop up constantly;
some trail off quickly while others stand the test of time.
One such word, which started in the jargon of youth
but has traveled considerably ever since, is dis.
The word dis (occasionally spelled diss)
found itself widely explicated in the 1980s,
frequently glossed in newspapers in lists of slang
or in articles on the then-new phenomenon of rap music.
A 1988 compilation of “contemporary terms”
published in The Los Angeles Times
offered up “Dissed (to get) — to get put down, ‘disrespected.’”
In subsequent articles the word was
often defined as part of the story.
Dis had begun being used as a transitive verb
some time prior to the above citations;
the earliest citation found in The Oxford English Dictionary
references Spoonie Gee’s 1979 Spoonin’ Rap,
and spoken use would certainly have preceded this by a number of years.
The longer form of the word, disrespect, is not itself new,
with use dating back to the early 17th century.
Given that dis came from African-American vernacular use,
and was often found in the dialect of youth
(two areas which have frequently been overlooked in linguistic examination),
it is notable that we have mainstream writing
about the word as early as we do.
The word has had a meteoric rise,
moving within a few decades from highly regionalized to global use.
And although most dictionaries still label this word
as ‘slang’ or ‘informal,’
there is increasing evidence of it
beginning to be used outside of these confines.
Especially when compared to other new instances of slang from the 1980s (some other words defined in the aforementioned
LA Times article include heel-toe express, meaning “walking,”
and full hanks, meaning “nerds”),
dis is clearly a word that has demonstrated staying power.
Given its increasing breadth of use,
we may even see it lose its slang designation before long.
