Chrysler boss calls car award "the shizzle"

[Champ]

DETROIT (Reuters) - The head of DaimlerChrysler's Chrysler division has borrowed a phrase from rapper Snoop Dogg to thank Motor Trend magazine for naming the Chrysler 300 its 2005 "car of the year."

"Winning the Motor Trend Car of the Year award is huge for us," said Dieter Zetsche, Chrysler's president and chief executive.

"As Snoop Dogg would say, it's the shizzle," he added.

Shizzle is urban slang that can have many different meanings, according to Snoop Dogg himself. But it is mostly used in the phrase "fo' shizzle," as in "for real" or "for sure."

Zetsche's reference to Snoop Dogg, in his German-accented English, was not gratuitous.
