A website parodying the search engine Google has given a 'gangsta' style makeover to Gloucestershire.
The Gizoogle website turnes everything online into street slang.
It was launched in 2005 by American John Beatty but it regularly resurges on social networking sites like Twitter.
It has also just released an app for the iPhone.
Users simply type in a search term into the 'Google' style box on the homepage and hits"Gizoogle Dis Shiznit" and sit back to enjoy the 'rapper' style translations.
Here's some of the more amusing Gloucestershire 'Gizoogles':
