Concur.

Whenever I see people use the cutsy slang terms, I always picture some 14 yo wannabe trying way too hard to sound cool & clever. I put it the same category as "Branjolina" or "Ben-jen" or other useless pop culture bastardization of the English language.
It's not as though "shottie" is a huge step forward over "shotgun." Same 2 syllables, only one sounds lame.

Love it.
