I recently moved back to Houston and am not in the loop (so to speak). What is the origin of this terminology?

Lots of people call it H-Town.
Slur it a little and it is HTine.

i believe yao bling said it is how one pronounces "h-town" when they are wearing their decorative mouth grill.
A site-em:
i think i saw Bling (facepainted and mohawked) on the news last night lamenting about Ming's untimely injury.

Semi-serious reply: the first time I can recall hearing h-town/h-tine would be 1997 on Lil Keke's track Its Going Down.
He says down and h-town like dine and tine.
I don't really care what the local rap peanut gallery has to say, that's the first time I recall hearing it.

Before the battle of San Jacinto, it is reported that Santa Anna sent a note to Sam Houston saying "your tine is done." Historians debate on whether he meant "time" or "tine."

A good example of a Slim Thug verse where the accent comes through. Go to the 0:36 mark.

H-Tahn would probably be more accurate but that looks slightly tarded. Live a Vietnamese rap name.
Lil Keke and Screw were prob the first I recall noticing it from, but it's very obvious with Slim Thug.
I love that this thread was started by an old white guy who ended up moving to the Caribbean to retire and live off his boat.

This was helpful. I've been reading it as "teen" instead of "tine (long I)"
seriously?
That give the "tine" weather/traffic/sports girls thread a whole new meaning

Spent most of my life in this tine, but I guess I'm just not very thoed. That's right, I urban dic'd that word, too. Still not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing.
