Im glad I wasn't the only one who went there.
Gazizza has become the standard greeting in my circle of friends.
Anyone else glad that the word ill or illin didn't catch on in the late 90s or early 2000?
Yo that's illin.

Tight will never die.

...uh, wait, that sounds weird.
I was saying this in grade 6 so I guess around 2006 and 2007. It feels so late though.
Shit was tight.
Nobody but Snoop ever said that shizzle shit. It went straight from his mouth to White people's 'cool' sayings box.
Black people of era
How do you deal with white people mockingly over exaggerating slang? It's easy enough to threaten them when it's one on one but when you're in a group/at work it's so easy for everyone to consider you the bad guy for calling me out.
Tangent but I remember finding this uncomfortable when I was a kid watching those Disney shows. At some point you'd have a character do something culturally black but do it in such a bad way it comes across as costume-less blackface

Seeing centrists and right wingers co-opt "woke" as a pejorative for people who are anti-bigotry was a trip
I mean, it's just AAVE being appropriated by the mainstream (read: white people) and injected into pop culture.
It's sad that Newsradio did not have a longer life in syndication. Nobody under the age of 30 is going to understand when you greet them with "Gazizza!"
I thought about it more and everyone at my middle school was saying "tight", which was in 1999. So that shit survived til the mid-2000s. Weird.
is this about Patrick Klepek
this is probably Doggy Fizzle Televizzle's fault tbh
So what's the consensus on ICP saying "my ninja" instead of "my nigga?"
They're not using the word "nigga"...but they totally are. Right?
How does that work exactly?

I tend to avoid slang, because I know I'm not cool.
Also I feel like using words like this might be appropriation. Even if it wasn't, it just isn't my personality to talk like this.

I think I killed "who bitch this is" and "whose mans is this" among my friends group for the foreseeable future, used it way too much lmao
Was that ever a hip thing to say though? I don't know one way or the other, it just doesn't seem like that should ever have been a hip thing to say.
...........
jesus
Just ignore they corny asses is all I can do

I hope someone reached out to the young woman who made that up and gave her something while companies and celebrities ran with her shit to be "cool"
As an old white guy, I avoid slang but I picked up ham from here and have used it now and then. Sue me.
The attitude that slang belongs to only to certain people is hella annoying, btw.
