Okay okay..so by now maybe some of ya’ll will know that i reps, as Bleek would put it, New Yiddy. You may also be aware that it is New York that influences all the slang and styles out there (ooooooh, i know ima catch one for that!…where we at Reecie & Honorable?…East side ride or die. lmao….capo status)
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, regardless of where you’re from or what set/area/region/apartment complex/suburb/gentrified community, you represent, you have some form of vernacular that is special. So Friends of HM, rep yo slang and let the world know what to expect from your area. I think much of the NY slang is already known so I won’t drop it 1st. Anyone Nebreskans wanna go 1st? *chuckle*

Good Topic
Im originally from New Jersey (P-Field) but have been in Atlanta since ‘96, but just a couple that come to mind.
“Diddy”- Here, there, that, those..
ex:
Q:”Where is the store?”
A:”Right Diddy!”
“Dwight”- White person/people
ex: “Here comes Dwight”
“Friday the 13th”- Ugly human.
ex: “Look at the this big ‘ol Friday the 13th lookin ass nigga”
lol@Dibiase…I’ve never heard any of those slang terms.
LA has a lot of slang…unfortunately I’m probably not the best person to ask. Besides…if I told you all of my personal slang words…I’d have to come up with new ones to make my point on the sly lol.
lol @ Dwight…what’s the etymology of that?
ha shit that friday the 13th ish cracks me up dibiase
^From dealing with people at work or customers. At first it was “The White man” then “The White” then “Da White” then we just started saying it like someones name “Dwight”. So we would give the impression to white people or anybody really that we where talking about a man named Dwight, so we did’nt have to be covert about it lol.
wow son! covert ops shyt!
Miami is not that big on slang, but we have a couple.
