Current teen slang terms.

Bussin

"Originating from African American Vernacular English (AAVE), “bussin” is a term that denotes something as exceptionally good, flavorful, or impressive."
 
Oh.... '100%' = I fully agree.
 
...CURRENT.

They just won't talk like that around you; around their friends they'll use their "language" in order to fit in.

My daughter is 13, doesn't use any of the slang around me or my wife, but when I listen to her talk with her friends, she sounds like that chick in the Viva La Dirt League video posted earlier.
except I haver heard my kid tell someone else's kid that every time they say 'bruh' the whole room gets collectively dumber, so I am feeling ok about things :laughing:
 
Wrong. It's a street term from the Crips. It's short for "cap yo ass". As in, you lie to me, I'm a cap yo ass. I figured someone that grew up on the streets would know that one.
Not wrong. Two different ways to say it.
"pop a cap in yo ass" = shoot you
"cappin on yo ass" = making fun of you

cap vs cap on.
 
I told this kid working for me something about what he had to do.
He replied "bet". I took it as a challenge. :laughing: Turns out, he wasn't betting me if he was going to do the task or not.:homer::laughing:
That's hilarious. You should have pulled out a twenty and slapped it on the table with a "no cap, bitch, let's go, you don't want the smoke"
 
Which one are you? Been curious of your ethnicity by your career path and where your jobs are.

I'm white motherfucker.:flipoff2: English, Irish, Scottish and Italian. Ya, I got a little dick.:flipoff2:

Fun Fact:
There are only a handful of black commercial divers in the world. I'm talking about oil field divers. It's a small community and I know of 2.
 
When I hear adults trying to use all the yoot's hip lingo (and not just to embarrass the shit out of their own kids) I assume that adult probably shouldn't be within (some legally defined distance) of a school.
 
yeah whats up with the curly ass mop tops with “blow out fades”

My main concern, and why I make my kids speak normal around the house, is so that they're actually able to function as they get into the workforce. I've seen so many people/kids that can't turn off the ghetto speak that nobody ever takes them seriously. My nephew, for example. He's not capable of having a professional conversation because he simply doesn't know. Nobody has ever slapped him and made him speak well.

It's taken years, but I've got my whole department using "sketchy", and "gnarly" in everyday meetings. We've got a couple of young dudes consistently using "fire" and "yolo". I don't take them seriously when they say yolo. :laughing:

Yea I mean that happens for fun... But generally interviews and promotion meetings aren't the time nor the place.

There's a whole lot of kids in for a rude awakening as they get older.

I feel sorry for my daughter. She teaches 5th grade. Every year, new kids and new words.

Iv e heard our account rep for a very large marketing firm speak.
It's atrocious.
If you say the word "fam" to your customer you should be fired.
Her vocabulary is completely unacceptable in a professional environment, but apparently that's my whiteness showing and that's racist.
