Ain’t really slang but I’ll never forgive what white people did to the word “woke”. Took a powerful/deep meaning word of context and shriveled it down to some alt right buzz word
Not only that used it against us.
Anybody else weirded out when black slang becomes mainstream? nowadays its faster than usual..

It’s right there on social media for these folks to take. And they’re going to take it and try to use it to sell shyt back to us. You’re giving them the game for free and wonder how they’re winning with it.

not only did /search?q=#they overuse “chile” “crash out” “twin” “ahh” “woke” “gyat” “sybau” “unc” and ballroom lingo, they used it incorrectly

the crashout thing irritates me so much like no you are not a crash out you are not crashing out shut up. And how /search?q=#they managed to give woke a negative connotation is beyond me

@P4TRONS4INT
/search?q=#THEY know it’s not for them so they use it incorrectly on purpose. And the ones who don’t do it intentionally are uneducated but that’s not an excuse because it’s been brought up numerous times during Covid. Younger Gen Z especially are evil and do not gaf.
