Do You Consider It Appropriation When Dudes Use Slang From Other Cities And Regions?

[King Musa]

I'm talking about in the U.S only. Like here in South Florida, they used the slang word "Shone" to describe what nikkas call "Hoes" and "Thots" nowadays. That slang word was tied down to just Florida for a little while until nikkas just stopped using it at all but, then me and my folks went on Vacation to North Carolina one year and I heard some young brehs using that term religiously, and at the time I was like...."Ya'll nikkas is some followers" "How ya'll nikkas know about that?" But, now I'm just like....""

So, I just have to ask, what's ya'll stance on this?....Me personally, it's no big deal but, it's crazy.



@Tony_Bromo @flea Ya'll remember when they used to call promiscuous women Shones back in South Florida, right?

Thanks to the internet and globalization anyone from anywhere can access anything. So say goodbye to "regional" slang.

Somewhere in the world some Polish kids are calling each other "whoadie".

The word "Lit" has run it's course, That word been around since 08

Not here to argue semantics breh. But, I'll change the title to suit a more reasonable narrative.

I do remember and I'm sure there's cats out here that still use it. What you know about "gooking" though? I used to love that word. Ima go real old school south Florida and start calling people "coach" again

Yeah, I remember when nikkas use to stay using the phrase "gooking" whenever dudes was acting out. And when they use to call nikkas "green" and "flaw" whenever dudes did things that ain't sit right with them. Classic.

Thots and ratchets are a normal thing now.
