Etymology/Folk Etymology and Black Americans(ADOS)

[Cadillac]

the development of words, and words that change in menaing is interesting in regards to Black americans given our history and what we do with words.

most popular examples of the changing of words is how we describe ourselves

from titles like Colored, Negro, Black, African American, ADOS/FBA etc

and on a more silly and juvenile note you got things like how nikkas described p*ssy

when i hear songs like this with the first line being about daz waking up out of some bomb ass "cock"

i always wondered why "cock" was used and was it common or was p*ssy the norm? nikkas just tried to be different?

Anyways what are some examples you guys can think off?

These Cacs calling anyone saying hi to a woman a simp.

'c00n' - which meant someone who was acting stereotypically black in a buffoonish way.

People today conflate it with "sellout" which was a different word meaning folks who would throw black people under the bus for financial gain.

These Cacs calling anyone saying hi to a woman a simp.

the oldest recorded use of simp unearthed thus far is actually old cac slang. the coli had a thread on this already

cacs have rediscovered simp not other Black people...

Simp is short for simpleton. A simpleton is a person who's lacking in common sense. I feel the word often is misused by people who don't understand the actual meaning of the word.

I may post on the coli on the etymology of "freak"/"freaky" and it's over a century old roots as far as back as the times of slavery in the US.

Accordong to my pioneering research it is connecting to the phrase "Freak of nature" in Black American descriptions of sexual dynamics of American slavery.

The phrase had persevered in Black American culture all the through Rick James "Super Freak" and Adina Howard Freak Like Me" and Maegan the Stallion "Big Ol Freak"
