I never really tried to, but I was thinking about

"That's how I fry my fish!" as in "That's how I do it/that's how I get down"

Never committed to it though.

I used to work in a home for at-risk teens. There was this one kid Greg, about 14, he was trying so hard to get "Flea" over.

I gave the little dude credit because instead of just following a trend he tried getting his term over. "Flea" was just another term for fresh or fly. So when he`d get dressed up he'd say "I`m looking flea!"

another thing I used to say was 'oink'

basically a euphemism for fukk, like..

"yo would you OINK that?"

shyt actually caught on for a minute with my boys because of the novelty alone but that shyt fell off with the quickness. I tried to keep it going but was soon hit with the :rudy:

ripe - describing something that is at its best, a good situation or in good shape

"That chick booty lookin ripe right now."

"Just got paid this week so it'll be ripe if we go out this weekend."

Never actually made up a word that caught on but I frequently use the word "myth" and that shyt has spread amongst my boys (and now girls) pretty quick.

"fukk me that goal was a myth"
"Fam, last night was a myth"
"fukk that, this weather is a myth"

*Ending of Inception* :ohhh: Myth.

Nice alternative to "epic." :obama:

I didn't invent the phrase obviously, but I started saying no homo to every applicable situation. :troll:

No one in my group of friends really used it, but it caught on to the point that a few of my friends have said it to gay dudes on accident :pachaha::whoo:

Sometimes I like to go back and use white people slang that they don't use anymore, like they do to us. It never works :smh:



This thread is tubular to the max, though :ehh:

80's valley girl slang is the GOAT :lawd:



peep the bible of this shyt

Crispness
Back in 7th grade we also used to call for example a six pack of beers ''assignment 6 b'', b obv standing for beer. So when we discussed what drinks we were getting for the night or whatever, all we had to say was the assignment number x and the letter would stand for whatever the drink was (cider, vodka etc.). Easy game my nikkas, EZ GAME.

Ayo...I kinda like this, cuzz...

This reminds me of one I had that hit. "101"

If a person is on some chit and they only know a little bit about it or are a beginner, they're "101". It's what others might call "Green".

I was using the word "dude" as opposed to "man" or "nikka" or "cuz" during the early 2000s....I felt I could reinvent it for black folks...... It flopped bad b :to:
