Southerners, Why do you call another man "Shawty"?

[904]

Thats an ATL thing.. I know nothing of this term round here

 

[Money Be Green]

That's that 5 percenter shyt breh

What is the difference between 5% & them noi nikkas?

 

[RenAi!]

I'm from NY and shawty is derived from Shorty, a term we used to call our women. I find it gay as hell to call another man Shawty. Whats wrong with you southern folk?

Just last week on here some of you ny doodes were talking about how everyone should know that a man blowing a dude is slang for stabbing them in the face or some shyt.

Don't nikkaz call each other "Papi" and "Daddy" in NYC?

I'm from the bumpkin part of the south but I have lived in Atlanta since 03. I don't know where it came from but I have never said it. It always sounded dumb to me. However its just a regional thing. We say shawty, NY say son. We say 12 in reference to the cops, NY say 5-0.,

[GoFlipAPack]

There are aloooooooot of up top nikkas who call each other daddy.

Just sayin. Another dumbass nickname up top nikkas call each other is "God"

^^^^Thats not a nickname. There is a meaning behind it and if you dont know what it is then it looks like your the idiot. Every so called hip hop fan should know the meaning behind that

"Shawty" was pretty much dead/dying there even before "Welcome to Atlanta" came out.

TS you ever even been to Atl? That shawty shyt is played out and is rarely used these days.
