When did black people started saying “for sure” and “cringe?”

[get these nets]

Old man yelling at the clouds in this piece. I get they’re just rephrasings of “corny” and “fo sho” but I’ve been hearing them both more frequently in passing.

For sure? Gag me with a spoon

Ive heard "for sure" among black people for well over a decade.


The acquisition of "cringe" is a recent phenomenon. It used to be something nerdy whites said to each other online.

Then black boys starting to hang with the nerdy white boys online.. It all adds up if people had eyes to see.

Fo sho? Did some fool actually ask when did Black people start saying that? I am going to go with the 1960s or 1970s. In 1980s they started saying fo shizzle

The question is when did White people start saying it and ruin it?

Fo sho came out ever since this dude came out

Cringe is some reddit cac humor that has made it to the mainstream.

It was out way before him. That is some Southern Black people stuff that Black people everywhere was using. My grandmother and her older sister used to say that.
