JAWN
I fuckin hate this word
I hate when I hear people use it repeatedly
I hate it even worse when I hear white dudes abusing the word.
What the fuck
Isn't it time for a new one?

it's street drawl for "joint".
as in "a Spike Lee joint", not the kind you smoke.
and you know the way people from the south are said to speak with a "southern drawl," kinda drawling out the sound of certain letters or sounds? like
that except street.
"i seen dat movie, dat shit's da jawn!"
also kind of like, "ya herd?!" or "i ain't skerd!" or my favorite, "stronge" (pronounced stron-jay) for strong.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

Jawn is a Philly thing. All the dudes I know from Philly say that. The Southern version is "junt", which I don't say.

I've never understood how it became cool to sound illiterate.

Never heard that word. I dont really hang around people who speak slang though.
On New Years Eve I was trashed and went to call someone a douchebag and slurred so it came out "GOOSHbag". And so a new word was born that night.
Maybe it'll catch on and I can be in a rap video.

Speak English or Die.
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

I speak damn good English but when you go to public schools your whole life in philly, hang out with philly people all day long it catches on. I say
jawn like crazy, opps oh well. But that doesn't mean I can't speak properly or write well.

I'm so out of the loop. I still think "Awsome" and "Totally Rad" are annoying. I may ahve to start appreciating "awsome" after what I am reading in
this thread. It makes "Awsome" normal
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

You never really notice your own local dialect until you go elsewhere.
And everyone is looking at you lthinking "What the fuck did he just say?".
Well, its this place where nobody works, and the pigs don\'t give you any shit. Everyone smokes weed and gets drunk all day. Its a place where
cunts like me and you can truly take it easy and relax. Know what I mean?

words and they'll be like did you just say that. ie. "Those mother fuckers are living vicariously through their boys, yahmean?"
