Tweet that sh*t bro!

Have you begun to realize that as you scroll through your twitter feed you have absolutely no idea what anyone is saying? Are you forced to keep Urban Dictionary open on another tab just to translate the obscure lingo? You’re not alone.

It seems more and more that the easily impressionable are turning away from real people words and embracing the terminology created by their favourite underground Youtube rapper (you may also want to keep a tab open to keep up with all the underground Youtube rappers).

For example: Jabroni. This word has been appearing more and more in the last few weeks and it is without a doubt the stupidest term to come across the web in recent memory. According to the ever reliable and socially relevant Urban Dictionary this is someone who is a loser, sh*t-talker, and many more equally endearing titles.

Also if the music industry wasn’t confusing enough already many artists have chosen to adopt secondary names that are used across the internet. Some more common examples of these would be:

Lil’ Wayne= weezy (fair enough, no one can understand a damn word he says)

Drake= Drizzy (...?)

So if it wasn’t hard enough already to communicate a proper message in 140 characters or less (when you need more space proper grammar is the first thing to go) it doesn’t get any easier when people decide their dictionary would better serve as rolling paper.

At least pretend you’ve spent every year of your school life taking English and leave these new slang terms where they belong: nowhere, ever.
