Funny how many of these became mainstream and stuck around

[–] Loco_Mex@sh.itjust.works 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Which means Gen-z slang will be the norm for a century as well.

Do one the other way like

Flower power … bloommaxxing

I like how it has "Bringing me down" = "Taking off a high" but then also has "Taking off a high" at the bottom.

Oooooh. So gold is the same as money!

Very useful.

Isn't some of this taken from AAVE? Like "crib".

Hold on, if you’re going to make it multiple choice you gotta do all of the nicknames for weed too.
