So we established that its just not acceptable to say:
'Word'
or
'Word to your momma'
or god forbid
'Can you design that in Word'
Not trying to start this thread again, but I was out last Saturday with my mates and started (geekily) about the thread and then it just degraded (as it does with a belly full of cider) into me talking like a k-nob for the night.
So whats the hip lingo that the kids are talking these days?

Word.
Totally acceptable as a standalone adjective in my book of hipperies and current lingoisitics.

My guilty pleasure is calling co-workers 'g-money'. I know that im being deadpan dn ironic when I say it and I know that it also makes me sound like a cock.
But still. I've come to terms with it.

Sweet book Bluejam, may have to invest in it to stay in touch with the 'now' generation.
Try this, Ive tested it and despite how well I wanted it to be good, its just pants.

Bluejam, that is cringe-worthy. Or Whack, whatever.
Right-o, Im off to the pub for cider. Maybe. Anywho, enjoy the weekend, start this puppy afresh on Monday morn, with a sore head!
Word. Out.

I thought we established that it was ok for white people to use "word"? Maybe I established that. My absolute favorite term to hate is the whole "what up bro"... get the fuck out of here with that; more times than not it's an insult that is sub-consciously thrown out there. For some people it's a habit that they use all the time, but for most, it's applied to certain people
word.

What about broham?
I call my two best friends that on occasion, haha.

I can't stand it when people say "bro", not because of any black/white thing, but it is always some douchebag in a suit trying to show you that he isn't out of touch.

Can I also add this term is only used either on instant messenger, or during a phone conversation and not in public, haha.

you know those guys flav, it is different than some jerkoff in an elevator or something.
- flavorful0
Yea, I know exactly what you are talking about broseph.
Hhaha, I am sorry.

I learn something new every day.

Sometimes I use holmes when conversing via email to co workers
mainly because I'm hung like John

I remember my grandma's neighbor had a blue Cadillac Brougham back in '87. I used to want one so bad!
and yeah flav, it's different if you know the people you're interacting with. I mean really, say I'm in a store at the mall and some guy walks behind me and tries to get by and says "excuse me bro"...
:|
and like dobs said, whether that shit was intentional based on race or not, it's just plain fucking annoying! And it could be applied to any loose term that is vague in meaning; yes, even the controversial "N" word.
I might run around and start saying "Excuse me crack" just to see what happens... no I would never do that, but whatever.

I use "bro" all the time...but one time I used it at a toll booth and the african american toll worker looked at me all fucked up..I was like "What??...What?? i can't say 'bro' now? Ah man..."

I call and have called people holmes for like 20 years. I aint giving it back. I dont give a shit.
- TheBlueOne0
...and among my close friends I habitually answer the phone with "What's up motherfucker?" and the established answer for over ten years has been, "Dolemite, motherfucker. Dolemite."

Yea holmes, kiko and dunn are staples.
And BFF of course, but that goes without saying.
