Yeah. I think AAVE is an important part of culture (more for some AAs than others, but still). I think it's a way to help AAs bond/make them feel like there's something that's more exclusive to them. Whether or not it's good, who knows. But I think that, within the community, it carries its own value - especially when you get into vernacular that differs depending on location (aka NYC slang vs DC slang vs LA slang, etc).

Okay, y'all clearly just haven't had friends that hype you up/hyped up your friends enough because those two words are essential to the "GLO SIS" package.
I can't see myself getting hyped from my friends yelling "YAS!" Lol. It's just played out to me. It's like (forgive the reference while I also have an avi of it) in HIMYM when Lilly said "son of a bitch" and pronounced it "beesh". It was somewhat funny the first time, but when it became a thing it was lame. That's how I see "yas" and "slay" lol.

ETA: this is just my personal opinion/dislike and I acknowledge ppl's differing views on and rights to use these phrases.

Edit: what's GLO SIS?

agreed to all of this, and "good" in this case is highly subjective + contextual

edited to add: subjective + contextual just like language itself, am i right????

Yeah, I agree! I also think some of the annoyance or confusion with terms like "yasss" or "slay" comes from the... loss of nuance? for lack of a better term - that happens when they get adopted into mainstream slang and the AAVE origin is lost.

Lol, like the glo up? No? Not a thing?

Also, I think it's different for me because I'm black so when things go mainstream I'm kinda like, "Okay, but who did it first (and better)?!?!?!?" :lol: :lol:

Anyone else sick to death of Koine? All these Alexandrian youths calling the sea "Thalassa" and refusing to use the dual form. It's unseemly!

Oh god. I hope to god we aren't in the same conlaw class. You gave me hives just now.
I'll just tuck in real quick to say one can simultaneously believe that language can, will, and should change while also believing that you shouldn't apply or look for those changes retroactively.

I think I have. That narrator's voice sounds familiar. I don't think it was intentional (like I was looking for that channel specifically), I think I was just looking for any videos on schools lol

It's weird because they're only like 4 years old but everything just seems so much older (fashion, for one lol).

That video had Tyler, the Creator interviewing Seth Rogen in the suggested videos, so safe to say I didn't stay on the Berk video long.

There's a recent episode of Hidden Brain on the evolution of language I'd recommend: http://www.npr.org/2017/01/10/509035454 ... -literally

I think the bigger issue is that there's often little recognition/appreciation for the cultures from which language/slang is adopted (for example, I believe YAASS and slay were both originally popularized in drag queen culture). I don't think there's inherently an issue with the evolution of language through cultural exchange, but language appropriation has the same issues as other forms of cultural appropriation.

Also explains why they're all so chill, rarely talk about job prospects. Because they are still living in the pre-2008 world.

Youtube was around when the videos were made (albeit much smaller), but I am not sure why they didn't upload them until 2013.

That's very true. I mean, it's kind of like the classic *cringe* when someone uses slang improperly because they're not familiar with what it means but they want to use it anyway.
