Doesn't mean that. Means babe/baby

I'm pretty sure the "before anybody else" is made up*. It just means 'babe', invented by black Americans.

*probably by white people trying to make sense of it all.

Feelz.

I hate it's use even when people are using it in a mocking fashion. Be gone.

Oh noes, lolz, I got the feelz for bae.


Time for bed I think now.

NachoBusiness

Sick.

How the slang use of this word came to mean the exact opposite of it's traditional definition I have no clue, but I wish it never happened.
Even now, after a God knows how many years of hearing it being used it this way, it still grates. Can't abide it.

Rapid - used as amazing or awesome.
Kid - as a means of addressing people.
Telpis. Oh, I can't describe the hatred I feel for that word. Makes me shudder every time I hear it!

Sharon Ni Bheolain once said live on the Six None news that a burglar that had been caught coming down a chimney was "snared rapid".
In the same news report Brian Dobson called the chimney a "chimley".

Is rapid still in use? Was fairly common in the 90's when I was up.

The bog equivalent 'savage' is another one.

Sadly it is, at least in Limerick. I remember savage being used up in Sligeach when I was a child too. Ugh.

I thought a gatt was a homemade catapult.

That 'bae' thing really is cretinous.

I'm from Cork and 'gatting' was a very common word for going drinking (especially in a field, sometimes called bushing as well) when I was a teenager anyway.

What if they say "on the morrow", which I'd often say " on the tomorrow" sounds stupid

"On the tomorrow" does sound stupid. Try "tomorrow" and see does it sound better than both "on the morrow" and "on the tomorrow."

Hint: it does.

razorblunt

The word "ye".

Does "I would of" count as slang? Or it does it fall under stupidity?

True but it's not about sounding better, I just like saying it
