Not really. A slang phrase can have a discrete meaning independent of grammar.

If I say i'm bending a corner and you think i'm literally reaching down and bending a corner of something, that's not right.
Yes, depending on perspectives. But doesn't slang originally generate from a singular, or smaller point, and then grows from there? Someone says something dumb or funny to their friend that has relevance to that specific situation, then the friend says it, and it grows.

I'm just BS'ing. My main issue was the word "our".
 
He lectured me for laughing at communist jokes the other day and Ioled in real life about it.

I don't even dislike the guy either but he comes across as a bit intense and a good calm down would do him wonders I think

His first account here was entirely different. All about growing weed, getting high and (not racial) CTs. Took a wrong turn I guess.
 
The slang here in TO is hilarious, it's a mix of Somalian and Jamaican at this point.

Have you ever heard of a 'Bucktee' for example.
I learned what a "pack" was from you. Urban Dictionary barely recognizes it :P

Can't say I have. If it's patois inspired, i'm saying it's someone with big ass teeth lol.
 
Sweet tea vodka is waaaaayyy too dangerous.

I'd always go to bed drunk and wake up in another room or house and that was a Wednesdays

it is not unlike Jurassic park Imo

I was in an ICP/Twiztid/KMK phase in 8th grade. So I was there for a second. But the next year in HS I went back to Led Zeppelin and Metallica.

I hate led zeppelin so much. That shit is not good to me at all. Zeppelin the doors pink floyd and radiohead compete in my world for who the most awful over rated band is.

It sounds crazy on the surface but if you are aware of my musical tastes it makes perfect sense.

Means a crackhead, or drug user. Basically a custy etc. What's funny is it's not really slang, thats the legit word in somalian for it.

'Wallahi' is used a ton too. Means 'on god' basically. "I'm gonna pack him Wallahi"

Shit cracks me up, this city is such a mess. Big ass Jamaican dudes speaking Somali in the streets. Shit is hilarious.

The "our" is black people. Black people's steez is America's greatest export.

Been that way for a hot minute, people just started noticing lol.

Lol isn't that the truth. Honestly, black people are entertaining as hell and I don't mean that disrespectfully on some jester shit. Look at that famous dex hoes mad video. I swear to god black dudes are some of the best trolls on the planet. Look at his fuckin dance moves in that video. The entire world is obsessed with black culture. Somewhere in Bolivia some native kid in a jungle wants to be black. In Tel aviv some Jewish kid is secretly reciting Tupac in his bedroom. In Japan, some kid is listening to Chief keef on the way to school.

Meh. All my friends in school were black. I'm a redhead, so we always got along for some reason. Probably because we both got picked on for something we had no control over, so then we took pride in it. Plus we all liked wrestling.

My dad (other than his bands and stuff) was a member of the White Panthers. His best friend and room mate in Ann Arbor, Michigan was Hiawatha Bailey, a gay black man in the 70s. So I was brought up with a very open mind in the south. (@Gutter Chris might appreciate this)

That shit's funny as hell. It's always amazing how stuff like that gets proliferated places. Chicago slang was inherited from the south, they put their spin on it, and all of a sudden down south dudes are talking like Chicago dudes. I heard foenem the other day and it was some goofy white dude on the phone with someone talking like he just left Chicago.

Folks doing big things around here. I'm proud.

Bless, that's great to hear. Put's a drunken smile on my face.

Jeez, what is your opinion on The Who or the Beatles while we are at it?

A friend and I were discussing that the other day, and the conclusion we came to is that our culture is inherently based in making the best of bad circumstances. Instead of crying, we cut up and make the best of it. Soul Food is basically pig entrails turned delicious and high carb working food. AA music is derived from when we weren't allowed to have instruments and made songs. AAVE is an extension of oral learning and common linguistic norms that allowed us to communicate in code when on plantations. It's a culture that is firmly based in making the best of bad circumstances and finding a way to see the good in it.

So to people who aren't steeped in such a culture, it's almost like escapism. We're laughing and acting up while they're in despair. There's a certain appeal to stoically staring your issues in the face and laughing at them to avoid crying. From the outside it looks like a big ass party though. I don't blame people for being drawn to it.
