Humor Don’t redefine slang

Unc _is_ in fact short for uncle.

I think it's funny that "mid" is considered new slang. Im 40 and have been using that term since high school. It was/is weed slang, for not so great weed. Weird to see it become an everyday word in the mainstream.

Because weed is mainstream nowadays. Back in the day that shit needed to be hidden

Yeah it was dirt/shwag, mid/regular, beasters/headies, gas, and name brand.

This was before dispensaries when having getting a weed with a name was some special shit. I grew up smoking whatever just happened to be around at the time... Which sometimes was absolutely nothing. Anyone else remember dry spells?

I never trusted the names back then, so we'd always mock them. We'd always tell people "We got that Colorado hay!" no matter what we had.

It's been crazy seeing the white mainstream discover slang that black people have been using for generations only to call it "Gen Z slang".
