Wtf is Rashing???? I’m American and have never heard of it 😂😂
idol8701 same, I said “people just say stop putting me on blast”
douglas wahid no we don’t use any of that lmao
Same lol
Each part of the u.s has there own slang so yeah
@@noralavender3798 still lmao no one ever says rashing lol if so it’s a very small local group of people who do💀
I feel like producers heard one person in a back alley in the US say rashing and decided it must be a slang
As an American, I just wanna know who tf is using the word rashing lmao what even
American here lol juiced is not excited 🤣 it means ripped or steroid. I’ve NEVER used juiced and meant excited
Kamren Walker Def also means excited
I only used it in terms of being drunk or tipsy 😂
Im American, I thought juiced was on steroids. And I think only elementary kids say nunya lol
I have never even heard of rashing either.....this is so funny
did you forget that american is a very big country with a lot of different cultures and people?
yeah, the juiced I know is only for steroids... But also, I'm not up to date on all the young ppls slang.
@@Littleawkwardderp yeah but everyone in the comments is universally agreeing it’s not real we can’t all be from the same area
I’m from the USA, and I was almost as unfamiliar with these slang words as you were. I think that these slang words are either generational, regional, or from a demographic subgroups slang. The only slang word and definition that I knew was swole. However, I did correctly guess the definition of nunya.
Subcultures, yes. I agree
Not sure where u from but slang words are mostly used in the hood thats y
That's what I was thinking!! I've never heard most of these slang words...I can think of a lot of slang they could have used!
I've atleast heard all of these in some form genuinely used atleast once in my life
So what slang is from where you are? :)
*I can't say this are American slang words. They are rarely used.*
Ablene Nigussie they have to use hard ones because brits know most of the usual slang
I use and hear slot of these daily (except ones like rashing)
Yes it is😂😂all the time where I’m from
People use these words all the time except rashing. And people mostly use the word guap In music
They are used all the time in the hood I hear them everyday
bruh these ain’t american slang words 😂
Whip is more bri"ish and finessed?
I feel like drip is the most up to date one
As an American, I have never heard any of these words besides nunya and swole. Wow
How old are you? Most of the people that use these words are young and I hear people say them all the time ( expect rashing and guap )
@@sdremake8453 yah
Swole is used when get a nasty bump on your arm and you’re from the South. “A bee stung me and my arm swole up!”
I swr down we say finesse here in the uk
Yeah but it originated in America
honestly
This is not American slang!
I agree, but also i like ducks and posting dancing videos
Boris Arthur advertise your content somewhere else
yes it is. the majority of it just comes from black americans. just say you don’t know the words.
You’re not from the inner city are you?
It is 😂 I also think its just the area you come from besides it just being a black community thing
I'm from New York City and I never heard anyone use any of these words. Except maybe "nunya" used by little kids.
And for "swoll" meaning muscular and "juice" meaning thats you've been taking steroids. But they only have been used in movies or tv shows.
Lastly "whipped" means, letting people control you or take advantage of. (That one is pretty common)
Most of this slang came from the Dirty South
The word was whip not whipped. So that meaning was correct with car, like you might hear "pulling up in my four wheel whip" or something.
Pretty sure “rashing” is supposed to be “razzing”. Like “stop razzing me”
That’s what I thought too
Wth this is American slang, y’all 😂😂 the only one I didn’t know was the word
Rashing wtf is that
I’m American and I have heard all of these. Y’all do realize that the US is comprised of 50 completely different states
where do you live? jw what part of america is hearing these b/c i've only heard a few
@@zarahshabs7936 I live in Texas and I’ve heard all of these expect rashing
@@sdremake8453 makes sense because i live in new york
@@zarahshabs7936 bro they say all of those in New York City and nj you must be from up state
@@MrFamouscib I’m from just outside NYC like 20 min drive. And I have a lot of friends from NYC and I have heard a couple? But mostly not
EDIT: Wait jk I’m rewatching and I know a decent amount LMAO maybe I was half asleep watching before
This IS definitely American slang I've said all of these words except "rashing"🤷🏾♀️ idk what state that's from
i think categorizing all these terms as american is kinda hard since america is so large and many of the words come from vastly different areas of the country with different culture.
Bruh no one in New York uses rashing, yaaaaaallll big buggin.
I'm American and I haven't heard of alot of these words
The black girl really knows our slang pretty well
I've never heard of some of these and they were for real closer to the terms than I was.
This is not American slang. Literally only swole, nunya, and whip are used. If I used any of the others, no one wouldn’t know what I’m talking about.
Garrett Davidson depends where you live rashing tho I’ve never heard but I’m from NY maybe that’s used somewhere
Garrett Davidson Definitely a location thing. In california i’ve never heard nunya, but swole, whip, drip, and finesse are common.
Where do they get the slang words from?
The guy wearing the Aute Cuture hoodie has taste.
“finessed” is like be in possession or steal or ownership, not just steal.
Or using subtle skill.
Juiced is more used in video games to describe someone who is boosted or is over powered at the game.
Ik most haven’t heard the slang but like i guess it varys by region and state cause i have heard majority of the slang
I'm from Illinois and I have never heard of most of these either.
Some of these! I have no idea!
My dad sometimes uses the word “finesse” when he means he’s gonna use force.
Finessed could also means like doing something cool or clever. Like nonchalantly
I wanna see you guys guess New York slang.
Notice how quick some people are to call the culture of others stupid. No, it's just not your culture. There's lots of British slang that people around the world don't understand. Does that make it stupid?
Im American and they must speak this slang in a region Ive never been before. I never heard some of these words used before in my life lol.
95% of these terms i have never even heard of, let alone used. And I'm a 23 year old American. So don't worry my British friends, your not alone!
For rushing, we used to say Why you sweatin’ me?
I'm American I've never heard 97% of these words
Im english- how did they not know what drip is or whip is?
Brits, these are urban slang words that most Americans don’t use and have never heard of.
I’m American and I don’t think I’ve heard any of these except drip and maybe juiced
They got words used in the US in niche locations lesser known cities. “Guap is a GTA San Andreas term” btw
to add to the million Americans who had no idea what rashing was. I've lived on both coasts and have not heard it once
Me and my friends in the U.K said nunya growing up. I can't remember where I heard it from though
There was a popular 90s American Disney movie called "brink". As far as I know, that's the origin of the word.
nunya was fun i miss it
I feel like we can guess us words in sentences but not the other way round
Also nunya is spelled “none yah” again live in Chicago
I’m American and I don’t know a lot of people who use some of these slangs
Where the heck did they get these words??? LOL. I’m American & have only heard a couple of them
This is aave / Black slang, hence why those people and people in the comments are saying they haven't heard of it 😂🙄
💯
Right this is black slang
Different places use some of these words different
I've only heard of whip. Born and raised in Texas. "Nunya" is more along the lines of "gonna". As in it's an abbreviation of "none of your" like "going to ". Not really slang. I would never write "nunya" down.
I’m from Texas and I’ve heard them all except for guap and rashing. But some of them are not very common. The only one I’ve ever used was “nunya” as a joke.
Idk where y’all get off claiming to not know these. “Rashing” is iffy but all of these should be common sense for any American that was in high school in the last 10 years
I'm a Gen-X American who grew up when "juiced" meant "roided"; "finesse" was a noun, a verb, and a hair spray; and "drip" was either gonorrhea or some killjoy square.
what is
juiced?
guap?
Where I'm from in the us juiced means steroids rashing isnt really slang anymore people would usually say stop putting me on blast or just stop roasting me
This was the easiest quiz ever😂😂
I'm American and I've never heard the word "guap". On the other hand, I'm an old fart too.
I'm American, and I don't know what half of these mean. A lot of them I've never even heard. Qkz zknq OH qohw.
By rashing I think you mean stack, which is whatI used to hear, like "Ayo he stackin bro cuz of his shoes." no one uses rashing I didnt even know that was a thing?
Where are these people getting these terms from? Lol.
As everyone else said, I'm an American and knew like 2 or 3.
Drip and swole are the only one of these I've heard but swole is from like a decade ago. I expected to see boujee, salty, extra, tea, shade or GOAT.
No one in the history of America has ever referred to themselves as “juiced” when they are excited lmFAO
"Nunya" isn't a thing, except among very old dads
That’s a coooool whip!
To be fair I’ve never heard of rashing but I’m 34 so. Maybe I’m just old.
Noneya is mindyo’s younger cousin!!🤣🤣🤣I’d definitely say juiced is “on steroids.”
Wtf is guap 😂
Argentum Gaming you ain't black bro that's why you don't no😭
Jawn. East coast
Also from Chicago once again. We don’t use the word rashing😂 I have never heard that being used ever In my life. We either say you got roasted, cooked, treated, ext. we literally have a show called the roast. I’ve never heard of rashing in my fucking life. That was either a troll or a lie told to the channel before the video was made
Going by UK media, I'd assume that England was a country in Africa or the Caribbean.
To me whip is walks/hits per inning pitched. Thays pretty American.
Rashing, juiced I’ve never heard
I'm from Oklahoma and I only knew 2 of of these slang words
These are more black American slang than general American slang
Mainly cause black people started the slang yall go by today 🤣🤣🤷🏾♂️
As an American I could say I use this slang and here it all the time. Except rashing lmao.
Lmao I just finessed a car check her out lmao
We don’t say rashing down south.. never heard that in my life
Me being British: what the flip is that my g
That is so drip🙄” well that was hard to watch
What Americans did you ask for this?! I've barely heard any of these, let alone used them in conversation. 😂
When we say "juiced" we definitely means using steroids. Not happy at all. Have never heard it used that way
I'm 37 and was born and raised in California. Never heard of these words. Must be a Gen Z thing
Jumping on the band wagon of I knew maybe two of these lol. BUT, I am also a 31 year old mid west millennial....so that may be why lol
maybe im too old, but I've never used the majority of these words with the definitions they said. are these what the young kids are saying now??
Some of these words we do use but some of them we don’t. Like I’ve never heard of rashing before
Any American over the age of 20 who has commented "I've never even heard of these words".... well, DUH! We're not meant to know what they mean. Kids invent slang to exclude adults from their conversations. The second an adult figures out the slang word, it's dead.
American here haven’t heard most of these....yikes
American slang and black American slang is different lmfaoo
wtf is juiced?? i have never heard anyone say that and i live in the us
4:40
Vroom-Vroom!
3:26 i swear thats also british. like you see bare man goin like, yo fam man just got finessed init blud
I’m American and I’ve never said juiced or guap
As an American I have never heard rashing
As an American I can say I have never used any of these words
Never heard Juiced. Have heard Guap in like a year. Finnese is the only thing that is normalized. And thats british too. (Swole is also normalized here)
America one word can be many thing depending on our tone
I’m american and I have never heard of most of these terms. Who TF made this list?!
Some of these are black slang probably why
As an American I’ve literally only heard of a few of these. Odd list 🤨
Most of these are used in the hood
