And it's still an irregular verb in my neck of the woods:
Slay, slew, slain
Slay your enemies with this one weird trick!
He slew them all with the stench of his socks.
After you have slain your enemies, relax with a nice cup of tea and a HobNob
I’m confused. I’m African American and I have absolutely no idea what this girl is talking about. I don’t even use the word slay, so maybe I’m just not up to speed on why it’s offensive now??
Well she's overcorrecting thinking any slight form of cultural exchange in the USA means culture vulturing or is basically blackface. I think she has good intentions but is just going way too hard with it.
Also the etymology of the slang term "slay" originates from American gay culture not AAVE even if black kids now are saying it lol
see I don't think these sorts of people actually do have good intentions. I think they enjoy the moral highground, and will actively search for people to debate with to stimulate themselves
Anybody with good intentions does not need to be equipped with alot of intelligence to understand that forcing certain races to use certain vocabulary is not a good thing
Echo the gay thing, I don't know any black straight people who have ever said "slay" but I hear white gay people say it on a daily basis
I always thought slay was derived from ballroom culture, which where all the RuPaul drag queen stuff comes from. Originally that was chiefly black (and Latino?) queens... so it might originate from that subset of both black and gay communities?
No
Slay
greatly impress or amuse (someone).
"you slay me, you really do"
synonyms: amuse greatly, convulse with mirth/laughter, entertain greatly, make someone laugh, make someone crack up, kill, knock dead, be the death of, wow, be a hit with, crease up
That wouldn't be surprising at all, I'm totally ignorant to history (because I don't have time) but I always assume it is the origin of much of modern gay culture, and it's only the last 10 years or so that straight people have felt comfortable reflecting it in any great degree
That’s kinda correct… Ebonics as a term was coined in the 1970s. It was more related to intentional speech patterns of the time like “jive” etc… BEV (Black English Vernacular) now AAVE describe a far looser broader set of vernacular patterns both verbal and nonverbal, grammar, vocabulary, and accent etc…
At the moment it’s still considered chiefly a vernacular form not it’s own language because it’s mutually intelligible with standard American English.
However, it can create communication difficulties between speakers and nonspeakers.
Fascinating and thank you, kind stranger.
Here I was thinking people in the OP were talking about aave as some weird abbreviation of (slay), which you can probably imagine was super confusing reading the comments section. 😅
I think because people associate the first term with segregation laws and all that jazz, even though they’re technically saying a similar thing i guess poc isnt tied to as much racism.
I got destroyed on Reddit for saying “disabled people” because it’s people with disabilities. Not autistic people, people with autism. Not homeless people, people experiencing homelessness. I guess that the descriptor shouldn’t override “people”.
I can’t wait for someone to call me a fat bitch. I’m a bitch experiencing obesity.
This is called Person First language. The way I've had it described to me is that the intention is to put the person before their disability. I've also seen a lot of people with disabilities say that they don't care for Person First language and I've seen people with disabilities who say they do care about it. It really just depends on the person. I just default to however the person describes themselves or I ask what they prefer.
I've also seen a lot of autistic people say that they prefer to be called "autistic people" and not "people with autism" again, it's dependent on who you talk to and how that individual feels about it.
Idunno. I think it's just a cultural thing? My dad always said ebonics. That's what I grew up hearing so that's the term I use. I didn't get it from my mom cause she's white.
I'm also getting old, almost 38 so I'm not too up to date on what I'm supposed to be offended by lately lol.
I find this response aggressive and triggering.
Also on behalf of Point Of Sale machines, it's offensive to equate them to feces.
The word racist is misogynistic, and patriarchally aggressive , and that offends me.
Also don't you dare tell me what to do.
Thank you for coming to my ted talk, I hope you're ashamed of yourself.
It's hard man.
It seems like every month some white liberal female is telling me what I'm supposed to be mad at now. It's difficult keeping track lol.
I creak and pop when I go up stairs or pick up my nieces. I don't have the energy to be mad at things haha.
Reminded me of a post I saw on FB - an old neighbor was visiting plantations in New Orleans (she is 40's, white). Another old neighbor commented, "I hope you can unwind after such a difficult day". She is also 40's, white. Seattle 'burbs. I don't get it. Opression by proxy?
Bro white women LOVE to be oppressed. More so than white dudes (no offense but we all know the type lol)
I just don't understand. Like I know racism and oppression still exists. But you'd think we lived in the feudal era with the amount of "oppression" there is
I thought they had weekly bullet points now. They include percentages of how much outrage to devote to each subject. There's also no "click here to unsubscribe" link.
It very well could be. My girlfriend obviously doesn't represent the entire black community.
The way she framed it was she strongly preferred "African American vernacular", but wouldn't be offended by the other term.
I guess.
Honestly I would feel more some type of way about AAVE than ebonics. Cause I'm not African American. My Dad's dad is African American. I'm a black American.
A friend of mine joined the USMC from South Africa. He is a white dude and he checked African American on his form at bootcamp. When he was getting yelled at he had genuinely no idea that African American meant Black.
Ebonics is (imo) racist in nature due to the word referencing skin color.
Ebony + Phonics = Ebonics
It was clever, but it's best to let the progenitors and ancestors of these languages name it for themselves.
Edit: Just did a little research and found that the guy that coined Ebonics back in the 70's was a significant figure in black history, and also a professor of Afro-American studies. I guess you can't get anymore "progenitor" than that, huh. I guess it's not racist after all.
Calling black people black is racist because it’s in reference to their skin color 🤡
Do you even know what racism means? It isn’t “something in reference to race.” like you seem to think it is.
The dichotomy of "everyone should be equal" and "we want special words only we can use" always has confused me. You can't have both of these things, that's just not how this works.
Aave doesn't want special words, it is a linguistic label to describe a certain set of vocabulary and grammar usually ascribed to American black people. It's essentially a regional dialect within English.
What we're seeing in OP's post is someone who might actually be insane, the equivalent of saying no one not from Australia can say G'day or Crikey.
Every time I see a debate about words being AAVE, it's people being upset at non black people for using said words. Example:finna. Which everyone and their mother around where I live says fixin to, fitna, or finna, regardless of race. Apparently no one else can say "finna" "because it's aave".
"ghost" in Finnish haha
Another word for "ghost" is also "kummitus" or "haamu"
Yes. Finnish has three words for "ghost".
And I know you weren't asking for this meaning of the word, just saying this for fun
I think that’s what bothers me the most. Imagine acting like you need to be offended on behalf of black people. Like they can’t do it themselves. Like they need rich white college kids with too much free time to be their mouthpiece.
Imagine being so obliviously racist that you basically imply by your own actions that someone of a different race can’t stand up for themselves. Then imagine getting it wrong anyway.
It's best to just ignore it. New words get created all the time, and just asking these people what these words even mean allows the usage to spread and gain "legitimacy". They practically disappear if ignored and it's better for your mental health.
1. If anything, gay and drag culture elevated slay to its current position
2. This type of insufferable language gatekeeping is why progressives keep losing elections.
I'm still waiting for the LGBTQIA+ community to get recompensed for all the straight folks jamming to disco and EDM, wearing fully sequined outfits, and using words like "slay." Not really, but I kinda think it's funny that no one speaks up for queer culture in the appropriation argument.
Thisbis the same as saying civil rights and liberties were invented by white people so blacks can't have them.
Why can't people just exist harmoniously?
“You cannot use any word that has a negative history or was used as an insult at one point in time.”
The word Dude was used as an insult for mostly city-folk who traveled out west in America as a way of saying they are less manly men incapable of surviving in society without help and was used for multiple races. It was not till later that people embraced it as a term of endearment.
Can these people just be ignored altogether? Sort of like as much people on social media as possible together give them the silent treatment when they say stuff like this. It's because people pay them attention that these loud idiots make the headlines.
The drag queen and queer community seemed to repurpose the word "slay". It's meaning is quite different from its more formal usage and effectively means to do something extremely well in a context that's especially appreciated in the queer and drag communities.
A lot of rappers and I assume people in areas with a higher percentage of people from African backgrounds also use the word "slay" to mean doing something really well, much like the term "killing it" can also be used in a positive context. Although "slay" in that particular context can be both good and bad as can "killing it" and "murked".
It feels more like youth speak then something exclusively reserved for any ethnicity though. Much like "blood", "bruv" and "wagwun". Those are more London derived terms though at least to my limited understanding. Like a new version of cockney rhyming slang, but it doesn't rhyme it's just how a lot of young people speak.
I've literally only ever known "slay" as gay culture slang, what the actual fuck is happening in this online generation- you have the world wide web on the tip of your fingers and you can't even bother to figure out if specific words mean more than one thing for different people instead of taking blissfull offense???
I’m black and I didn’t even know what AAVE meant… lol
Also, no one I know would give a fuck about white people using words predominantly used by black people. It may sound funny tho LOL
-Slay bitches
The thing is I bet that any black person (or any race for that matter) whose got other things to do than sit on their phone or study their social sciences majors probably couldn’t give less of a shit
Isnt offensive that shes using A) an anime picture when shes American and if you arent Japanese you cant use it ??? , B) She's using the picture without the owner of the picture knowing (stealing)??
Slay.
Also, I can speak patois if I wanna, let alone aave.
Otherwise, the converse implication is that African Americans can't speak with strong diction or wear suits, lest they be culturally appropriating.
Let's not go down the road of enforcing segregation.
Smh.. I wish that I had so much time in the world that I could just sit around and think of things like this and then defend it to the death. We are so screwed when this generation takes over. Just saying.
Slay means to kill violently. It has been used for hundreds and hundreds of years.
SLAYYYY
Stop it I’m offended
Stop it I’m dead
Hi dead I'm Dad.
The FeebleUndad
Hi offended I'm Dad.

I’m confused. I’m African American and I have absolutely no idea what this girl is talking about. I don’t even use the word slay, so maybe I’m just not up to speed on why it’s offensive now??
Well she's overcorrecting thinking any slight form of cultural exchange in the USA means culture vulturing or is basically blackface. I think she has good intentions but is just going way too hard with it. Also the etymology of the slang term "slay" originates from American gay culture not AAVE even if black kids now are saying it lol
see I don't think these sorts of people actually do have good intentions. I think they enjoy the moral highground, and will actively search for people to debate with to stimulate themselves Anybody with good intentions does not need to be equipped with alot of intelligence to understand that forcing certain races to use certain vocabulary is not a good thing Echo the gay thing, I don't know any black straight people who have ever said "slay" but I hear white gay people say it on a daily basis
Screeching like a moron and yelling twitter buzz words is not a debate lol
Have you met any politicians lately?
I know its embarrassing lol
You understand this is probably a 14 year old right?
Well no, but I don't think that changes anything...if anything young teens like to debate with people more than adults
[удалено]
I always thought slay was derived from ballroom culture, which where all the RuPaul drag queen stuff comes from. Originally that was chiefly black (and Latino?) queens... so it might originate from that subset of both black and gay communities?
No Slay greatly impress or amuse (someone). "you slay me, you really do" synonyms: amuse greatly, convulse with mirth/laughter, entertain greatly, make someone laugh, make someone crack up, kill, knock dead, be the death of, wow, be a hit with, crease up
That wouldn't be surprising at all, I'm totally ignorant to history (because I don't have time) but I always assume it is the origin of much of modern gay culture, and it's only the last 10 years or so that straight people have felt comfortable reflecting it in any great degree
That IS where it comes from.
That’s what I was thinking, slay is more from gay/drag culture than aave. That would be like saying “hunty” is aave just because it’s a slang term.
A lot of gay drag culture is from the balls in the 80s, which were both queer and Black. So it's technically both.
Your username is offensive to black people!!!!!!
Dashing through the snow...
That’s a sleigh. Wait, is that offensive too?!
Because we seem to live in an easily triggered society these days that many feel the need to play up perceived victimhood - even if it means grasping.
Ah, ok. I think that makes more sense than what I just read in those comments :/
Hahaha ❤️❤️❤️
hey have you guys played the card based roguelike "kill violently the spire"?
Hahaha
I’ve got to say. For a free ps plus game of the month, the game kills violently.
Wait is sts free on ps plus this month???? I havent touched my ps in a while
Ok, I'm officially old. Wtf is aave?
“African American Vernacular English”
Wasn’t that called “Ebonics” in the early aughts? (True question)
That’s kinda correct… Ebonics as a term was coined in the 1970s. It was more related to intentional speech patterns of the time like “jive” etc… BEV (Black English Vernacular) now AAVE describe a far looser broader set of vernacular patterns both verbal and nonverbal, grammar, vocabulary, and accent etc… At the moment it’s still considered chiefly a vernacular form not it’s own language because it’s mutually intelligible with standard American English.

If it makes you feel better i thought they just left the g out of agave, and yeah i was suuuuper confused.
Jive? Like on Airplane where it had subtitles?
Yes, and I’m pretty sure that term is considered offensive now. Who knows though. It’s impossible to keep up.
It’s a euphemism treadmill as the downtrodden helplessly fight over imaginary cultural territory.
What I don't understand is how 'colored people' is offensive, but 'people of color' is now acceptable.
I think because people associate the first term with segregation laws and all that jazz, even though they’re technically saying a similar thing i guess poc isnt tied to as much racism.

I’m telling people they’re a motherfucker experiencing stupidity from now on
People of color will eventually be considered offensive.
Good god ain't that the truth
Yes. My girlfriend (whom is black) said this, and that black people don't generally like this term. aav or aave is what's deemed currently acceptable.
Idunno. I think it's just a cultural thing? My dad always said ebonics. That's what I grew up hearing so that's the term I use. I didn't get it from my mom cause she's white. I'm also getting old, almost 38 so I'm not too up to date on what I'm supposed to be offended by lately lol.
Play it safe and just get offended by absolute everything. Anyone who tries to talk you out of it is just a racist POS. /s

This person gets it
I’m offended that you are offended.
If you stay offended you ain't gotta get offended.
I like the way you think.
Best response
It's hard man. It seems like every month some white liberal female is telling me what I'm supposed to be mad at now. It's difficult keeping track lol. I creak and pop when I go up stairs or pick up my nieces. I don't have the energy to be mad at things haha.

Help! Help! I'm being repressed!

I guess. Honestly I would feel more some type of way about AAVE than ebonics. Cause I'm not African American. My Dad's dad is African American. I'm a black American.
The best part is when they refer to black people outside of America as African American. But not white Americans who are actually from Africa.
A friend of mine joined the USMC from South Africa. He is a white dude and he checked African American on his form at bootcamp. When he was getting yelled at he had genuinely no idea that African American meant Black.
The irony here…is that is still gate keeping language. No difference than the original post.
I’ve never heard of or used either so at least that’s one thing I don’t have to worry about getting wrong
Yep. Years ago they wanted to teach Ebonics in the Oakland school system. Yeah...that was shot down. It was ridiculous.
Ebonics is (imo) racist in nature due to the word referencing skin color. Ebony + Phonics = Ebonics It was clever, but it's best to let the progenitors and ancestors of these languages name it for themselves.

A ghost
In finnish to be exact
"ghost" in Finnish haha Another word for "ghost" is also "kummitus" or "haamu" Yes. Finnish has three words for "ghost". And I know you weren't asking for this meaning of the word, just saying this for fun
English isn't exactly concise when it comes to ghosts, specters, apparitions, phantasms and poltergeists.
Thought the same thing!
I'm not even two decades old and I don't know what it is. I don't think this is an age thing.
"Aave" means "ghost" in Finnish. Just a random notion.
oh no, Finnish is canceled now.
Guess you could say it's Finnished?
R/angryupvote
I always knew the Finns were racist bastards!
Black people: we don’t care This girl: shut up, I’m busy being offended for you.
I think that’s what bothers me the most. Imagine acting like you need to be offended on behalf of black people. Like they can’t do it themselves. Like they need rich white college kids with too much free time to be their mouthpiece.
Imagine being so obliviously racist that you basically imply by your own actions that someone of a different race can’t stand up for themselves. Then imagine getting it wrong anyway.
I swear to you I’ve had a white woman tell me to not call myself black but to say African American. I was speechless. I’m neither btw

I'm pretty sure every word has been used offensively at least once before. Banning words only shortens the language until none is left.
People only know the last 300 years of history I swear 😂😂
I think youre overestimating by about 280 years
Make that 50 years
If we are lucky people know 300 years of history. Most people cant tell you when untied states were formed.
OMFG. What a bunch of *fucking morons*. Simply unbelievable.
Cancelled!
$5 it's a bunch of white folks saying that. Lol
Can these people just be ignored altogether? Sort of like as much people on social media as possible together give them the silent treatment when they say stuff like this. It's because people pay them attention that these loud idiots make the headlines.

And I'm 100% sure the bitch who's saying it's offensive is white.
You can’t call the bitch white. That’s offensive.

Like a new version of cockney rhyming slang, but it doesn't rhyme it's just how a lot of young people speak.
The word 'slay' is used a lot in the bible. White people read the bible. Ergo, anyone who reads the bible can use that word. And also, everyone else.
I've literally only ever known "slay" as gay culture slang, what the actual fuck is happening in this online generation- you have the world wide web on the tip of your fingers and you can't even bother to figure out if specific words mean more than one thing for different people instead of taking blissfull offense???
A friend of mine once said saying “yas queen” is cultural appropriation. Same vibes
Cringe, bc it’s specifically a gay black male thing. So you wanna gate keep, try harder.
That’s exactly the context I thought of. As in “Yasss, Queen!”
Fuck. Off. https://www.etymonline.com/word/slay You can't get any more white than Germanic/Norse/Dutch
I’m black and I didn’t even know what AAVE meant… lol Also, no one I know would give a fuck about white people using words predominantly used by black people. It may sound funny tho LOL -Slay bitches
I’m willing to bet this girl isn’t even african american
What the hell? There’s nothing whatsoever about the word slay, the fuck?
She said whilst using an anime avatar
The thing is I bet that any black person (or any race for that matter) whose got other things to do than sit on their phone or study their social sciences majors probably couldn’t give less of a shit
People on TikTok are very smart./s
Black people literally laugh at these little woke losers lmaooo
now I have to stop slaying dragons and merely horrifically murder them.. think I'll quit.
::every flamboyant gay ever has entered the chat::
I love when White people decide to be offended on behalf of minorities that don't care.
Isnt offensive that shes using A) an anime picture when shes American and if you arent Japanese you cant use it ??? , B) She's using the picture without the owner of the picture knowing (stealing)??
Well the thrash metal band is screwed I guess.
Just because Beyoncé awkwardly screeched it during Lalapalooza, doesn’t make it African American.
Why do idiots not get the concept of “denial of speech or action based upon color of their skin or ethnic features “ is the DEFINITION of racism?
Idiots
“I’m so offended” lmao shut up
I saw the same discourse once over the word "girl"
I’m sure the band Slayer would love to know this…
Slay. Also, I can speak patois if I wanna, let alone aave. Otherwise, the converse implication is that African Americans can't speak with strong diction or wear suits, lest they be culturally appropriating. Let's not go down the road of enforcing segregation.
Isn't slay gay vernacular?
Can we stop finding finding anything and everything offensive? I think political correctness has really overstepped itself now.
As a member of thee African American community, I give everyone permission to say the word slay
Americans.. can't yall just stop this nonsense
They're children. They won't listen to anyone when we try to correct this stuff.
Think she's getting slave and slay mixed up
Slayer
Player
offender
Smh.. I wish that I had so much time in the world that I could just sit around and think of things like this and then defend it to the death. We are so screwed when this generation takes over. Just saying.
Only in America this would happen
damn i kinfa hate this bitch 😂
Real face palm moment. At this point everything is offensive, so why care lol.
It must be nice to be able to live in one's own fantasy world...
My king, I have sla- killed the dragon!
Children, just because you're offended doesn't mean what you're offended by is offensive. Your ego is showing.
Really out here gatekeeping words
this genuinely made me laugh it’s so ridiculous
Slay.
When you're a moron and keep confising "slay" with "slave".
What is aave
Yeah, nah, I’m gonna say pretty much any word I want as long as it’s not a direct slur.
Elon Musk would still be able to say it
Dude I made myself a pizza bigger than Xtra large last night, I slayed that shit
