Toronto Language

[Temurzai]

"mad" + "wicked" is proper boston speak. duno if england did 'mad' first tho. wicked for sure, but 'mad' could proper dec poss be northeastern USA

 

[faysal]

duno about mad but wiked is common here, and the whole bro thing is highly common here too hahaha, as for the wrist flicking....thats uk too, you people never seen ali g for god sake! lol

hahaha, this is entertaining.

People in Toronto use 'bro' after everything. Like when the brampton kids stand infront of their local boston pizza, and go, 'yo bro, check out dat boomee bro'. I dont know what it means, but they also call every "b". "yo 'b' whats good 'b'". They say "seen" a lot too. They go "seeeeeen" and do that wrist flicking thing that makes that snapping noise. Also "guy" after everything "Yo guy, chill bro, its all good guy, seeeeen? (snap snap)"

haha this convo is really entertaining.

and i've heard "b" a lot, but I'm not from toronto. you'll hear it in a few hip hop songs, or in the ghetto (my hood). I think it's short for "bro." I think it stems from hip hop language, which for a large majority is the same everywhere. I've heard people from Cali, NY, Florida, Chicago, etc. use the word "fam," which is meant to be a close friend. Or "mad"-which EVERYONE uses. I've heard and used "tight" in both good ways and bad-"yo that shirt is tight!!" and "she dumped you and now you're tight"

You think if I put that I speak ghetto on my resume people'll be impressed?
Languages: English, French, music, ghetto

out here in Virginia, V-dot stands for Virginia department of transportation... hahahaha... so its kinda funny when people say T-dot, sounds kinda wack if you ask me... sorry to break it to you toronto folks, I was using "mad" when I went to school in India which was a long time ago... A little behind are we?

and wtf is up w/this wrist flick thing some1s gotta show...i twist my wrist all the time and they make that weird noise

hahahah that's what people who dip (use chewing tobacco) do. It's to pack the tobacco together, but I just do it because I can make the snapping noise. At first it's hard to do but if you keep doing it then you'll start to snap easily. I don't dip though at all though.

I always thought "mad" was more of a New York thing, but "wicked" and "sick" is definitely Boston. My friend from Canada (not sure which part) says "that's salt" a lot.

People in Toronto use 'bro' after everything. Like when the brampton kids stand infront of their local boston pizza, and go, 'yo bro, check out dat boomee bro'.

Well, I'm not your buddy friend! Well I'm not your friend guy! Well I'm not your guy, buddy!
