Lol. enjoying the posts so far. as every slang term from each region seems like its fairly accurate.
But one region that often gets overlooked for their unique speech patterns, dialect, and regional slang is Florida. we have our own way of communicating down here. ill give a few examples

And anybody just can't say it. Houston has a certain countryness to it that it takes to execute the lingo correctly.
There is alot more but these are probably some of the most common words used in Houston everyday. I am 27 so I know many younger people dont talk like this but many of these slang terms are still popular in the H.
That's some cool sh&t. Every area has its own slang. It's amazing how some of these terms mean totally different things from one region to the next.
In DC, "dipped out" means to leave. "I dipped out on those bamas at the party."
Bopper in houston mean the same in DC...a dipper in DC is PCP too (knows nothing about it)
Goes to show the midatlantic status of DC bc everytime I call my man...he automatically say Hol'up like he in houston...and back in 04-05 everybody was listenin to chopped and screwed in DC(still do)...somebody from bmore tried to put me on it 2 years ago like it just came out and I told him....hol'up

The first time I was in DC back in 07 or 08, I heard screw played in a car while I was walking down the street and was trippin about hearing it. That really opened my eyes to how big screw got in recent years outside of Texas. Many people from Houston been listening to it since like the early, mid nineties and really grew up with it. Thats really how I learned about Biggie, Pac, and other rappers I would have probably otherwise not so much been exposed to because of the screw tapes. For me, it is really not a fad but more of a culture/lifestyle kind of like go-go in DC where I will more than likely listen to it for the rest of my life.
In the Central part of Texas, dipped out is used the same way as DC.
Yea, my wife is from San Antonio and they use dipping in that way even though I know some Houston people do to. When I think about "Dip" Sherm comes to mind first but that shows how words have different meanings all the time.

ect. ect.
