DC and Chicago use Joe. The only two cities that I know that uses Joe. Chicago uses Charlie though. When they say it, I usually laugh.

True; I forgot about that. I was looking at the video and was like they use as much slang as us lol. Except we spell treal like trill.

I though only the central Texas area used "Cuddie". If you said that in Houston or Dallas; people would look at you like you was crazy.

I guess Texas just like look at the video for most of Texas slang.

Well he spelled "gwop" wrong. It's suppose to stand for something.

GWOP = George Washington on Paper.

Also, I never denied the fact that it did. You had lots of Texans (or California in general) moving out to the Bay area and vice versa.

of course that song kills the bay one, because Big L is a way better rapper than whoever that was. NYC has some great slang, but not nearly as much or good as the bay imo. NYC has bit bay area slang in the past plenty of times.
I like New York slang though. such as.....

I got mad bills yo.

In the bay that would be something like....

I got hella chips/cheese/gwop bruh.

or

Aye bruh's pocket's are hella fat! He walking wit a limp!

It is sexual term, I don't really know anyone who uses that except for some rappers.

It means I want some head(jaw) so I am gonna take a flight to Boston, because boss is slang for getting head. Some also say I'm going to take a trip to Jamaica(jaw-maica).

they have different meaning in the ne tho...
are we talking about cake as a money reference or drugs? and i thought you said gwop originated in the bay. guac as in guacamole as in green as in money is from nyc, afaik. somewhere down the line, guac turned into gwop (just like thun turned into dun).


and the bay bites nyc slang too. its not like everyone is isolated. everyone everywhere uses american slang in america, lol. i feel like the bay is taking credit for stuff that was started elsewhere too. i thought finna/fixing to/fin started in the south...i also gotta disagree with bay area slang being as good as nyc. its a personal preference thing, i'm sure but you guys make words up that just sound ridiculous.

on some:

i'ma go ghostride da whip hella speckicide playboy, you nadda meanskadda diddly dee my dude?

Joe? Yall got that from Chicago, we've been callin people joe since the 90s. Thats 100 percent Chi-town slang, along with Charlie, Shirley, Flickin, Tweekin, Whadown, Chicago slang is different than anywhere else and its unique to Chi-town. No other place has the distinctness where you can tell just by his or her slang you know exactly where they're from. At least not too my knowledge.
