oooh ooh ooh lol I know Im late but I want to participate

Ok here is some Detroit slang

Slappin- equivelent to bangin, on point (ex: that party was slappin)
smashin-meaning to eat/or ate
what up doe-greeting
bro/brody-would be the same as a Chicago person uses joe
spot/spiggidy-crack house
busto/sto-a female who sleeps around
yays/cardys-cartier glasses
boss up-man up; boss down-opposite, or fall back
girl/boy bye-equiv to saying girl/boy please; used when someone says something you don't want to hear. (oh and girl/boy beat it is the same although not used as much anymore)
beat/hit-to have sexual intercourse lol
lame-self explanatory, sure we're not the only ones who use it
bang-speakers/sounds in a car
stuntin-paying attention to (ex: boy I ain't stuntin you)
scrappin/scrap-fighting
bread-money
cake'n-spooning, chillin wit your "boo" lol
What u got up-what are you doing later or how much money do you have (when shootin dice)
....shoot/shootin-playing dice
blowed-high on weed

not even-used when something that's not going to happen
boy would you-hard to explain. Kind of like saying "I wish you would" or used when you don't believe someone. For example somebody braggin on somehting they really don't have somebody might reply "boy would you" as to say they are lying or they know its not true.

cant think of any more right now
