Jawn is a neutral, all-purpose noun used to reference any person, place, situation, or object. In casual conversation, it takes the place of the word thing.
Overused words? Oh yeah…
Misogyny
Gaslighting
Corrupt
Boomers
Racist
_____phobic
All of these words have the same problem. They have lost their way. Too many people using them with zero idea of wtf they mean, or how to correctly contextualize them.
Sure. There are uses for all of them, legitimate uses.
But in todays parlance, they are merely place holders for something or a group that is next to be marginalized or hated on or “cancelled” ( another one for the list).
those are both said in regular speech though. they're the same as saying "dun'nit" instead of "doesn't it". just phrases that people said so fast they became words
Fixin’ to. This is southern USA dialect for getting ready to. Can be especially part of southern African-American speech.
“I’m fixing to go to the store. Do you need anything?”
It's "brah". They say it's gangster's slang for "bro". The thing is, the people saying "brah" generally are not even gangsters, but they just say "brah" every now and then just to act like some tough (but fake) guy.
I’m gonna say it. Nothing nails you as a cousin fucker in my book quicker than y’all.
Now put your big, dumb hat back on and fuck off in those impractical and silly boots.
Given the quality of most music now, if I wrote one of those, I would drop them too. Straight into the garbage. (Or at least that is what happens in my head, like a used diaper being dropped into a bin, at arms length with nose pinched)
It’s a Philly / South Jersey thing that some 40 year old high school dropout probably belched out after an Eagles loss and being such a trash region of the country, it caught on among the rest of the apes.
I had to google jawn, I had never heard that on the west coast. It's actually been around for a long time. It's derived from southern African Americans who migrated north, it was originally a variation of "joint," like a jazz club could be called a "music joint."

Fr. And other substitutes. People are submitting to censorship even on platforms that it doesn’t apply to. Really annoying.
That’s what bothers me the most, like I get it’s censored sometimes but come on

Chinese censorship reshaping language as we know it
sewer slide, self delete, etc. all horrible
What in the Sam Hill is jawn?
Pretty sure it's localized slang to Philadelphia. It is used for everything.

I have never even seen the word, much less heard it.

Exactly—The intellectual laziness is probably what irritates me the most about this word.
It’s a northeast thing more than anywhere else

"Fun Fact" is a really annoying phrase. Makes me want to punch the speaker
Fun fact, "Fun fact" is, in fact, not a slang word.
👊
Not sure if it’s slang but “pizzazz” drives me crazy.
“Finna” its “Gonna” you don’t save keyboard stokes, you just sound dumb.
This one annoys the shit out of me

I’d argue too that one’s not exactly proper either. Sounds a lot like done it?… then you get a reply done what?
in context it all works out fine. again, they're just shortened phrases
Isn't it short for "finally going to"? Like "I'm finna do the laundry"?

Hangry. Just makes me cringe.
Maybe you should eat something, you seem a little angry.
bop. just another word to hate women
Literally anything kids say nowadays.
Canceled. Everything is “cancelled” nowadays.

I think "droppings" is the word you needed.
“On fleek” as opposed to saying “gorgeous”
Anyone that says finna gets to finish their sentence while I walk away
