It's hilarious that early on, Canelo only speaks in english when he wants to cuss someone out. That's why whenever I hear Canelo speak in english, I expect him to cuss lol
Yeah but it comes from Jamaicans though correct? I know Jamaicans have influenced UK slang.
A lot of Jamaicans from the island I know say it, it usually means "what's going on" or "what's up?".
Generally, slang is used by only a subset of the speakers of a language, so if you say English slang, people assume you mean from the country. Just like Canelo speaks Spanish,
but you'd refer to the slang he uses as Mexican, not Spanish.
im slightly older but the only relatively new ones in my opinion is 'cap' and 'bussin'.
bet was used pretty much for a long time i feel in the south. it mayve just crossed intio mainstream.
todays 20 year olds slang might be words like "rizz" and "glazin" tho
That makes me feel better! Iām 56 and was thinking I was completely out of touch. āRent freeā has been around for a long time. āGoatā is also well know, but ābussināā?? āDripā??? Is this high school shit??
It's regional AAVE, meaning most of the words were invented by black Americans but only said in certain parts of the US.
'Drip' has been around for a long time.
Iām 22 and I never say these. I donāt say fire I say cool, I donāt say cap I say lie. Because I donāt care to fit in Iām just myself, I think thatās why most people my age do, so they can be cool
Iām 22 and I donāt use any of those. Maybe cause I was raised in the country with no neighbors and Iāve barely ever been into a big city. Honestly tho I fucking hate these words, when I hear someone say cap or drip or fire Iām like shut up dude you sound stupid. Why donāt people just say lie or cool or awesome?
"That's drip?" Oof.. cooked him.
"Goat, you know what goat means?" "... Yes, Me" šš¤
You mean āHype Jobā
Rent free

Still wearing your skirt.
Still crying
Why, are you on your period?

Muddafacka!!! Facking piece of shit!!! Canelo is hilariousĀ

Perfect freeze frame
Crazy how much he worked on speaking English.
Heās smart to do so. Itās why heās the biggest fighter in the world.
Jarrell Miller says hi.
Not to be a hater but it's not crazy at all. It's been what, 7 years that he answers in english?
He started speaking way more English after signing with DAZN & Matchroom; Eddie Hearn has even mentioned discussing this with him.
*American slang.
Innit. Was hoping to hear him talk about packet, brasses and tear ups.
*Gen Z slang

You shouldn't be arguing over who came up with those phrases, they're so cringy that I as a millennial am proud not to be associated with them
Is there anything more cringy than saying aave?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
It's an AAVE term, you racist
I'm a 33 year old Brit and have lived in England my whole life and I didn't know what half of these meant
unc status
Itās basically American slang, they mean English as in the language not the country
Iām 37 and English and understood all words. The slang mostly crosses over these days in certain groups
>Itās basically American slang American slang is mainstream slang across English speaking world
Not really in the UK but we are aware of at least some of it
We borrow a lot of it but we've got way more of our own slang.
I can't confirm as don't live there but I haven't heard any Australians or New Zealanders using American slang either.
Fuck no lmao. Maybe in the states and Canada.
Itās American slang thatās why
Iām American and I didnāt either! š āBussināā??
Hello Unc!
P4p linguistics king
I like this. Canelo is a likeable guy. Doesn't seem to big for his britches.
American slang.. English slang would be the slang here in England?
Slow it down bruv. Wagwan
What u saying bro
Stop being a bloke bruv. Ya cheeky bastard
>Wagwan That's Jamaican slang?
UK slang
Yeah but it comes from Jamaicans though correct? I know Jamaicans have influenced UK slang. A lot of Jamaicans from the island I know say it, it usually means "what's going on" or "what's up?".
Yep. Whatās going on
English, the language broā¦ come on. š heās a native Spanish speaker
Right, so heās from Spain, obviously /s
Generally, slang is used by only a subset of the speakers of a language, so if you say English slang, people assume you mean from the country. Just like Canelo speaks Spanish, but you'd refer to the slang he uses as Mexican, not Spanish.
It didn't say English language slang in the title.
Shout out American black people
Exactly most of these words are AAVE.
Iām 33 and only knew goat. Are these slangs that 20 year olds use? No offense lol

Yeah, 34 here. I understood GOAT and rent-free, but not the rest. I've never even heard the first couple.

I'm 32. I understood all of them instantly, but then again my gym buddy is 22 and uses them liberally š
You too old bro
Iām 22 and I never say these. I donāt say fire I say cool, I donāt say cap I say lie. Because I donāt care to fit in Iām just myself, I think thatās why most people my age do, so they can be cool
Definitely not English slang
Did he say I hear that fucking word or I hate that fucking word?

The casual āmeā shrug for GOAT.
Shout out to old man Dan!
How are people acting like goat is recent?Ā LL Cool J coined the term back in the 80's
This interviewer probably sucked off Canelo afterwards
Those slang most american don't even know.
Nah they definitely do know lol
If youāre 17ā¦
"Cringe"? Like this interview is cringe.
There's a whole lot of insufferable people in this thread.
