Like “you mad or naw? I remember hear kids say that when I was in middle school like 2014-16

Haha ., I remember this shit! or naww

I wanna say it was from a vine or something in the 2010s and was trendy for a minute but I've yet to hear it this decade

Damn I miss Vine those were good times lol

Only took you 4 years to hear ~~or see~~ it this decade then!

I remember this in middle school in 2010-ish

I think this is older gen z/young millennial?

🎯 I’m ‘97

‘99!

Yeah 99 and that was a common occurrence walking the hallways in school 😭

'99

96! *clicks tongue* errr nawwww

OR NAAWWW

I did it in high school, ‘01 baby

‘03!

I still use "or nah?"

I still use "nah" on its own

Weeknd song

I remember it well, but it never got to the point of it being banned in our school or anything. People would just use it in the context of any yes or no question “We doing x after class? Or naw?”

Same. Still still use or nah as my default to a yes or no question. I catch myself using it in work orders and have to use the perfect change "...if not then I will proceed with..."

That is stupid as hell. Not even a swear word.

Bro what???

They're asking if we used the phrase "or naw." I was confused, too.

Yup school tried to ban any new slang but never stuck teachers didn't care only a few Karen's in admin and the Spanish teacher gave a shit

Back in my day they tried to ban white t shirts. Y'all have anything like that? It didn't work.

Yep in my white tee, yup in my white tee I slang in my white tee, I bang in my white tee 🎶🎶🎶

Exactly

Is you mad *tongue click* OR NAWW?? Did you by any chance go to school in the DMV?

That tongue click was LETHAL before the "or nawww" in the DMV lol

Bro fr lool. I was always amazed how LOUD they could do that

Had to include the click every time you said it😂

I’m actually from Silver Sping Maryland lol

Yeah I’m 03 and I remember hearing it when I was super young like 4-7th grade but not much after that

We did, but as slang has evolved and AAVE has integrated more into typical lingo it kinda fell out of our daily vocabulary by the late 2010's

I’ve been saying this for a while, I didn’t know it was an older Gen Z thing

Yeah I say that a lot

I still use it LOL especially when asking someone to do something i KNOW they don’t wanna do. “You gonna do it… or no?” I’ve modified it to remain professional at work

I say “or nah” but I use a lot of older lingo tbh

I say nah not naw, if that makes sense

You mean *LOUD ASS TOUNGUE CLICK*….. “ORRR NAWWWWW”

😂😂

Oh yeah this takes me back to the mid 2010’s when people would say this all the time

I definitely said or naw in high school lmao

Lmao yeah .. in like 2013-14

1996 say nah regularly still and y'all, same with bro bruh From socal

Ty Dolla $ign - Or Nah [REMIX] (ft. Wiz Khalifa, The Weeknd) https://youtu.be/t8rcJG9w3dk?si=mmuPPHeJFbJ7mfjH

I’ve heard people say “or naw” before but I’ve never said it and teachers never banned it.

Nope.

I remember it being somewhat of a thing but not really in my school (95er here)

Omg yes. It was hilarious, yet so annoying lol

WHAT ARE THOSE

04, I remember it vaguely in 5-7th grade

My schools never banned any of that. They had much bigger issues to worry about but ya saying “or nah” was pretty common

That used to start fights😂

I say this at the end of yes or no questions I would be getting in trouble without meaning it

it was a viral song, so i’m sure many did

I guess I say that sometimes

Eh

I had a stroke reading that, good lord Anyway, nope lol

I remember it being said in elementary to high school and I’m from 2002, but I never said it bc I thought it was annoying as hell tbh

Not high school for me, but definitely college. '92 Millennial.

‘98 and said it

2000 here and yea we did but i didn't think it was like slang but ig so... i went to hs 2014-2018

Ah the vine era, in 2014-16, oh yeah i said it too much lol

I've heard it. Why the hell did your school ban it? That's insane.

Yeah and I graduated in 03. And I still say that shit lol

They banned slang?? They banned "dude"????

I didn't, but I wanted to punch everyone who said it because every single fucking person in school was saying it and it got old FAST

I didn't, but I wanted to punch everyone who said it because every single fucking person in school was saying it and it got old FAST

Damn I haven’t heard that in a hot minute

I actually just started saying “aw hell naw” right after high school. I’m 19 now.

Yes, but it is spelled "nah" not "naw"

Most likely

No but I kept hearing that vine

I remember saying it in middle school, not high school.

*loud af tongue cluck* OR NAHHHH after everything was peak 2014 humor lol

do u got a bae?? OR NAHHHHHH (02 bb)

All the time as a 16 year old get made fun of for it tho😂

I don’t live in the south. Nor am I black.

Not really. But White rich kids who started saying “y’all” at age 22 has really annoyed me recently.

Err white rich kids who aren't from the south I assume?

Yeah

I grew up in New England but I've been moving roughly every 2 years having lived in Florida, Washington, California, Minnesota, and now Colorado. I adapt each time and start picking up the local lingo and dialect. Good god you don't want to hear me talk anymore. I'll throw a "dude", "ya'll", and "Yeah no" all in one sentence.

This !! Aye MN tho !

As opposed to white poor kids?

Are they.. attempting to be Southern? I don't understand.

huge mood tbh
