    Yes definitely, that's the other main type of gen-z slang... Black gen-x slang. And it seems like even those borrowed terms lean towards the repurposed unfiltered ones. White programmers won't think of Black slang but eventually they'll get wise to it, unless it's too unique and risks overfiltering white boomers talking about their day.

    Also I can wager that a lot of that 80's California surfer lingo was ripped off from Hawai'i. California is the engine of Hawai'i's cultural influence on the wider United States

      You forgot Gen X 4chan slang. Idk how but incel terms are unironically mainstream now. I regularly hear "soy", "normie", "mewing", "mog", etc. IRL from pretty seemingly normal, well adjusted people. Both men and women like wtf

        I regularly say weeaboo if that counts. I think I sometimes say "my jimmies are rustled." Those are such ancient terms though I think the 4chan stink has faded.
