[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was a play on the water bottle brand "aquafina".[/quote] Me too! Never occurred to me that it was anything else until I clicked here. I also don’t understand what it means to “talk black”? Some accused my kids of this but really I see it as GenZ slang because ALL their friend speak the same way regardless of race or ethnicity (which covers all of them I think!). All tweens and teens in DC use the same slang and speech patterns, in my experience.[/quote] Hello from above the rock you live. It’s called aave or Ebonics aka blaccent. It’s complicated. This whole thing is complicated. Americans are race obsessed. It’s also crazy how even talking about this is uncomfortable for people. We have truly gone down hill as a county if we can’t just openly talk things without massive outrage and everyone crying.[/quote]
