Homie said "gnarly" like anyone has used that word since the 80's. I've live in LA since the 90's. NOBODY says "gnarly".

Fer sure a good video. So Fuego.

That dark alley looks hella sketch dude

First of all we never say CALI! Some of these terms are from the 80,s/ 90,s. Words that are expired or only used by poseurs or tourists. Like, we don't have an accent!

Thanks! That was fun. I live in Boston and I love how laid-back your lingo is.

I had to go take a drug test at work because of my California drawl.

Dank is bad, and when you bonk it's been called Wipeout since 1962. Dope is new Yorker. Lit means wasted on drugs. Right on speaks for itself. Yeah no means no.

Filler words! Got ya!

1😂

meaning of romantic love depends on cuture amd over history meani g has changef d. so very amaturish view

Dude, dank is totally a weed reference.

Great job

Yeah no yeah dude I'm down for this hella sick lesson bru straight gnar fersher.

rip-peroni 🍕

Waouh très riche !!

I am aware this is to sleep too, but would be super helpful if the thai script was alot larger. Most English speakers would only need the phonetics small as easy to read. Thanks for the video ❤

Dude is truly universal

And the upward lilt and the end of sentences. I went to San Rafael? We had burritos?

Straw poll. If I said "Cali", I am most likely from: (1) SoCal (2) NorCal (3) From outside of California (4) No clear geography

I don't know why people think they can learn while sleeping 💤

I’m 32 grew up in OC. Probably similar age to this chap, the nostalgia I’m getting for high school ATM is wild. I don’t hear this slang as often these days just given the circles I’m typically in. I feel like I fkin know this dude… not because I actually do tho…. Gnarly

My analysis, this is Orange County surfer lingo. CA being as diverse as it is… a lot of folks around here wouldn’t use these words in such ways. Say for example your abuelita in Santa Ana, or your Unc in south central MAYYY not say, “The waves were dank today, except when Kyle got freakin shacked man… gnarly.”. But hey, I’m not trying to generalize or make it racial, but I kinda did sorry.

I'm from SoCal... NorCAL says 5 Freeway, SoCal says... THE 5 Freeway.

Yeah-no, for sure!

Im literally learning how to do my own accent XD

Jesus … I talk like this 😅

I feel like I've smoked weed with this guy. Probably right before he had the concept for this video..

idky this was recommended to me now but it was kinda funny lol. you can tell he grew up in a beach town in socal. i never think about which phrases i use is slang and snag was the one.

This is more SoCal than up north. In the Bay Area you don’t really hear people say “Cali” much. They are usually out-of-state people trying to sound with-it and cool. In fact, I’d say most natives and locals here find it somewhat annoying.

So cal here. Noone says pen/car dude. Hectic is not used for a good meal, it’s almost exclusively used for crazy/gnarly. Also don’t use carne asah dude. The rest of this is pretty spot on. In Laguna Beach we add in “Manly” which can be used for a lot of things. It can mean manly, but it can also be like - someone made an embarrassing attempt at something - that was sooo manly. Kind of like cool, even if the thing was ironically cool

Most so cal folks imitate the Latino swang and tawng. It's sounds like they have a Spanish speaking background but they don't. The english-Spanish speaking accent is so prevalent that most people imitate it subconsciousnely

“Hey Dude” “Cool”

SoCal native, never used dank or fuego. Only heard of gnarly by maybe one person when I was a kid. But everything else,,,I didn’t know these words weren’t universal lol

I wish the transliteration included tone marks for those who cannot read Thai script. Without them, the transliteration lacks value since it doesn't convey the tones.

Do we really say Cali? Because I'm from California, people here (Humboldt) don't say that, ever. Kindofa dead give away you aren't from here.

Dude, those of us born and raised in California. This is just in our speak the rest of the world copies us. Just saying. We are the kings of cool, man. Also explaining the many uses of all these words to a foreign exchange student in Hs was a challenge. They were floored dude.

Yeah your general California accent is down toned or maybe downplayed over time. We are the swing state between democracy and Republic and the accents are exemplary of this polarity. I guess what I'm trying to say is that the southern mixed elegantly with the northern accent and maybe that's played out in the surfer maybe it isn't maybe that's debatable. My family you know I respect their typical accent and it still plays out and be sometimes even for fun. ❤❤❤

You’re missing “righteous”

This is kind of pointless so I just stopped watching after a minute. Slang is learned only in context, not in a video.

As kids we began every sentence with, 'Hey man,'. Very early 60's excitement was 'twitchen'. Then advanced put downs were specified by, 'chop you low'. Then to teen years of cigarettes at the beach -more serious concerns like zits, 'Hey man, you got this Moby Zit in the middle of your forehead'. But hey it was 'casual'.

California is beautiful, and I don't care what other people think or say..

😅 there are more LA local lingos dude

Fur shur doo

Like that’s totally gnarly for sure, dude!

ADVERTS during a nightly listen video.....this is very BAD

I will never leave this beautiful state. 🌴 I grew up near the coast my whole life and still wear flip 🩴 flops every day. 🌴 "Gnarly" was a term used in the 70's, at least with my surfer friends, to describe a "radical" or not so smooth surf session. 🌊🏄‍♂️ Our phrase "for sure" has been replaced with "absolutely!" 😮 I'm not a fan of the latter. "Pure nectar" was said to describe a pretty female; typically one who sported a bikini 🏖 👙while walking along the Pacific Coast 🐬 alone. Beautiful, yet untouchable. Her beauty was something to be appreciated. ❤

This isn’t about california accents. This is about california colloquialisms or slang. Accents involve different pronunciations of globally used words based on geographically areas, for example, “mom” vs “mum”.

As a San Diegan this was lit 😂😂 you forgot Bomb!! Im 48 and and still say " Thats the Bomb!" Meaning ...its so good!!

I have spent the vast majority of my 60 plus years living in either NorCal or SoCal (note these terms, we use them). This dude is attempting to channel a SoCal surfer and much of the lingo he is using is SoCal surfer/doper lingo. Even though i grew up within 10 miles of the iconic SoCal beaches, I was not a surfer/doper and we didn’t use much of this lingo. One could identify a surfer by those words. “Dude” is very SoCal and not limited to surfers. Also, in reality one should also include a conjugation of the pseudoverb “fuck” after about every 4th word (for real), as in “Fuck dude, let me fuckin’ in, I gotta take a fuckin’ shit.” Watch the ‘80’s movie “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” for practical examples of the application of what surfer boy here is saying and then know if you walk around SoCal talking like that you will (1), get your ass kicked and (2), be laughed out of the room, even by the surfers and dopers. It’s like faking an Aussie accent - most who try to simulate one do so very poorly.

What is it with grown Americans having Second-Grade Penmanship?
