Jit in Florida was one of the few good examples, the youth jails are called jit camps. Michigan was so under-represented but it's a state that's dramatically different depending where you live. In Michigan people tend to add an s at the end of companies named after someone. 'Fords', 'Meijers' etc.

Exactly. “Boy bye” is not slang 🙄

[@marrymeyumeko3347]

Av ゲーマー exactly

[@johannsebastianbach3411]

lol, when you don't know whether it's should've or should of, so you use both :D

[@GUMMYBEAYUH]

They should've gone with even older folks, actually, because so many people communicate and move outside their native communities nowadays whereby a lot of slang is just crossing boundaries.

[@fern7988]

GUMMYBEAYUH older folks only know older slang, that’s why they didn’t use them. It wouldn’t be up to date

[@redbeard4889]

More than half of Washingtonians were not born in Washington, so not surprising that a non-Washingtonian is representing us. He seems very Californian. They make up 9% of us so not that much of a shot in the dark.

[@farajaraf]

Gonna start using bless your heart.

[@ericalong2826]

Authentic Oregon coast slang term “burn off”. So we’d say “oh the fog’ll burn off and then we’ll go outside n play” meaning that in the mornings when it’s chilly, there’s a thick layer of marine fog but then it will go away when the sun warms up. Some places in Oregon have a slight California valley girl twinge, other places slightly have a mid-west influence in a similar way that Washington does. My family in Washington definitely says “warsh” and we all grew up saying “pop” lol

[@bridget3105]

washington dude: that’s hella gnar gnar in the pow pow, that’s hella gnarly in the powdered snow me: excuse me what

[@fisforfriday]

[@ally9335]

[@cassiemonica1]

I lived in flagstaff Arizona for a bit and a lot of the snowboard slang included the word gnar. But it would be like “are we going to go shred the gnar after class? “ Hella is totally a northern Cali thing too. Hecka for my religious friends.
