Short for African American
Vernacular Language. AAVE has been around for decades, centuries even…black people have created our own words that have circulated around our own communities. Some may label AAVE as “slang” or “ghetto” but it’s simply the way we speak and pronounce words. When those who are
not black use AAVE, it’s very weird considering they are
copying our every move.
Examples of AAVE: Musty, Chile,
Ms girl, Deadass, Headass, cap, no cap, sis, pressed, finna, period/purr, asf, sus, stank, the gag, pop off, tea, trippin, hella, buggin, Tweakin, On my mama, Raw, real talk, snatched, gas/gassed/
