A word which translates to "you know what I mean?" originating from the hyphy movement in the Bay Area. Popularized by Nation of Thizzlam Ministers E-40 and Keak Da Sneak, it has become a new dialect of ebonics.
I was born in raised in the now-called "yay" area.
It's all bullshit and I can't wait until it passes.
Me: "Who the hell uses 'yadadamean' in actual language?"
My classmate: "I do, all the time."

Yadadamean
Yay Area (Bay Area) Slang for "You know what I mean?"
The word was first brought to us in another form by East Coast Rappers Raekwon the Chef (and Im sure many cats off the streets broke it out first) by saying NAWMEAN? (Know what I mean?) Which is the same ish!
Bay Area slang for, "You know what I mean?"
Popularized by the hyphy movement, but in my opinion, comes originally from thick spanish accents. I had a landlord in San Jose who would say it constantly and I don't think he was into hyphy...
