"I feel you"


Recommended Posts

I'm seeing this phrase way too much lately, notably on our "local" NextDoor Queen for a Day begging for money site. Is it an evolutionary branching in our language? Is it new? How much does leaving out "for" save? Am I a stegosaurus? If so do I have to call my tail a Thagomizer? EMWTK.

My usual response to that phrase is “Don’t be touching me now.”   It’s so annoying.  But it’ll be gone and replaced by something else in a decade anyway.  Probably something worse…

Then you probably are unaware of "rizz" or "drip".

I don’t know about “rizz” , but antibiotics will cure the “drip”.

I thought "I feel you" was a response the the question "you feel me?", meaning "you understand what I'm saying?" or "catch my drift?"

Yeah, like the regional "I smell your fart" or "NoWhatImSayin'", or "I grok".

I'm still sick of the term "my bad". It just won't go away! 😡

My bad, I didn't knows we stopped saying dat.

OP, your main problem is you are on ND.  Before they banned me, I gots tired of all the lost dog posts. Second would be the requests of digital panhandling.

You feel me?

It has and continues to puzzle me why otherwise intelligent, literate people believe that emulating the language and behavior  of ghetto Africans is somehow desirable.

:upeyes:

Yo fool, I speaks Ebonics (not to be confused with jive).    I had to learn a second language.

Ebonics was created in 1973 by a group of black scholars who disapproved of the negative terms being used to describe this type of language.

So this is an artificial creation to make illiterates justified in not knowing their own country's proper grammar and English.:abovelol:

Noim Sayn?

 

(I sometimes use "my bad".  It just seems to fit)

(How about "it's to die for." ?)
