Can somebody explain "y'all can front if y'all want"?
edit: thanks for the replies. The differences in interpretations make me wonder why people don't just say "bluff" or "challenge me" or whatever the boss actually did mean to say. It seems like inventing slang has really accelerated in the last say 20 years. I hear so many more slang terms now. It's like everybody wants to make up their own language. Seems like non-inclusive behavior to me.
"Rebell at your own demise"
To front someone is to face them, to challenge them. This basically said "you challenge me to fire you? Challenge accepted."
I thought it was about 'putting up a front', trying to act tough without expecting blowback.
Ah, or that
Others mentioned front is slang. Easiest definition is just a bluff. "Yall can bluff if yall want," because they called the bluff
Pretty sure it's short for confront, at least that's how it's commonly used.
