Can you give me an example of the first two points? I haven't encountered that colloquialism yet. I've heard "a hot minute," which is clearly a just a figure of speech and would be absurd to ridicule, but it sounds like you're talking about something else. I just don't understand the second. I'm absolutely certain there's some slang being used in circles I don't frequent, so I'm not questioning you, I'm just curious. What's the hip new slang, dog?
I admit to using amaze-balls. So does my wife, sometimes. It's an amaze-balls term.
Millennials?
The second one I get the closer I am to inner city areas. The first I have been hearing more in suburban areas and outside of the inner city regions that it originated.
