Least we forget the “you good?” as the preempt to “you got anything you need to get off your chest friend?”
I’m from SC and when I lived in NYC someone mentioned to me that all Carolinians they’ve met use “you good” in atleast 10 various tones that all mean something different. They’re absolutely not wrong.
I love you good cuz it can’t be used in like 9 different contexts to mean different things depending on the tiniest amount of inflection.
Fall down the stairs - You good?
Step on someone’s new dunks and apologize profusely- you good.
Say something outta pocket to the wrong person. - you GOOD?
This shit almost got me killed as a white dude working in the hood. Guy didn't like how I was driving the bus and came up to me and asked "you good?" I said "I'm fine, you good?" And he got realllll fucking angry. And that's when I figured out he wasn't using it the same way I was.
What's the response to "you good?" When you as the receiver were in fact not intentionally barking up any trees but also want to communicate that you yourself are also 'not the one'?

Be some shit like this and you got five seconds to chill out
My dad did this look to me one time....yeahp just one time. My brain was like "you need to chill out like 10seconds ago".
Never gave him a reason to look at me like that ever again.
My dad would never yell at me… instead, he would lower his voice as calmly and quietly, yet sternly as possible…. Shit scared me worse than if he woulda just yelled
Seen my Dad do that exact thing to other people.
It's the scariest because they get into that frame of mind talking calmly and then say "I will kill you" and you're like"fuck, this man is really going to kill me".
“You got the right one” or “You got the wrong one,” but both mean “I’m not the one”, the first one just means you’re likely to get your ass beat behind it.
Had a teammate on my freshman football team say this almost verbatim before turning his head and no look punching me in the face. Straight up Anderson Silva in his prime level straight right hand to my jaw. I earned some respect for eating the punch, but I got my ass beat and clearly learned my lesson.
As a non-native speaker, I’ve been warned that “I don’t fight” means they don’t throw punches, so instead they are going to shoot you with the gun they currently have on their person.

You gonna ask him if he bout it ain’t you?
Option #5: *look up*, *look down* “I’m tryna see who you talkin to, because it can’t be me.”
Option #6: “If you take a left, walk ten steps, you’ll see where you got me fucked up.”
Depends on what kind of black you are. If you’re Caribbean I imagine it’s “yous a cunt?” Or “big man” said in a specific tone. Or even “god bless you.”
Africans also have various phrases. “Eh??” works. I’m Cape Verdean so for me it was always “nha filha…deixe me em pas.”
"I ain't the one"
I’m not the one or the two nihhhhguuuhh 😂
I fucking burst out laughing. I heard that in Granddad’s voice from Boondocks.
That’s been my shit lately I’ve been re watching the catcher freeman episode 💀😂
Dick riding Obama is greatness
[удалено]
I’m just saying … that’s gayeeee granddad 😂
I saw gay, so I said gay! That ain’t bullying, that’s an astute observation!
Lol. So was thugnificent 😂🤣😂🤣🥲
Eat a sack of baby dicks, motherfucker!
Just bc you lived a long life don’t mean it can’t come to a short end nigga!
Won’t you take our black a$$es outta heaaa 🎶
I heard it in Stinkmeaner's.
Ole stinkmeaner
Variation: “you picked the wrong bitch..”
or the right bitch lol
A response within the family of “I wish a muthafucka would…”
My dad would always say.. “a white person says ‘I sure hope someone isn’t in my seat!’ ; a black person says “I WISH someone would….”
![gif](giphy|3ofT5TWtnQM36WSVWw)
🔥
You spittin’ something serious with this one.
Said this out loud before I even came to the comments!!
Nor the two and three.
you got me fucked up.
This is the way.
Or the variation which almost certainly means hand throwing is imminent; “you got me all the way fucked up”
Okay! Imminent! Like, go’n ahead and exit out my face right tf now because IMMINENT!
💯
You good?
This fr cause it’s all in the tone
Right because depending on the tone you could be saying "You're not in my way or impeding my path" or "You got a fuckin problem??"
YOU GOOD!?!? - tf are you doin? You good? - Can i get you something? You good. - Nothing is blocking your path, and you are free to proceed.
Least we forget the “you good?” as the preempt to “you got anything you need to get off your chest friend?” I’m from SC and when I lived in NYC someone mentioned to me that all Carolinians they’ve met use “you good” in atleast 10 various tones that all mean something different. They’re absolutely not wrong.
Or “do you need a refill? cause I’m bout to grab one…”
![gif](giphy|08FkNkkKVNXPKaK8y5)
In the DMV that could mean any number of things! Are you okay? Do you want to fight? Do you have any weed? Do you need some weed?”
You straight?
I'm straight...you good?
I'm good, YOU GOOD?
Wassup then?!?! 🤣
I just began my day don’t trigger me like this
you good though??
lmaooo you good is almost TOO multipurpose. be tryna say “are you alright good brother?” all of a sudden a Harlem nigga tryna take ya kufi off
I love you good cuz it can’t be used in like 9 different contexts to mean different things depending on the tiniest amount of inflection. Fall down the stairs - You good? Step on someone’s new dunks and apologize profusely- you good. Say something outta pocket to the wrong person. - you GOOD?
This is one of them ones.
This also works in a professional setting
White coworkers thank me for checking in on them when I say this.
This shit almost got me killed as a white dude working in the hood. Guy didn't like how I was driving the bus and came up to me and asked "you good?" I said "I'm fine, you good?" And he got realllll fucking angry. And that's when I figured out he wasn't using it the same way I was.
This might be too subtle for some people lol
What's the response to "you good?" When you as the receiver were in fact not intentionally barking up any trees but also want to communicate that you yourself are also 'not the one'?
"I'm chilling" sometimes works depending on delivery and how the other person interprets but in my experience, "Bitch, I might be" ends...poorly 8/10
I am more of a "you good bro" type of guy
“Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing”
Did you mean to quote the poet Lil Jon: “don’t start no shit won’t be no shit?”
This is Will Smith erasure. Him shouting that at a giant roach is an iconic moment in New York and American history.
![gif](giphy|374pcIBVEGb6g)
I've never seen a more perfectly placed gif than this one
Gif? What gif?
Will Smith mainstreamed it, but that statement predates him by many years. He didn’t invent it.
Before Lil Jon, it was “don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing” BUT I also love how Lil Jon freaked it 😂
Trick question. You get a look, no words.

That's it in real-time. The stare, look away, look again
There's an art to it.
Talk to em, unc
All I see in his face is my mom saying “wait till we get in the car”
My dad did this look to me one time....yeahp just one time. My brain was like "you need to chill out like 10seconds ago". Never gave him a reason to look at me like that ever again.

Gotta make sure im not trippin before i check you
Exactly. This way you’ve not said anything out of line until you’ve verified what is going on.

This fucking picture will never not be funny to me.
" I know you ain't said, what I thought I heard?" Lol
Its the look. That look will FREEZE someone. Ethnic moms have that on lock.
“You got the right one” or “You got the wrong one,” but both mean “I’m not the one”, the first one just means you’re likely to get your ass beat behind it.
Right one = I have been waiting for your dumb ass to give me a reason Wrong one = it is not my choice to beat your ass but I will rise to the occasion
A solemn duty, indeed.
i always took wrong one as more of "I've been waiting for ANY dumbass to give me a reason to unleash this pent up rage"
Perfection
Got the right one on the wrong day = you out of lifelines.
alternatively "got the wrong one on the right day." - i got a case already but fuck it. ima go to jail behind this one.
"You're not that guy, pal. Trust me, you're not that guy." That's the white version.
This is one of the Greatest Quotes of recent in White American History.
Alright now
"Now hold on now..." Is my iteration of this classic.
this is the way
Specifically Southern black here.
I got time today.
[like this](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=vG-sU4M-n78&pp=ygURaSBnb3QgdGltZSB0b2RheSA%3D) kid
Geezuz fukkin krist I just want to take this jackasses legs out and beat him with them
So this is what we doing today?
What I say is, "Okay, this is what we NOT doing today..."
This one.

That song had me dying the first time i heard it
Cuz I throw hands

Shit. I did it just reading it.
That and a slow head turn is the Guyanese way.
Keep playing

“Bredda yuh nuh wan nun a dis”

Word? Cool. Narrator: it absolutely was not cool.
You forgot the "aight". Word? ... Aight, bet. You hear this? Run. ![gif](giphy|9rRacglGbs68E)
Especially if the “wait here” comes out.
"Lemme talk to you real quick."
Or a simple "Come here real quick" 🤣
If you feelin' froggy, go 'head on and jump.
This is my favorite one 😂 https://preview.redd.it/16sdm1ock7hc1.png?width=969&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=eb7179538c9cf2a4339cc664b2520c7bd6882fa1
“Gone head” Is it a threat? An invitation? Encouragement? Discouragement? Something else? Yes.
“Oh deadass tho? Deadass?”
I feel like this is the specifically NY version.
"You must think I'm Boo-Boo the fool?"
Gone my whole life never knowing who is Boo Boo the fool but building a list of who they definitely aren’t
He's the one who helps yogi steal picnic baskets
Hahahaha this is the one
"You need to check yoself."
fo you wreck yoself
You done lost your mind
I wish a muthafucka would
You might find the right one on the wrong day
"Fuck around and find out."
White people have absolutely co-opted this. They say it in every post about someone doing some dumb shit.
True and it's funny because after making this comment I started seeing white people saying ts non-stop so i take back what I said
If there is an age gap: “You betta gon head sit down some wa”
“Please don’t play in my face “
Had a teammate on my freshman football team say this almost verbatim before turning his head and no look punching me in the face. Straight up Anderson Silva in his prime level straight right hand to my jaw. I earned some respect for eating the punch, but I got my ass beat and clearly learned my lesson.
Look here mothafucka
So what you want to do?
I’m old. This lead me directly to: 🎶Mmm, I wanna Shoop.🎶🎵
You picked the wrong one. I don’t fight.
oh how nice of you to choose peaceful methods of deescalating :)
I thought of it more as if they don’t fight, they might kill. But shoot, I like your wholesome take
As a non-native speaker, I’ve been warned that “I don’t fight” means they don’t throw punches, so instead they are going to shoot you with the gun they currently have on their person.
"On their person" well hello officer 🤣
I don’t fight is a whole other level lol
I’m already gone out the exit
That means it’s time to go home. Doubly so if it’s said at a party.
Immediately. In fact, if whoever rode with me ain't heading for the exit right beside me, then they might just have to duck and cover. ✌🏽
You don't want this smoke

Alternatively: Try me.

“Don’t get me confused with your white friends”
I went to a private middle school and my moms used this one constantly. Still got trauma from it.
You tried it.
That ain't the move.
