I’m getting better at understanding them

This modern slang is damn gibberish. Back in my day, at least our slang made some gramatical sense, it was simply noun replacement, and some adverbs/verbs. Now get off my lawn.
Cool beans man, cool beans
Pretty hip if I say so myself.
I used to be with it, but then they changed what it was. Now what I’m with isn’t it, and what’s it seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you!
Whatup dawg, I am fly as well!
Copacetic, one might even say
It isn’t gibberish and it makes grammatical sense. You just don’t understand the unspoken rules around the slang.
But sure grandma let’s get you to bed :P
It do be like that
Jive was the same way.
But do you speak jive?
I don’t speak it, but considering this scene from Airplane (1980) ( on YouTube ) I understood the whole conversation.
Of course this is Hollywood jive, and like other languages, it’s subject to regional vernacular variance which might be beyond me.
Lol that’s exactly what I was referencing, hell yeah
