This is a topic I like as I have a teenager and try to understand her and her “lingo.”
Jorden, my daughter and I will be having a conversation and she will use slang all the time. One example is she is on the phone with her girlfriend and she will say, Julie is such a WANKSTA. When she gets off the phone I go, What is a WANKSTA? She tells me that her friends call Julie that because she tries to act tough and she is really an emotional roller coaster. Then I looked it up on the internet to find out that it was developed by a “rap song.” So, if teens are using rap song slang in real life, then maybe parents need to be up on the latest rap music our kids listen to. My daughter makes fun of the type of music I listen to for example, I love The Carpenters and the Bee Gee’s. I can guarantee you that their no slang in those songs.
The song where WANKSTA came from:
Intro: 50 Cent]
It’s 50 a.k.a Ferrari Fuck-50
Break it down
I got a lot of living to do before I die
And I ain’t got time to waste
Let’s make it
[50 Cent]
You said you a gangster but you never pop nuttin’
We said you a wanksta and you need to stop frontin’
You ain’t a friend of mine, (yeah)
You ain’t no kin of mine, (nah)
What makes you think that I wont run up on you with the nine
We do this all the time, right now we on the grind
So hurry up and copy and go selling nicks and dicks
Shorty she so fine, I gotta make her mine
A arss like that gotta be one of a kind
I crush ‘em everytime, punch ‘em with every line
I’m fucking with they mind
I make ‘em press rewind
They know they can’t shine if I’m around the rhyme
Been on parole since 94 cause I commit the crime
I send you my line, I did it three to nine
If D’s ran up in my crib, you know who dropping dimes
[Chorus 2X: 50 Cent]
You said you a gangsta
But you never pop nothing
We said you a wanksta
And you need to stop frontin’
You go to the dealership
But you never cop nuttin’
You been hustling a long time
And you ain’t got nothing
[Verse 2]
Damn Homie, in high school you was the man, homie
What the fuck happened to you?
I got the sickest vendetta when it come to the chedda
And if you play with my paper, you gotta meet my berretta
Now shorty think I’m a sweat her, sipping on amaretto
I’m living once than deada, I know I can do better
She look good but I know she after my chedda
She tryna get in my pockets, homie and I ain’t gonna let her
Be easy, stop the bullshit, you get your whole crew wet
We in the club doin’ the same ol’ two step
Guerrilla unit cause they say we bugged out
Cause we don’t go nowhere without toast we thugged out
[Chorus 2X]
[Verse 3]
Me I’m no mobsta, me I’m no gangsta
Me I’m no hitman, me I’m just me, me
Me I’m no wanksta, me I’m no acta
But it’s me you see on your TV
Cause I hustle baby, this rap shit is so easy
I’m gettin’ what you get for a brick to talk greasy
By any means, partner, I got to eat on these streets
If you play me close, for sure I’m gonna pop my heat
Niggas saying they going murd’ 50, how?
We riding ’round with guns the size of Lil Bow Wow
What you know about AK’s and AR 15‘s?
Equipped with night vision, shell catchers and F-bangs, huh
[Chorus 2X]

Since I am a Security Guard I have to learn many of the police codes, lingo, and or jargion and they are considered
“slang.”

Me I’m no mobsta, me I’m no gangsta
gangster, O.K. but mobster?
My son is 9 and he comes up with words and phrases that I’ve never heard. He also tells jokes he learned at school that make me wonder if I would have a clue about when I was nine.
Stop growing up so fast, son. For my selfish sake, be 9 forever.
Great post, remember mine as teenagers, the most wonderful time for me was to see them becoming who they wanted to be. M
That is so funny … but I must I like the slang frontin’ as it covers a lot of territory.

I’ve never heard anyone use the word Wanksta … howver wanker, I’ve heard plenty times. Good post.
I remember when people first started using the word “Wanksta”. I was always told it meant someone who was a Wanna be gangsta….therefore, a Wanksta.
It wasn’t that long ago really since I used a lot of the popular slang but now I catch some of my younger nieces saying stuff and I am like, what is that?!
