"Seen" is increasingly popular amongst dem yoot over here, it's the Jamaican equivalent of the "I know, I know" nodded agreement and is cringe-worthy when uttered by white kids.
Also...
"Aaaahks" for "Ask". Again I think from Patois but makes the speaker seem... dense.
Also...
Contradictory ", doooooe." (", though.") applied to nearly every sentence, even statements (as seen on the Brit thread for humoricful effect and heard from the mowffs of the majority of state-educated schoolgirls, innit doooooe?)
I find this sort of thing fascinating! I watched this PBS documentary called Do You Speak American. Though it???s on the edge of boring, I recommend it for the information.
The kids here in Northern California say ???seriously??? a lot. I say it a lot, too. Seriously. I???ve also heard it modified to ???serially.??? Are you for serious? Are you for serial? Cereal? Is this everywhere now?
People here in IOWA have been saying this for a long time now. I think it???s funny actually.
It seems there???s been a resurgence of ???what up blood???? in my city.
Speaking of IOWA, I was just about to post almost the same thing about "hella." Kids there did and still say it with abandon. Having grown up with it, I'll even find myself saying it now and again.
hope to reason with you soon come

In Austin, you can pull a Ramonce Taylor (calling the cops on yourself), which is close to pulling a Tarrell Brown (getting arrested while asleep), which is close to having attended Benson's boat party (getting arrested claiming you're too famous to be arrested), which is close to pulling a Sergio Kindle (which used to be wrecking your car while texting, and is now knocking yourself out while asleep). which is close to getting Colt McCoy'ed (which is flat out getting yo ass knocked out the frame).
