It's not particularly clever or even erudite to talk like some knuckle dragger, despite it being the "in" thing, or, "an expression of the evolving language". Some influences to language are good and give it greater degree of expression and breadth of meaning. Others do nothing more than destroy the whole lexicon and bring it down to a level of expression and meaning which is just a tad above farce and depravity. It makes a joke of the language.

It's nothing more than the language of American "angry young man" urban gang "culture"...it's indicative of the standard of education and the economic/social circumstances they find themselves in. It's not our own general cultural experience and it's not wanted.
