Street talk can be words spoken by a very small group of people to be exclusive and communicate without others knowing what they are talking about.

Most street talk just dies - it trends then becomes un-cool - then dies.

Some examples:

A Thot is a hoe. Plural: Thotties

Some stupid stuff that people are saying now a days in abbreviated form

" That hoe over there "

The term itself is of urban origins translates to the acronym "That Hoe Over There."

Fred : Yo look at that chick by the stop sign shes fine as hell

Joe : Naw bruh leave her alone thats a thot

Some Definitions (Opinions) about Street Talk

2013-04-06T15:23:00.003-04:00

This is good or bad, classy or slutty, makes you smart or look like an idiot.

Everyone has an opinion.

One opinion in Urban Dictionary is

Street Talk = Idiotspeak

(n.) the language used by people who cannot type quickly and efficiently (or properly, for that matter) and therefore resort to making fools out of themselves.

Examples:

ogmz i sed yes of cors!
ur so hott
ya tel me wat ahppnd

omg i wuz lyke tlkn 2 u

i kno rite
One person's hip is another person's idiot.

Be careful where, when, how and why you use street talk, slang, idioms and expressions.
