The girl using the street words of mouth is perfectly fine! That diss is, though, very false:
this is the hood speak of gangs everywhere:
”Though the term may have been in use in an isolated manner in different contexts earlier in English, its current usage and popularity derives from its use in Philadelphia's Italian American population in the twentieth century, which spread to other ethnic groups in the city, notably among Philadelphia African Americans, and later spread beyond Philadelphia.
From the late twentieth century, it frequently appeared in hip hop music and became associated with African American Vernacular English.”
Do better!
