I just checked Urban Dictionary, and here's what it has to say:

My god I’m so out of touch.

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@lemmy.world 14 points 6 months ago (2 children)

I've just embraced it and will shamelessly look it up like the old person I've become.

To be fair, "cuh" has been a crip/gang thing for a very long time.

I think I’m going to start doing that. Might give me something to do on the days when the adderall is kicking my ass and I need a distraction. Just deep-dive all of the urban slang that exists.

[–] Psychodelic@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

That seems a little extreme. You don't have to look up all slang, just looke things up as needed

Abbreviation of on god?

Wtf is on god? What kind of rabbit hole have I fallen into!?

[–] Kiosade@lemmy.ca 3 points 6 months ago

The kids use it instead of “i swear to god”. Just to be different I guess.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

It's a variation of "I swear to God", which is ironic because Jesus said not to do that.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago

You probably just didn't grow up in the hood. I'm middle aged and knew exactly what it was, because I heard it all the time growing up.

Smoke some bowls and it’ll make more sense
