I mean in the sense of using the word jawn. Nobody uses jawn like that. And I mean no one that I know who uses it like that. It's just jawn. Like "hand me that jawn right there" or "u see that jawn" .. I have never heard anyone say "I'm going to the Rita's jawn"... "I'm going to a pizza jawn", imma "temple jawn" it doesn't even make sense. It's more like "I'm putting these jawns on a pizza", "hand me that jawn over there" I get what ur saying in proper English terms but this is a slang term.. people are just misusing it, where it's just becoming beyond cringe. Once the masses get a hold of things that have been around since my parents were little and probably before that, they end up ruining the shit.

ALSO ANYONE NATIVE FROM PHILLY DOES NOT CALL THEMSELVES A "JAWN" TF?

People have been saying jawn since the dawn of time in urban communities. So "jawn" is not dead.

But the people who are using it suburban white folk are forcing and using the term incorrectly where it's just becoming cringe!

LIKE YOU CANT USE A NOUN WITH A FUCKIN NOUN. TF IS A BAR JAWN AND A PIZZA JAWN?! FFS!!
