wasn’t deep or nun, lowkey just wanted to help, learned this terminal thingy here fs

I have a system prompt for haiku to convert messages to genz slang. I use it to confuse friends with it sometimes and we have a laugh. I had the instructions somewhere stored and just wanted to rewrite them before posting them here because I am paranoid and did not remember if i posted them verbatim in another place with another username.

I know this is not really the place for this sort of thing, but if some people smiled a bit I am good with that

Totally off topic, but it's funny how much of "modern" slang (whatever the generation) is present in hip hop culture years before. I noticed that when "twerk" became a thing; I remembered songs about twerking from years before that.

In this case, the term "bet": I remembered hearing that for the first time in the late 1980s in a song by Fresh Prince (Will Smith): "... bet, well let's go then..." (As We Go, 1988)

That is because most American slang derives originally from black and LGBT culture, specifically African American Vernacular English.
