Nathan is one of my favorite pieces of slang that I picked up while living in the FTC house junior year. My roommate was a complex character named J Feezy. A Pittsburgh native, Feezy was always hip to the next big vernacular craze. If anyone had lingo, it was him. I’m not sure, but Nathan may have been his magnum opus, a creation all his own. This is an advanced term, it invariably leads to raised eyebrows and convoluted explanations. Casual use with the uninitiated is not recommended.
