Slang of the Week - Real Talk

The week’s slang is real talk. No, its not new. Fabolous did an album called Real Talk, with that awesome track Breathe, 4 years ago. And I know the term has been around longer than that. (btw Fab, the streets is hurting for another single) The point is, it’s underutilized and maybe a perfect fit for your next staff meeting.

re·al talk [ree-uhl tawk, reel tawk] -noun, -adverb
-noun
1. the honest truth, often used for emphasis: Nick needs a new haircut - and that’s real talk!
-adverb

2. seriously,
in a serious manner: Yo, real talk, your breath is stank.

[Origin: unknown; see Truth, On The Real]
