I remember talking to a friend of a friends named Shay. She always said ‘word’ as a response to things.

Amanda: Tell her why you say “word” so much.

Shay: It’s what I use when I don’t know what to say.

She was cool, but a little slow. I remember saying something jokingly about being raised by carnies, and she got offended in a way that made me consider the idea that I probably offended someone who was genuinely raised by carnies.
