    In what sense does spelling "Eyes" with a "z" constitute slang?? It's a matter of spelling and nothing else.

    <@Terra> he told me this, "man actually meeting terra is so fucking big", and he started crying. Then he bought me hot dogs

    Are you serious? LOL!
    As it is with all other slang, yet it's still being used isn't it? What do you make of Killa then?

    Thanks for the lesson though.

    Or tell me if I'm getting you wrong.

    Killa and Eyez are spelled with an "a" and a "z" at the end to represent a dialect in the spelling (although really, the "z" isn't needed since the sound is "z" regardless of spelling). In the end, the words still mean the same thing: literally Killer (adj) and Eyes. It is not slang.

    In any case, I didn't mean to derail. Should have said all that in my first post. Sorry.

    Edit to below: I'm not going to derail again. I already told you anyway , it's a matter of spelling.

    Slang would be more like calling eyes "peepers" or "dice" or something like that. It wouldn't even be a colloquialism or jargon, just a misspelling.

    But we get your intention.


    For God will not permit that we shall know what is to come... those who by some sorcery or by some dream might come to pierce the veil that lies so darkly over all that is before them may serve by just that vision to cause that God should wrench the world from its heading and set it upon another course altogether and then where stands the sorcerer? Where the dreamer and his dream?

    If someone asks you "are you Japanese?", would you respond with:
    chigaun desu, chigai desu, or chigau desu?
