"fo" english slang Hello !
My question is only about a comment I saw on a picture. I usually understand English pretty well and the thing is that I have absolutely no idea what this sentence means :
"bad boys and girl fo like soon!"
I guess I don't get the "fo"... And it's making me really curious !
Thank you

Re: "fo" english slang I understand less than you do. "fo like soon" is incomprehensible. Is it the type of picture you could post?

In any case, saying any of the above will make most people sound ridiculous.

Re: "fo" english slang I don't know whether it is cool or not, I have never used such words and perhaps I am never going to use them. But you learn a lot of things from Eminem's songs... Originally Posted by freezeframe Yeah but it's not "cool" anymore.

Threadstarter / Original Poster Re: "fo" english slang Well I prefer not to post it but it's just a picture with a few people in it, 3 boys and one girl. One of them commented saying that they looked like bad boys. And the other one just replied that...
If it means "for", I am thinking that maybe he meant "and girl for IT like soon" ? It could mean the girl on the picture was going to turn "bad" a few minutes after the picture was taken ?

Teacher Re: "fo" english slang Well, if it's something you'd prefer not to post and if the boys are that bad... Originally Posted by windingroads
