I have never in my personal life or watching television or movies or reading books have i heard the phrase "I'm straight" to mean "I'm good/okay"

...Really?

I guess it is more of a black thing though.

Ok. It's still used that way all the time.

Hmmm, now that I think about it.

I wasn't in the hood.


Even then its been around so long you'd think the most affluent of suburbanites would have caught on by now lmao

And fuck, CE is going to overuse the shit out of it now that they've seen it.

I couldn't imagine someone never hearing that. Like, you'd have to either be 5 or have never left your house. Ever.

Not sure how anyone hasn't heard this.

But anyway, no, it is not offensive, regardless of context.

But it also shouldn't be a surprise if someone doesn't know what the fuck you're saying if you use the phrase.

Well it is surprising. Because it's common as fuck. Other people ITT feel the same way. I don't think it's a regional thing either because I'm from the south but I live in the west now and I say it all the time and nobody acts like they don't know what I'm saying when I do.

Even if youve never heard it before, context is obvious as fuck anyway.

Is it a mainland thing? It's not used that way in Hawai'i, nor in any media I've come across.
