Authors using local slang in dialogue

Irvine Welsh is my king for this one. had to use the dictionary in the back of Trainspotting to understand half the things people said while reading it for the first time. When I write my Philly-based autofiction masterpiece, I swear a white woman will order an “es-puh-loan sowduh” out at the club Edit: ig it’s local dialect, not just slang

Rejecting the “you’re not a vibe bro” mindset

you can be a vibe if you want to! wear those oversized jeans you don’t know if you suit! light your cigs with a box of matches! play chess in a field with your friend! every time you do something like that and you don’t give a fuck, you get a little bit closer to having the best vibe out there
