Landon Barker reveals his favorite SoCal slang
During the same interview, Landon Barker opened up about his favorite slang. The host questioned, "Hey, it’s Landon Barker, and here’s some of the slang I used growing up."
The GenZ star said, "The first one is ‘bet' I’m sure it’s, like, a lot of people say it, that just means, OK, instead of saying, OK, you say bet."
He added, "The second one is 'for sure' It’s more of like a texting one, but it’s spelled F-S-H-O, like, Fa sho. Whenever I’m talking to my friends or talking to my dad, or somebody about working, like, at the studio, I’ll just say, 'The Stu,' like, S-T-U.
So those are my three slang words that I use a lot."
