How can you be here in America and you don't know none of these slang words?

Imagine you outside in the streets and someone is using these words.

You're going to be confused.

You're going to be like, what is he or she even saying?

And so in today's video,

I'm going to show you these 10 different hood slang words that you should know in America in 2026.

Let's get it.

Gang.

Welcome back to another episode of English with Collins.

Happy New Year again.

Now guys, I know it's been a while since I've made videos on American hood slang.

And the reason is, like I told you guys already, my main focus for this channel is to help people improve in their pronunciation skills.

Not teaching them about hood.

The hood is just that fun stuff that once in a while I like to throw in and just, you know, spice things up a bit.

but the main goal is I want to help you master American English pronunciation

so if you're someone who's struggling with pronunciation issues

and you want to learn how to pronounce English words better click the link down below

and get that course I just created a brand new course

that teaches that so go ahead and check that out

but let's get back to the video let's start off with the very first hood slang word

that you should know in 2026 number one 12 or 5-0.

12 or 5-0 is used specifically when we're talking about police.

So if we're talking about police or we're talking about the feds, FBI, CIA, anything that involves with law enforcement,

we call them 12 or 5-0.

5-0 is much more of an older term that is used by the previous generation from us, right?

So if you're, I think it's, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know if it's millennials.

I don't think it's millennials or baby boomers.

They usually, during that time, they used to call police officers 12 or 5-0.

So that's a term that they used to use for them, right?

So 12, 5-0, or 5-0 is honestly talking about the police.

So for example, if someone says, hey, yo, 12 just pulled up, meaning 12 or the police just arrived

or a o 12 on the move meaning the police are going somewhere

or the police are heading somewhere you see what i'm saying

so 12 is the first slang word now the second slang word

that a lot of people are using nowadays is crash out

crash out here's the meaning the meaning of crash out is to lose control emotionally

or to do something reckless so someone comes up to you

and be like yo he crashing out right now man yo she's spazzing

or sorry oh or she crashing out that means

that this person has completely lost emotional control

and they're going crazy they're going ballistic right

so an example of this in a sentence could be he

crashed out over something small he crashed out over something small meaning

that he crashed out over something small he lost meaning

that he lost emotional control over this little thing you see

what i'm saying the third slang word is on timing on timing on timing means perfect moment right exactly

when it should happen like

if you hear someone say on time like you on time right you on time

if someone says you on time and that's kind of like saying

that you know you showed up exactly the moment you showed up exactly in the moment

that you need to show up right on timing is not necessarily fully a slang word

but like i said i hear a lot of people use it in various different ways

so i decided to throw

that in there right a clear example for this is you

call me right on time you call me right on time

and right now that's that's a different kind of slang term

you know i'm saying you call me right on timing meaning

that you call me at the perfect moment motion motion motion is a different slang word motion means making money progress

or moving smart so if you hear someone say

but he got motion meaning that he's making money he has a whole lot of progress

and he is moving smart right or they really got motion right now

which means they're making a lot of money

or they somebody could be like yo collins got motion meaning

that collins got a lot of money collins is making progress

he got motion you know some good timing you feel me he on timing meaning

that you see what i'm saying like he's doing what he's supposed to to be doing, right?

So far, let me throw a quick challenge for you.

Pause this video real quick.

And I want you to put together a quick small paragraph using these slang words so far that I've taught you.

Let's do that.

The next one is stand on it.

Stand on it.

Stand on it means don't back down.

Keep your word, right?

Like you're standing on business.

You're standing on business.

I'm standing on business right meaning

that I am not backing down I'm keeping my word I'm standing on exactly what I said

and I said what I said and I meant what I said

so what you talking about bro I'm standing on business standing on business right an example is

if you said it stand on it if you said it stand on it

which means whatever you're saying just make sure you follow through

and you go about and you and you and you stick to what you said stand on it stand on business

stand on business a lot of people do that all right the next slang word is dogging it

dogging it now here's the meaning the meaning is going all out

or pushing hard like they going all out and they pushing out

or they pushing hard like i've been dogging it at work all week so It can mean two different things.

It could mean I've been doing it so well, or I've not been putting in a lot of effort and I've been kind of procrastinating.

Like, yeah, I've been dogging that joint, bro, for real.

Like, you can use it in two different aspects, right?

Two different connotations, negative and positive.

I could be like, I've been dogging this joint all day, man, for real.

Meaning that I've been doing so well.

I've been working on it so well.

I've been actually performing really well on it.

Or it could mean, like, I've been procrastinating.

I've not even, I haven't even talked about it.

I haven't even touched the thing, right? so dogging it right it's another term

100

that you can honestly use now the next one is cooked

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
