This is your boy Slim Thug
And your boy Paul Wall baby
And it’s the slang show
‘Talking Down’
Talking down is hating
In a sentence it’d be
‘Man, Quit talking down on me man’
You know what I’m saying?
‘You always talking down’
It’s the same thing as hating
Talking down
One slang I would say is relative to Texas
Or where we from is the term Bopper
It’s kind of like a combination of a groupie and a gold digger
Where a gold digger is after your money
And a bopper kind of just wants
They’re not really after your money but
they after you because you have some type of status
You know
You got a nice car or you famous or something
And they want to be seen with you so
They a bopper or they bopped out on you man
You over there bopping man
You over there bopping off on the celebrities
This or that
You all over there bopped out
You know just bopping
Just a bopper
An A town term
