Chick Chick Boi

 At Troy High School language is very diverse, whether it's the type of language someone is speaking, the tone of their voice, or how they end up conveying the message. For instance, I wouldn't walk up to my teacher on a Monday morning and say, "Yo bro, how was your weekend." If I did, it would create a weird and awkward atmosphere. I wouldn't also make daily comments like "chick chick boi" towards authoritative figures, but with my friends its completely fine. It's like the students are being watched, since they switch up their language depending on who they're around. With teachers, counselors, and other important figures language becomes more careful and respectful. On the other hand, places like the cafeteria and bathroom end up revealing a different side of people than most would expect. Those are the places where slang and inside jokes tend to slip out the most, even some "potty language." Although, there are many sides to how language is used to communicate and connect with one another, thereis also the literal meaning of language. Take me for example, I would make funny jokes and comments to my friends in my mother tongue Tamil, but if I spoke in it to other people they would probably think I'm saying gibberish. Not only does this help people connect deeper but sometimes it can also draw lines between friends groups. After all, language is much more than the words we choose to say. It's about the connections we make with the people around us, which signifies a bond with the people we trust, who we respect, and where we feel most comfortable being our true selves.
