Inspired by something I said last night when complaining about an achievement at work and the only way I could think to describe it was “pure frippery.”

    Yesterday I learned the word Steez from my son in high school.

    Still not completely sure what it means, but I believe it’s something between a dork and a douche.

      So back in the 90s “steez” was your overall style. Like “this dude’s steez is off the chain.” But it’s not just style but also hutzpha, so “check this steez yo, fresh shells smoking a blunt on the street”

      Idk what it means today but this old head used to have steez but then I got old and now I just sneeze rimshot I’ll be here all night folks.

      Long post just to ask, is that still what it means?

      Edit: forgot a part

        I think it does still mean that, but, not in a good way.

        The 90s celebrated Steez (which I personally never heard of back then) then it’s definition today is essentially “The 90s called and they want their style back.”

        Definitely explains why he had to borrow some of my clothes for it. 🤦🏻‍♂️

          Ha, isn’t that how it always goes? Like dope, if my dad called me a dope it was because I was being stupid. If I called you dope it was because you were cool.

          Are you the raw sugar cane, nutrasweet, never equal? If you were in Binzito or your mother’s Buick Regal would you get up like Chino shouting power to the people?

      I’ve heard steeze in snowboard / Park rat culture. Though it’s a bit dated it means like, style/vibe/look
