Thugccent

How some people imagine "thugs", specifically Black and sometimes Latino men, talk. It's used by, predominately, middle-class and upper-class people as a way to imitate people they perceive as "thugs", "gangsters", etc.

It's usually done by making the voice deeper, enunciating words in a way that resemble stereotypical "gangsters", and using specific slang popular in the current moment to illustrate that they are imitating "urban people."

God I was in the middle of traffic and as soon as I was about to merge, some black guy sped up and cut me off from merging onto the exit. I yelled "Man you lucky you in your car I'll whup your ass you goddamn motherfucker" at him and it looked like he recorded me.

I saw the video and it sounded like you were doing a thugccent. What the fuck, man?
