jittleyang (jit-lee-ang)

something you REALLY do NOT want to be. jittleyang references a fugly, smelly, nasty, whore-like individual.

furthermore, a fuhuhluhtoogan is a person with good, well defined morals and a strong sense of integrity. you just know it’s TIGHT.

in the tiktok jittleyang v fuhuhluhtoogan universe, it is a well known fact that all jittleyangs should expect to rot in hell for eternity due to the atrocities they commit, including but not limited to: just identifying with the jittleyangian people, jittleyanging on the streets, being a freak in da bed, getting freaky, and having piss kinks.
are you a jittleyang (jit-lee-ang) or a fuhuhluhtoogan..?
cuz you DO NOT want to be a jittleyang.

ang-hood

To act moody, irrational, and ignorant. To really get under someones skin. To irritate. Someone you may have to tip-toe around as to not upset them. Someone hard to be around.
"Don't go ang-hood on me!" "Way to pull an ang-hood!"
