Forward

Forward (verb, slang) – A Toronto slang term, originating from the Rexdale area, meaning to pull up, come through, or move toward a specific place or situation. Deeply rooted in the city’s Jamaican and Caribbean influence, forward is commonly used in casual conversation and street culture as both an invitation and a directive, often carrying a sense of urgency or informality. Now a staple of Toronto’s urban slang, the term has spread beyond its origins, reflecting the city’s distinct linguistic influence.
