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.

“Shorty said she’s feeling me, so I told her forward and let’s chill.”

Called Forward

to be called forward is to hear an inner voice that demands that you take action

At that moment I felt called forward: , I heard that inner voice, and I knew to be true to myself I needed to answer the call and speak up to say out loud exactly was what was on my mind, that wasn't a joke. It wasn't funny - it was from a perspective of ignorance.
