"De-hyphenation" or, more accurately, “de hyphenation” is the act of detoxification after a night of heavy consumption of Hyphy Juice. In its purest form, de hyphenation consists of consuming large quantities of Taco Bell cheesy bean burritos. This terminology is rumored to have been popularized by the nocturnal activities of several Vanderbilt University Law students who have close ties to the Yay Area underground hip hop movement. Use of the phraseology has been adopted on the west side and is becoming increasingly popular as a description of the activities in which hip hoppers and law students engage after getting NorCal crunk oh Hyphy Juice and ghostriding the whip. In print, the removal of the hyphen from "De-hyphenation" is a contribution inspired by a particularly clever Vanderbilt Law student; it is intended to symbolize the absorption of Hyphy Juice by the cheesy bean burritos and the removal of the intoxicating effects of a drinker's prior consumption.
Niggas got 18 Dummy so early on that they had to hit up The Bell, beast seventeen cheesy beans and go through some serious de-hyphenation before hittin' the club.

The use of the word "fucking" to divide a multisyllabic word in place of the hyphen (-) punctuation mark to express emphasis or subdued exclamation.
Eff hyphen as punctuation: "I abso-fucking-lutely agree." or "You are a-fucking-mazing." or "He is a huge lia-fucking-bility."

Fellatio performed on a small penis.
When asked about giving a hyphen siphon to the Asian guy, she said it was like drinking wasabi through a straw.

Jack is such a hyphen-whore. I proofread the first paragraph of his paper and found words like "lack-luster", "fully-blown", and "non-existent".

The language of teenage white girls with an IQ below room temperature. This is when people end their sentences with a hyphen (a dash) or say the phrase "I-" by itself. This was popularized around the time "Sis I-" and "And I oop-" got attention. It is usually linked with VSCO girls, Gacha kids, Roblox Aesthetics, Twitter stans, and many other annoying types of people online. 9 times out of 10, the people who do this are usually sensitive, stan some sort of creator, idolize the LGBTQ+ community, are in the LGBTQ+ community itself, or are on the left-wing (Basically your average Twitter user). This quickly sparked memes making fun of this. One of the most popular examples is "Bitches be like 'I- I- You- Wow I-'." Along with memes, it has also started many Discord servers and communities against Hyphen Speak, some of which I am in myself.

Jason: I will tear you apart limb from limb if you continue doing that. You have been using hyphen speak for the last year and everyone hates you for it. This is why you have no friends, your family doesn't love you, and why you can't find a job. Stop pretending like you're stuttering online. It's annoying and unnecessary.
Audrey: OMG I can not believe you said that- like-

actually both posts for this word are incorrect. Although you mean very well there isn't a caucasian-American. A hyphenated American is someone who is a citizen but was born in another country or can trace their origin back to that county.
Tatiana was born here in the United States. Her mother was born in Africa. Tatiana is African-American. This is a hyphenated american. Which makes up hyphenated america
