kind, funny, adventurous girl who doesn’t normally get in to trouble, but wouldn’t mind if she did. she will always be there for you even if you did her wrong & she is way to nice. lowkey freaky and always dtf. she seems annoying but she really doesn’t trust anyone anymore because she’s been broken so many times. she’s pretty but she doesn’t see it. she gets hurt a lot but would never show it.

Naijiahuang 

B-boys of Asian descent.

Break dancing, in the 80s and early 90s, was predominantly the domain of African-Americans. Participants were/are referred to as b-boys.

The New York colloquialism came into popular use in the late 1990s with the increased popularity of break dancing among Asian-American youth. It has since spread throughout Northeast colleges and universities.

Walking through Union Square park, we saw a few Naijiahuangs performing head spins.

I went to the dance competition on Slope Day and a Naijiahuang stole the show.
