Drake introduced us to slang words that are basically household terms at this point. Here are six terms that every Drake fan knows and that you should learn immediately.
*Listens to More Life while writing this list*
1. "Woes"
I was running thru the 6 with my woes!
Urban Dictionary defines it as "Basically my squad. Stands for Working On Excellence. The squad you run with every day should be working on excellence. And that's why people in Toronto use the word for their team Or set."
2. "Ahlie"
This a Torontonian's slang word for "right?" or an agreement word.
3. "Gyalchester"
Meant to sound like 'Manchester', a city in London, but a place that has many beautiful women.
4. "YOLO"
Okay, so maybe 'You Only Live Once' was a thing before drake. But let's get real, Drake made YOLO. It was a rebirth, the "Carpe Diem" for this generation.
5. "Waste Ting"
“Waste ting” is Patois for a useless thing.

6. "6"
Jimmy Fallon asked Drake if 'the six' was a Canada thing, where Drake replied, “Yes, our area code is 416. We were debating on The Four, but I went tail-end on them and went 6. And at one point Toronto was broken up into six areas (Old Toronto, Scarborough, East York, North York, Etobicoke, and York), so it’s all clicking man.”
