Who influenced your speech??

In general I believe that our speech is influenced by our peers and where we are from. Growing up I noticed different city's said different things, that's how I knew where people were from. It's funny to me how a generation can change their peers vocabulary, as if it were a fad. Honestly, we are with our peers more than 50% of the day. Since we are with our peers most of the time we tend to bond and relate easily. Which makes it easy to be influenced, period. Influenced to try drugs, play with guns, or just hustle. A majority of my friends talk the same and do the same things like smoke and drink. As humans we naturally rub off on each other or whoever we're affiliated with. For example, me and my best friend look completely opposite but sound exactly the same. We go bad on people the same way, we even find ourselves saying the same thing at the same time. I remember growing we had a (fake) hyphy movement and I think E-40 went on 106 and Park putting the Bay Area on the map. He was explaining and defining all of the different terminology we used such as "hypy", "that go stupid", and "yadadamean". Good thing the hyphy movement is DEAD and so is the terminology!
