My dawg
Significado: My close friend. Someone I trust and am loyal to.
My dawg is a term of deep affection and loyalty between friends. It goes beyond casual friendship — calling someone your dawg means they're in your inner circle, someone you'd go to bat for. The spelling 'dawg' distinguishes it from the animal and marks it as distinctly AAVE.
