The slang usage of it, though, treats it as an adjective all its own.

And just to be clear, when I say that those words have been removed from our vernacular, I am referring to the fact that many of them originated in AAVE, were adopted by white folks, used heavily by white folks, and then dropped — by white folks. If you're going to use these terms, understand where and how they originate, my dudes.
