Slang of the Week: Onz


Image source: www.inkstyle.com.au

Onz: To show approval or confirm a situation, plan or event. Uusally used in conjunction with ‘Brutha’.

(Ed – I can’t really confirm, but I think this slang may be derived from the oft used term “Its on!”, though the current use is generally less challenging and more along the lines of agreeing.)

Shelvin: Ok so tonight us gang go watch Terminator Salvation. Set?
Bob: Onz boy. Onz.
