John Y’s Musings from the Middle: Don’t Be Frontin’

“Don’t be frontin'”

I heard this phrase a few days ago and looked it up and like what it means. Basically, don’t put on airs to impress or deceive people.

That’s an important message and one I echo and would like to share with others.

I try to keep up with hip new lingo…and even occasionally use it, if I can get away with it.

But it’s been three days now since I’ve been looking for an opening to use the phrase “Don’t be frontin'” and I haven’t found the right opportunity yet….and am starting to think there may never be a way for me to get away with using this phrase without people cracking up….as I crack up with them.

That’s unfortunate. In other words, that’s neither “fly” nor “dope.”

By the way, I’ve been looking for an even longer time to use the terms “fly” and “dope.”

And this post probably wasn’t ideal. Just doesn’t work. Oh well.

Sometimes it’s better to just be who you are than something your not. Otherwise, you’re just frontin’

Hey! I did it!!!
