got a nother piece of german slang for yall german-character enjoyers out there.
Digga.
I know. I know it looks pretty bad at first glance if you don't know where its coming from so let me explain.
"Digga" is a term that stems from the "Dicker" (lit. thick one) and is used to adress someone that you are "thick" with as in tight as in really close as in super best buddies but can also be used in a way that people sometimes call somebody a friend when they are seconds away from having that somebodys bridge of the nose make a connection with their frontal lobe.
Very commonly used by people under 35, it gets more common the lower you go age wise down until like 10 and it is also a lot more common to be heard in cities with high numbers of immigrants.
The term is gender neutral but you'll still most commonly hear it directed towards guys. It's also mostly interchangable with "brudi" (shortened slang version of "bruder" aka brother ) or any other way to refer to someone on a sibling-like level.
Immigration actually plays a big role in current german slang or "youth-speak" as its sometimes referred to over here and I personally think it's very interesting how older people hiss and cry about it as if that wasn't how languages have always developed since the dawn of time
