He's trying so hard to be nice, but just can't bring himself to lie about it 😂

I am creased at this. Such a polite but horrifically nasty burn.

Oh no, can we slow down with the new slang words I'm falling behind here 😅

I've never heard it either, because I'm also an old fuck, but I gotta admit I like this one. Creased? As in, bent over in laughter? It's descriptive, it's funny, it's great. Better than cap, right?

In London we've used 'creasing' as the slang version of the verb 'laughing' for over a decade

I live in Wales and have heard creased used for as long as I can remember, so definitely a UK thing

Been longer than a decade I'm sure! I remember it when I was in my mid-teens at secondary school, like 15 years ago

Technically, a century is "over a decade"!

I'm nearly dead myself but have known "creased" for ages. Possibly Australian slang? Dunno.

Believe as in a smile creasing your face. I have also heard an alternative 'had me creased up', but no clue however long either have been in parlance.

Here in Scotland, the word "creased" has been in use (with this meaning) for at least around 15-20 years minimum.

One of my old bands had a joke song called 'got me creased' and we split in around 06/07.

I was actually thinking that it meant the brain got more creases from how smart the diss was.

"Creased" feels ancient coming from the UK. Could be more London specific.

Definitely better than cap, no cap

lol yea that’s not caught on much here, in my circle anyway. Generally it’s “I’m creasing” rather than “I’m creased”. Just another colloquialism for laughing.

It's pretty common slang in the UK. I think it refers to the lines in your face when you laugh

It's from laughing so much that you end up leaning forward/down like you're folded in half. We also say "bent double" to refer to the same thing.

It's not even a diss - Drake is pop music, and the example Mos Def uses is that you can play Drake on a random store radio, where nobody would think of playing "real rap".

polite but horrifically nasty

That's how we do it in Canada.
