Not as much as grammar/speech nazis.
Texas has slang, but a lot of people want to move there, same with Montana and the west.
Anyone hear anybody say lately, I want to move to California, New Jersey, New York or Massachusetts, hell even Minnesota. Nope, I didn’t think so.

I think some folks are confusing slang with dialects and colloquialisms. Yes. And not related to the OP but I cannot stand when people won’t use pronouns. “Dad came by Sunday night to watch the game.” You mean YOUR dad came by Sunday night to watch the game? I’m not your brother you stupid fugkin hick.

I've always enjoyed different dialects and slang within any language especially those from America.
First exposure and memories of are from my German Irish grandmother.
I loved to listen to her talk as a kid she was a larger than life figure on the maternal side of the family. She named my first child and took me to get my license at sixteen.
She was an active IRA supporter as well.

Do people that fuss over everyday language use get upset when others aren't being controlled enough by the powers that be to suit them?

Correct, but this has become a therapeutic place where we can vent our frustration over all of the lazy-assed abuse of the language.

Groid slang IF you have to hear it. WTF did that just mumble!? To answer the question of the thread, yes, especially groid slang when used by white people.

I can’t help thinking but y’all do realize that pussy is slang for booger, and for snatch, and for muff, and for furburger, and for hairy clam, and for tang ( and a whole subset of slang words on that one), and for hair pie and for thousands of other slang words FOR OUR FAVORITE SLANG WORD!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

When I conduct a shotgun qualification, I let them know that anyone who refers to their weapon as a shotty or a gauge is an automatic fail. Both sound retarded to me and rankle me to no end. Shotty is one I have never heard anyone say. Now shoddy I have heard. To fail someone because you don't like how they talk, means you shouldn't be doing any qualifying. Shoddy work!

Saw on FB. Shortened for brevity.
Couple colored guys. One telling the other to call him Biminouses.
Ok, he says.
Days later.
Hey Biminouses. No answer.
Hey Biminouses. No answer.
Another steps in to say, "what you saying cuz?"
Uh, he said call him Biminouses.
NO, his name is KC! He said to call him by his initials. I don’t get it.
Obey lawful commands. Video interactions. Hold bad cops accountable. Problem solved.

Don’t know the difference between ‘their and there’ or were or where!!
Easy to tell their age brackets!

I could probably do without "shooter" and "shooter-buck."

Slang bothers me far less than mis-spoken clichés and sayings.
I hear "hone-in" on something, and "unchartered" waters a lot. That's the stuff that bugs me. This. Another one is "I could care less." Well why dontcha??
