I don't know if slang is the best representation of culture. I went to 4 of the 5 boroughs in NYC (sorry, I'm never going to Queens), and most people didn't use that term. Anecdotal evidence, I suppose. Usually, people let their burns stand by themselves.

From Urban Dictionary:

Burn:

"To be thoroughly humiliated or insulted to the point where you cannot return with a comeback."

So if it's also a synonym for "just kidding," than people in NYC must be out of the loop (no offense!).

And I think we're destined to do this forever.

Ok, if you're going to be literal about it, no, not every SINGLE person uses the term, its a local thing tho, local slang. That said, slang is king in most parts of NYC.

Let me further explain, since you seem interested in understanding it. When you use "Ooh burn" after an insult, it's like saying "I just dissed you, but Im messin with ya" .. its not "just kidding" literally, but has the same effect, to remove the sting of the insult from the wording.

Wait, I thought only married couples bicker about BS like this. Are you proposing to me?

BTW, never work for Amtrak, you've a natural talent for derailment lol

Fair enough. I'd love to propose to you, but I'm already in a relationship. And if we're talking about derailment, you're the one who decided to ignore my argument about your comment in favor of talking about slang usage. So...nice job.
