    It makes them more “real.” Official, like.

    It’s silly anyway. They put “jiggy” in there back in the 90’s and nobody uses that word at all anymore. In 10-20 years, will we still see/hear these? 🤷‍♂️

      I definitely have said “gettin jiggy” at least once in the last two years. Maybe ironically, but it is part of my vernacular.
