Friends addressed as family. Fading in public use, though still the standard vocative of the man selling you a phone case.
I was a lurker for most of the 2010s and Fam is one of the few things I remember posting about. Two lines. Somebody replied. That was enough to keep me around for another decade.
The record calls this a term. It was closer to a handshake. You said Fam and the other person either knew or did not, and that was the entire transaction.
The record gives 2014 for the birth, which is correct, but it did not reach my school until about a year later, and it arrived through a single kid with an older brother. Everything did.
What does it mean? Write it the way you would say it out loud.
