I cannot believe that this kind of thing has to be said, but here is a quick list of some of the AAVE terms that I see whites using that they need to stop, now. This is just stuff I see on tumblr or in every day life, not necessarily everything that’s AAVE.

• dig/dig it/ you dig

• “this guy/girl” or “this fucking guy/girl”

• for sure/fo sho/for real

• “know what I’m saying”

• ___ game strong/ ____ game like.

• side eye

• ya’ll

• hella

• dope

• finna

• thirsty

There are literally thousands more, but these are the ones I see regularly and seriously, if you’re not a poc, you need to STAAAAAAHP.
