Informal language. The setting of the language is between friends.

"Baby, howzit?" I asked her if she would want to join me at the club tonight to celebrate.

I'll tell you now, while I'm chilling with my girls, she gave me a half-hearted response. Don't leave me hanging or I'll be done with you, I told her.

Actually, we're reading a few pages of a piece of writing about a guy's drug addiction. We can't understand what he's writing because it's so clever, but we're going to piece it together because no book will ever be able to put us down since she was all fire and ice. "Why do you want to be all intelligent if you're going to be stupid?" I ask.
