> When I was growing up in America, people said they "had to stand in line" but now they say "had to stand on line"
Is this a generational/regional thing? I'm an East Coast millennial and I never hear people say "stand on line."
The "in a minute" example I believe comes from AAVE, if it was present in The Wire it was probably common in the Baltimore lexicon long before that show hit HBO.
