In my story there are some words in there that even _Grammarly_ couldn't understand, but they make sense in the story. They're slang, or things teenagers might say.

Here is an example of what I am talking about:

> Hank was wearing his sweatpants and a flimsy t-shirt, Haku wore his white gym shorts and a light yellow tank top that said “#THUG LYFE” on it. Tim smirked at the youth, wishing he were that young again. A sudden realization occurred to him. That he had never told Haku about why he respected his father so much. “Boy, I have a story for you, but when you are done cooking you may hear it. You might want to sit down for it, it’s a very long story,” he said. Haku looked excited for the story, his eyes flashed a sincere curiosity for a moment.

And another:

> “Whoa, what’s up with the old timey funstuffs?” asked Haku. He reached up to touch the gate and it opened on its own. Almost like it knew he was there. As Ryu walked behind his friend, there was an obvious atmosphere that Haku didn’t notice. Not right away, at least.

Is it ok to use fake words like that?
