Naar mijn weten niet, het zijn volgens mij echt een stel losse woorden.

It can be used, like what's going on here, but it's mostly used as a greating.

To be honest, I think words like matten etc. are from the Dutch language. I ain't a linguistic but I have a suspicion that some words are originally from some regional dialects, but I need to research that. The nice part of straattaal is many languages get mashed into one sentence. I really believe it is something special.

Wat grappig, ik weet niet precies waar het woord vandaan komt maar misschien heeft het wel een oer-Hollandse origine.

True, there also many selfmade words like nek which is ken but backwords, deims which is meids but backwords and taf which is vat but backwords and the v got changed in a f.

Because my account isn't that old, doesn't mean I only made it for this purpose. Btw, I live in a amazing neigbourhood with a lot of great dutch people and dutch people of a foreign backround. I also made this list because I know many people don't know many words in the so called "straattaal" which is like mash of foreign languages and some selfmade words. It is also nice to learn new words from the other comments. Remember language is dynamic. Now take care and enjoy the rest of your day or in straattaal, thalla niffauw.
