Please help me clarify things
Thx in advance |
"Majide?" is a slang meaning "Are you serious?" The word for "serious" is "majime". They abbreviate it to "Maji" and add the suffix "de?" to make it a question. Personally, I think it's too silly and I never use it even though I am a fluent Japanese speaker.

Both are known for being loud, ruff-necks, but fun loving people.
