I don’t think “you a real one” is anything close to “thank you”. It makes no sense and it’s presumptuous to think I would understand words just because you string them together in a non-sensical way.
Never heard of slang? Also, I’m sorry, but nobody presumed you knew what the phrase meant because nobody was talking to you. If you had been part of the conversation then someone using slang that you didn’t understand would have been presumptuous. English is a mess of a language and like all languages is constantly evolving, so instead of gatekeeping, maybe just try to keep up?

English doesn’t work like that.
You a real one is absolutely a thank you
I don’t agree but I respect your right to believe that.
You are definitely not a real one
Oh no. I don’t fit in here. 😭
It effectively means “you’re a real friend”. Id that close enough to a “thank you”?
You da man
Now? Dog!
I guess it depends on what dialect you’re speaking, but I do understand that to mean thank you even if the words thank you weren’t explicitly said.

English is not even my first language and even I read that as a thank you.
