Do Black Americans suck their teeth too while experiencing disappointment?

[BigSteppa]

We also do it in Central Africa.

Is it the same in the East?

It's mostly a girl thing tho.

Yeah my mom's does it all the time

 

[JackRoss]

I notice us minding our business and see the obsession with us. @neotheflyingone this the tranny lover you were thinking of?

 

[JackRoss]

WHAT DO BLACK AMERICANS DO??????? Obsession is real. Smh. We live our lives behind enemy lines while you flee majority "black" countries. That's what we do.

While yall copy our styles and try to fail at being us.

It's common with (West) Africans and Caribbean people so I wonder if ADOS do that thing too?

disappointment? did someone tell you about this or do you know about it firsthand.

 

[JadeB]

.

Yes. I think women do it way more than men. I would say it's done two ways. One way is very subtle. Most of the time you barley can notice it. If you listen for it... it's like a short tick sound.

Example 1.

Broke ass friend - "A man... I don't have your money today. I'm going to pay you next Friday."

You - "Short quiet tick... man... you better have my money Friday!"


The other way is when you want the person you're doing it towards to hear it.

Example 2.

Hood bytch #1 - "bytch... you touch my car again I'm going to slap you!"

Hood bytch #2 - "Loud Teeth Sucking sound... bytch I wish you would... fukk you and yo car bytch!" or "Loud Teeth Sucking sound...with a quick exhale through the teeth and the lips... bytch I wish you would... fukk you and yo car bytch!"

Yall nikkas forgot about the quick exhale through the teeth and the lips. LOL


That's how most black Americans do the teeth sucking thing when we get mad, frustrated or pissed off about something. But most of the time it's very subtle and you don't really notice it.

Why is it subtle?

 

[Sankofa Alwayz]

Yeah we do, even I do it too (pause). But like others have said, ours is a lil more subtle. I’ve noticed that Islanders and West Africans (most especially the former) do it a lil louder and longer. Whenever I hear UK Black folks suck their teeth, it be sounding like a cricket spitting out a trail of spit lol

 

[CopiousX]

I never heard in my whole life a white, arab or Asian person tchip, except when trying to imitate an African

NOW I gotta go pay attention. I really don’t pay attention to these other groups like that

 

[MajesticLion]

Absolutely necessary when some clown jump up with they dotishness and need the immediate feedback.


Don't do it around elders if you like life

 

[hatealot]

Can't stand that shyt. When nikkas do it I be wanting to fight. I take it as complete disrespect for a man to suck his teeth at me. Its a cultural thing.

Another thing I find out that people do also is they flex their cheeks/squint their eyes when they are confused.

I was very wrong that day

Like op said that's a Caribbean & African trait

 

[JadeB]

[HarlemHottie]

Did you not read the thread?

ADOS are steadily excluded from the diaspora, then yall wonder why we grouping up together. Make it make sense.
