The Urban Linguistics Thread

[Quarterback]

This is a field of study that relates to us and our language. It's the study of urban language and slang. Its origins, uses and history.

So, whoever has some expertise in this, go ahead and kick some knowledge on it.

What are some origin stories you know about certain slang terms?

Which are on the come-up?

Which terms do you hate?

Should Ebonics be taught in school?

No absolutely no, hell no. It would only be taught in urban schools where these kids are barely getting a proper education anyways

should not be taught in schools... and it doesn't need to be taught. a person should also know how to speak whatever is considered proper, in the nation they live in.

However, in a situation when your in a professional setting and the proper speaking black girl, who u never knew had it in her... is forced to hit u with the code language, because CACas are around... u appreciate it a lil bit.

Or if ur boy hits u with.. 'nawmean' and you fully understand that, that nawmean = about 4 sentences in relation to whatever was happening at the time....
