When i lived in East Lake Atlanta it took me a long time to figure out that when my neighbor told me his wifer lived on another screet he meant another another street. I went like two weeks thinking that screet was slang for something else. I am so dumb.
lol, now thats just someone who can't pronouce street or screet. lol I think I would have laughed in his face, the first time he said it.
Ebonics. There are ebonics/english translators on the web . . dozens of 'em. It's like another language. It's a joke, m' nizzle.
i had a summer job when i was in high school at a lumberyard. i was the only one that had not killed or raped someone in our loading area. i was also the only one that spoke english. of course it bothered me.
I'm working in Corpus right now. We have a Mexican guy that works here. He was born here in Texas, and speaks English as well as anyone else. He doesn't speak Spanish around here very often, but when he gets upset, he goes off on some tangent saying god knows what in Spanish. It is phucking hilarious!
when i get my nails done, the young ladies are speaking in korean to each other. doesnt bother me, but it makes me think of the seinfeld episode of the same every damned time! the only time not speaking english irritates the crap out of me is when international customers dont speak english. if they want to order from me, i am in the u.s. so please, use my language. i cant be expected to know spanish, french, dutch, and whatever other language. luckily most muddle through with english enough to where transactions can get done. but those that dont want to do business with me because i dont speak their language, fine. stupid customers are a different story.
I can cuss in four different languages so I really do not mind when others gotta yak. I have lived in many other countries and so being an American overseas speaking broken (their language), I can understand ones frustration. I have developed a sense of when I am being talked about in other languages so I pop that sh!t right back at em in some language I just make up.
i believe this is what you were trying to say http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zjqtSs6OJc4&feature=related
