Ebonics 101

Welcome to EBONICS 101 Herein follow a few terms to help you get started on your merry way towards the ve-nak-u-lar... "Damn- that shit is DOPE!" That is a wonderful concept/object/action. "Can't FADE that." I am unable to comprehend or assimilate that concept at this time. "Shante ain't havin' it." This is not something that Shante will allow to occur. "Homey- Boo was dropping PHAT beats." Our friend Boo was playing some wonderful music. "YO!- Let me GAFFLE that BLUNT!" Might I be able to indulge in your marijuana cigarette? "JIMMY was on and I was HITTIN' it!" I had in my possession a condom, which was used in my engagement of sexual activity. "What's up? Why you ALL UP in my shit!?!" Please sir/madam- stay out of my affairs. "She is HELLA' CLOWIN' you HOMEY!" The woman is creatively informing you that her interest in dating you is non-existent at this time. "Woooooo- Renaldo was PITCHIN' STRAIGHT GAME to baby-doll, and it was SMOOOOVE!" Renaldo was creatively inquiring as to the marital status of the female, with the intention of asking her on a date. "STEP OFF Cool- before I bust PHAT CAPS in your A** with my NEINER..." It would be beneficial to your physical state to leave this area, as I will soon be encouraged by your disrespect towards me to shoot bullets into your buttocks with my 9mm pistol. "Why is 5-OH always BUGGIN'!?!"~~~~ Why are the police officers always worried? "Friday night- COLD CHILLIN' with a 40 and a BLUNT."~~~~ It is Friday eve, and I am leisurely enjoying a forty ounce bottle of malt liquor and a marijuana cigarette.
