Big difference between uneducated and making up a language. I have seen black college graduates use "finna" and "finda".  This is a serious question because it is really happening. Its like jargon that they only understand but is being picked up by high school students that are around them every day.




STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ah, but what she was saying was true.  Plus I think some alcohol had a little something to do with the slurred words.  I couldn't understand one word from the guy from Spain.  He talked just like that fellow from King Of The Hill, Boomhauer.  Great show BTW.

As far as the Blacks coining new words.  Well, it's called Ebonics.  So when they butcher English they can say they have their own language.

I own a house in Rodanthe. I rent it out and have it to myself for about two months out of the year. I have never heard anyone talk like that there. I buy my fish when the fisherman come back in and as rude as they may be, never speak like that, lol.



STAY POSITIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Spent my summers on the Outer Banks as a kid. Buxton, Salvo, Hatteras. Gorgeous place.
