" for anyone interested i did a wee test of the Ebonics ? ( newfangled word )
"I would like to partake a muffin for 4 o'clock tea"
becomes
" I Wants ta partake uh muffin fo' 4 o'clock tea in the hood"
HUH .. i'm sure otheres could find funnier translations .. i never knew partake was in da street speak "
Hmmm... I know that partay is in ebonics, but partake might be a stretch.
A correct translation would be more like:
"Hey, homey, gib me one ub dose muff'ns. Iz jes 'bout fo'twenny..."
ORIGINAL: bradfordkay
" Hmm...sounds like a homey with congested nasal passages. "
Naw... he's from Etlanna... dey gots a differen' axe-sent down dere...

All I hear at that point is the voice of Charlie Brown's teacher. If she asks if I am listening I am able to repeat the last minute of what she said so as to avoid the frying pan.
She does the same thing to me when I talk about WiTP[:D]

International bankers intent on breaking the US economy and then the education system so as to be able to sieze control of this country within 50 years. The last reports I've read indicated the leadership of this cabal is most likely located in southern Australia.
