[QUOTE="Detonator, post: 943465, member: 44104"] This is purely political. Very little of Ebonics is based on a solid, common foundation, and as a result is a Pidgin language with constantly refreshing vernacular... What? What? Don't be playin' me playa. Fo' shizzle? Fo' shizzle, my nizzle. If you're lonely tonight or feel the burning need to ask which premix is the best, go look up the difference between a Creole language, a Pidgin language, and how Reflexification relates to Pidgin. A clearer example would be one person speaking the "Ebonics" practiced by M.C. Hammer in the 80's having a conversation with Snoop Dogg: Hammer: "Man, that was one dope concert...did you see all them fly girls? I gots ta Chill G" Snoop: "Kewl the vernizzacular, dawg. The dubble G izz in da house, and I'm down with the gin and juice." Detonator: Hey...you guys like KTM's? (hums "Can't Touch This" while performing the Quebec version of "the running man." Then breaks into an actual run while pursued by two angry recording artists.) The vocabulary has refreshed so much that even basic conversation is hard only 20 years later. That's not a language...that's slang. Slang is fun, hip, fresh, infectious...and goes out of style faster than an Olsen Twins lunch kit. I so regret that particular purchase... [/QUOTE]
