My co-worker forwarded an "EBONIC WORD OF THE DAY" e-mail to me. It made me snort (with laughter).
Today's Ebonic word from the Louisiana Public School System: OMELETTE
Let's use this in a sentence:
"I should pop yo ass fo what you jus did, but omelette dis one slide."
I like this thread already.
Haha, who would have thought that ebonics not only provides clever amusement but actually evolves to adapt to new situations!
This is older than Jesus.
Jesus is pretty old.
But is it as old as Raptor Jesus?
:lol: :lol: :lol:
You bes axe yo motha if she think that nice.
I thought all threads older than a couple years automatically got closed.
your mom is old
Black Jeff Foxworthy jokes aren't funny.
I heard that my high school was considering teaching Ebonics as a class, like Spanish or French. I almost broke out the napalm.

Honestly, there's no reason for dialects to be taught as a class. I don't see Cockney classes in school, and I don't see -ben classes here. It's fucking stupid.
Remember when this was a Jeff Foxworthy routine?
EDIT: Beaten to itYeah, I gotta agree. School is where you learn all the goofy shit that's going to get you a job and prepare you for life. Teaching a vernacular, especially a constantly shifting one without any real rules, is only going to hurt kids.Quote:

I wasn't advocating it being taught in school, just pointing out that it's actually a dialect, nothing more.Quote:

The real question is: What's improper ebonics? How do you fail that test?Quote:

I'd fucking love to see a 50 year old white female school teacher teaching kid's how to talk jive, yo.
This whole thread reminds me of that hillarious scene in "Airplane".
Ebonics, ebonics, ebonics. FUCK JESSE JACKSON!
It's called "jive" you turkey mutha' fuckas.
Teaching ebonics in school opens up the door to all sorts of other bullshit. What about the lingo Starbucks employees speak? "Decaf venti mocha latte frappichino with 2 sugar-free vanilla shots, whip and drizzle."
LOL
Whip and Drizzle.
Band name?
