Ebonics cant be codified, not even factoring in regional Black slang, if you were to create a dictionary of Ebonics it would be obsolete by time it went to press. Black slang is American English, it is a response to it and often operates in tandem with it, seeping into the mainstream and/or being recycled (ie..props). Ebonics caught on because it was just another contrived and far out excuse for failing students.
LOL. yeah really. I cant even believe we are talking about this. we have more pressing issues that needs to discussed such as "how much we love an apple shaped ass." , "the nice dick sucking lips we love on women" and the most important issue " where can a bro find a spot that ww hang out at that is a signal that they are open to IR" . These are the topics that must be discussed at length. these topics are to be discussed at the Weekly Macking Conference .
This is old. [YOUTUBE]EndozxolXKE[/YOUTUBE] Cats don't talk like this but its relevant to the thread.
Should Ebonics be classified a language like French and Italian? WDF???? Ebonics has no requirements to be a language or even a dialect. Sorry.
The dictionary and its meanings are so far removed today, that why not make it its own language? Miley Cyrus is a "diva". People involved in "reality" shows are "celebrities". A person can glue a tin can to a bucket and call it "art". Why not make Ebonics a "language" whilst we're at it? No words carry any weight anymore, so who cares? Sarcasm font off.
Words, phrases, vernacular...they come & they go and they're bandied about like so mucha nuthin'.... I shudder to think of what's gonna be elgible for entry into the next edition of The Oxford Dictionary. OpinionsCartoonStudios@Yahoo.Co.UK
