The Ghetto Handbook | Ebonics 101

You know something, That's retarded. Why create a booklet in relation to slang or the way people pronounce words. All slang is different. all accents are different. there is no specific spellings or meaning for all of the (unless they are actual words). I say this because, Regionally slang is different. the wild part is that some of these words are now in the dictionary, this takes them off the Slang list. The thing people don't realize is that Accents, region and family are the reason we talk the way we talk.

There are many things that people living in Downtown New Orleans say, that People in Uptown New Orleans might say differently. so i know that The slang of Houston is different in all locations. You cant say "This is how Black people talk" .. because its NOT.. white folks talk the same ..lol

What I CAN understand is, UrbanDictionary.com, why? because it has nothing to do with Ebonics, Its basically a site where you can Add your own meanings to the words, the one most commonly known gets voted to the top of the list. I have no problem with that. But when you plan on teaching people These words that the young folks might say.. doesn't mean they use those words all the time. nor if people in the area use it at all.

You want some Slang-language... Here ya go...

• Throwed
• Drove
• Ignit
• Cuz (second Meaning )
  
• Wodie, Wardy and Variations of it

See what I mean..
