Ebonic terms and phrases that have become part of the American lexicon
Posted on 7/24/16 at 9:25 pm to Nature Boy
I've heard none of those come from educated people. The only one I did hear come from someone I didn't expect was "My bad."
I don't use any of those words or phrases.

Using "gimme a..." ilo of "can I have a..." When ordering something. I've noticed this at places like subway. Just strange.

"don't go there" and "talk to the hand" were adopted by white chicks in the 90's and early 2000's.
I had to shake my head every time I heard it.

I have heard these terms exit the mouths of white wannabes and black women. The real street bruthuhs speak some strange arse shite I just can't understand.

Scruffy is pretty sure he has never used "throw shade" in a sentence and doesn't even know what that means.
