How many times has someone approached you, combined words and phrases that resembled English, spoken confidently as if a native speaker, but might as you try you can not decipher what the hell that person is saying? This happens to me ALL THE TIME!!
Case and point:
Person A: Sup yo? Deez peeps be off da hook. Yous gots ta be representin or deez peeps be hatin.
Person B: ??? (what is really understood - ¡¡click click¡¡)
Translation: Hi, how are you? These people are really cool. You have to represent yourself or people will not think you are cool enough for them.
I work in customer service and we have customers from all races come in. More times than not, if it is not very busy then the black customers will choose to be served by the black employee. Today I asked my co-worker if she noticed this. Her response, “Of course, they speak the same language.”
LOL!!
