I watched a video made by an ex-prison inmate. He described a young guy who came into his pod from the hood. He had a grill.

They guy said kid had a real problem because no one wanted to cell with him, and the reason was because he had extremely severe bad breath. He (the guy who made the video) said you could literally smell it from fifty or sixty feet away.

If it were up to the District of Congo, they would mandate Ebonics the national language.

Oxford has been Dorkbamanated. Evidently, for some of their colleges, their standards are right down there with the dork’s law school university. Thankfully, their STEM group is still there, and I laugh to think of what they’d do to his league of idiots should they even think of passing one of their courses.

"First of all, we must internalize the 'flatulation' of the matter by transmitting the effervescence of the 'Indianisian' proximity in order to further segregate the crux of my venereal infection. Now, if I may retain my liquids here for one moment. I'd like to continue the 'redundance' of my quote, unquote 'intestinal tract', you see because to preclude on the issue of world domination would only circumvent - excuse me, circumcise the revelation that reflects the 'Afro-disiatic' symptoms which now perpetrates the Jheri Curis activation. Allow me to expose my colon once again. The ramification inflicted on the incision placed within the Fallopian cavities serves to be holistic taken from the Latin word 'jalapeno'."

“The term “cakewalk,” used to describe a easy task, is defined as one with its origins from slavery.

“A contest in which black people would perform a stylized walk in pairs, typically judged by a plantation owner,” the term is defined.”

That’s complete and utter BS!

Yeah I think I was there. They also had a booth where husbands could bring the sticks they use to beat their wives. There was a lady in the booth who would measure the stick's width, to make sure it was exactly one finger.

Muvfuq show be the first word.

That's a compound word, perhaps better classified as a phrase.

I'm waiting for the Ebonics crossword puzzles.
