Ever heard this one? “I can have that?”..........means you have something they do not have and they want it. Happened in my wife’s office recently. A new black employee caught one of my wife’s coworkers off guard (as they tend to like to do). Referring to an unopened soft drink she had on her desk used the “I can have that?” question. Surprised, the coworker obliged. The black woman took it with no offer of repayment or replacement of the drink, and never did. So if that question is ever posed to you my suggestion is that the answer is NO you cannot (with a smile of course). They take advantage if they can.........been my experience anyway.

Whoever is doing the hood translations had better study grammar themselves. In no. 4 it’s “you’re angered” not “your angered.”
