Ripper 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 This "shawty" thing kind of grates my tits. I'm on board with the word itself as a slang term, but that spelling is just some deliberately stupid nonsense. Well...to be fair, that is what is being said. If they wrote "shorty" and said "shawty" then it is just being deceptive. If you are in Atlanta enough you will evetually hear just "shaw". Nothing new or anything, people have been saying that for years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinetic 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 And this eventually leads to language becoming so debased that we'll be communicating through nothing but a series of monosyllabic grunts. "Shaw." "Right." "Is." "Word." I just gave you directions to the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

"Is." "Word." I just gave you directions to the Hartsfield-Jackson Airport. That is a southern accent though. every word is somehow made shorter. "I went in the store and took my dog" becomes "I wen'n sto n tookda dawg" Its really incredible when you sit back and listen to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Niggardly King 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 Without Carnival around to translate for me, I haven't been able to understand black folks in a while now. As a result, Tyler Perry's House of Payne brings, like, next to nothing to the table in terms of laffs. Don't worry, I understand it perfectly, and still no laffs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonL21 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 Be weary of the context the word is used, because some words have more than one meaning. Example 1 Random Guy: "Damn! That nigga got dat donk lookin right on dem 24s Translation: "Wow! The Gentleman has his Classic Chevrolet looking amazing on those rather large wheels" Example 2 Random Guy: "Damn! Shawty Gotta Donk!! Translation: " Oh My! That young lady has quite a large, lovely backside. Just a small sample of our southern slang Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Lushus 0 Report post Posted March 28, 2008 I tell you, being as I'm more of a midwest (with some time on the East coast) brotha, I still don't know what the fuck "trill" means...I remember hearing UGK going on about being "trill ass niggas" in the very early 90s and going HUH??? I also find it amusing that Outkast amongst others were using the word "crunk" in the mid 90s, yet it didn't really take off until Lil Jon started up his act in 02/03.
