slang talk, and pants on the ground.

if only. and if its the latest thing fine, show off your undies but do me a favor and get some NICE underwear not holy dirty stained ones that look like there were made 10 years ago? No seriously the last time I saw that his boxers had holes in the back and...were gross looking as in whatever color brown that was it was in the right position to make me think it wasn't chocolate you sat on.

Or...I can't recall who it was that started this but wearing bright pastel colors making you look gay instead of gansta and you're known for being straight as all get out. Back to the point fine if you want to show off your undies but...maybe not everyone wants to see them?

The pants down below the butt is pretty gross. Most of the ones I see doing it do it in a very distinct way. They'll pull their pants up in the front, but in the back, they'll pull them down below their butts so their underwear is showing. At the school where I work, there used to be a girl who did that. I thought that was odd, as it usually seems to be the boys who do this stuff.

I think in a previous thread I stated that I was against corporal punishment in the schools, but in this case, I think I am tempted to change that stance. If I were a teacher, I'd be really tempted to greet these kids at the door with a belt in my hand saying, "You have five seconds to pull your pants up before I start swinging."

This is in no way meant to be racial or has much to do with accents but the words used. And I've seen many people use it not just african americans but some Caucasian people as I GUESS its emulating what is spoken in your environment but still.

Why must you speak in slang or with such a drawl - on purpose- that I can barely understand you. The last time I heard it was ages ago but still on occasion I hear it and think well they understand each other.

The best example I can give. "Shawty whatcho daoing here? said i'd hit yaup knawimean? Not word for word but spoken in such a way that doing had an a thrown in their and the words started slurring together and the person was sober.
The other thing is the whole wearing baggy shirts that almost come to your knees and baggy pants that you have to hold up with one hand. I don't see why you need to walk around all day with one hand holding up your pants or walking weird just to keep them from falling or something. I figured at one point that the long shirts cover that they are carrying and that the pants are sagging because of the weight of the gun. Or they wear it because its the latest rapper or famous musician's style. I don't get it, it looks utterly ridiculous to me and I suppose I won't ever know because I don't get it.

now if this is being racist then sue me as I feel I am making an observation and saying that I feel its dumb but as I don't fully understand the cultural part of it or why they do it I still think its...silly in the fact talking in such a way I don't understand you or have to ask you to slow down or that I cannot see myself walking around with baggy clothes that are falling off my hips -putting myself in their point of view/shoes - it seems unnecessary.
