Ebonics. Do you use/ understand
I wasn't really raised around it so when I hear people/ family use it I never can follow anything.
What about you???

This thread is not worth the WP at all you folks, remain calm and try not to drag the OBVIOUS suspects.
Anyway, yes I understand, I use sometimes but not often.

My family is from rural Georgia and Suburban/urban Florida so yes I do understand it completely. I don't really speak it unless i'm around them though, it just comes out naturally (but not heavily lol).

I mostly don't like when people use fam for everybody they know and if we not close refer to me as that.

I always cringe when I hear "Finna". It's such a Country term, too.
