meropischao:

its genuinely fascinating how black people who speak a regional dialect can pick up words from black people who speak another regional dialect and use them correctly after like a good two months of being exposed to it but nonblack people can try to purposely emulate the speech of black folks to seem cool/intimidating/funny/sexy/ etc. and still mangle it after years

linguistics are fun
