Real language of D.C.: Get 'cised'

[Retrodeb54]

But.....look who's in the area... I call it getto talk. Than you have people who "tlk lik dis on fb n dis rly hrd 2 read" I like delete people who do this ####.

I was born and raised in D.C. it was full of great neighborhoods and great people. Black and white, it wasn't ghetto. Soufeast in fact. Had a few bad areas in town much like SM does, but D.C. was nothing like it is now. Although slowly they are slowly turning it around. Thank goodness, after all it is representing isn't it? We used the slang just as most kids now do. Funny thing how not much has changed. I hate slang in excess like you quoted above. Like anything in life, moderation is the key. I still stand firm that its not a black thing, its an area thing. In excess its an attention thing, these children and adult punks of every race and color these days over use it to draw attention, thats all.To say its a black thing is stereotyping, a bad habit to have. Just like useing slang in excess is.

Back in the 70s 'bama was a derogatory term for negro in middle school.

This was before the great 'Bama came along, but I've started hearing it again lately...

In my 60's and early 70's it was a derogatory slam for anyone you wanted to toss it at. Basicly it was calling someone a 'low life pos'. Oh my,POS? was this internet/forum slang started by a black too?

I always heard some blacks call other blacks "bamas" if they were from the country. That was a long time ago though. Anyway, I think the article is way off track. She's referring to slang words not a Washington accent. And yes, we have one, it's the way some words are pronounced. WaRshington is DC and Maryland. I had relatives in Northern Virginia that would giggle at the way we said some words. Am I from DC or Maryland? I've always said I'm from Maryland right outside of DC, never WaRshington. Or am I a Washingtonion? I've always found people that call it Washington aren't from the DC area. I really noticed it when I moved to So Md 30 years ago.

I was shocked when I moved to SM to find the local people had a southern accent. They had there own slang too. I had never known of or noticed a Marylander that talked southern before that. I thought that twang was for deeper Va. and N.C. not Md. Live and learn.

I know, you could sure tell who grew up here and who didn't. I think all areas have their own little way of talking. People on the Eastern Shore sound different too.

so people don't get confused, we should point out that Obama = Obah-ma which sounds different from bama = bam-a (sounds like wham) so they are totally different words.

Cised means excited, guys.
I'll put it in a somd friendly sentence.

Bama is a bum, someone who is sloppy..not neccessarily unstylish, or if you do something that isn't right.
joint is..like everything is a joint. for awhile people where using "tip" that way too. that got confusing

You say peh-con, I say pee-can. I pronounce the POS-in-Chief's name O-BAM-UH, so it's very close to bama and I still hope he diaf...
