Corny white people who gentrify and misuse AAVE/EBONICS SLANG THEN CHANGE IT AND CALL IT GEN ALPHA/GEN Z SLANG WHEN IT'S BEEN A THING FOR DECADES Development of AAVE and historical connection to african dialects and slave resistance Ebonics (translate literally to "Black language") came first and had a very particular connotation. Basically, it was viewed as "improper" English. It was associated with pidgin (hodge-podge) or nonsense languages (like Jive or made fun of in pop culture such as the character Anton from Living Color. The implication was often paired with media/cultural depictions of Black folks as uneducated, trying to get above their station, being ghetto/low class, etc. Basically, it was a stereotype that the way Black people talked was due to being stupid AND part of what made they inherently different or un-American. It was a form of distancing them from "correct" American (educated white) behavior even if they were born in the US. It was viewed as a separate language NOT a dialect (this definition is political, not linguistic). By contrast, the phrase AAVE was officially recognized in 1996 by the Oakland School Board to affirm the fact that African Americans are American citizens with their own dialect of English. It was used to distinguish and validate the grammatical nuances while also moving away from the harmful stereotyping with Ebonics. AAVE does have its own set of grammatical rules, such as the use of habitual "be" (AAVE grammar). (source reddit)
The Urban Dictionary Mug
me and the boys when i get vodka mug
I ordered 3 of your mugs, with different names on them. There was a typo in the information about the name on the back of each of the mugs. This wasn’t a dealbreaker because the people who received them liked them. However, it would be nice if somebody who has basic proficiency in spelling English words could proofread the script for all of your names before they’re prepared.
Arrived on time. Great packaging. Communication with vendor was top-notch. High quality item.
I love it! Thanks! So
Great present for a retiring colleague with custom saying she's known for!
Loved this mug! So unique and you can edit the text to add something unique.
I gave it to my friend who took money from me and never returned.
I love the fact that I was able to customize my name since I've never been able to find anything with my name. The only downside is it's smaller than I thought it would be (I guess I didn't pay much attention to that), wish it was bigger, only about 10 oz total.
It's simply awesome; and plus, the word means a lot.
Really fast and looks great! Took a chance on Christmas gift and it was a success!
Awesome mug feels really nice good weight and color although I think the shade could be a little brighter when it comes to the highlighter yellow, I am still pleased with the outcome and the fact that a whole passage was so neatly printed onto the product, very pleased with the packaging too! That made it so easy to wrap just in time for Christmas. Who knew!!
okay so the mug was mid but when you have a genz meme and give it to one of the most serious people you know then it's pretty funny
Nice mug, great feel‼️
Perfect!
Good quality ceramic cup! Worth the novelty price!
Perfect gift for my gf
Looks great! Came quick
Gave it to my nerd brother. He used it consume liquid
Love it
as a fan of non-Z-generation-UD (since 2000 more or less) , especially of old-school definitions ("phat!") (as Nick, the more time passes by, the more I reach my inner age = 75 XD) , I totally appreciated the delivery in time for Christmas! (whispering) Perhaps printing quality in the Spain printing company is not as good as in the US, but - hey! - I got it before Christmas as a gift for my thank-God-non-Gen-Z-sister! ;) hugs from the eighties, and from Italy, and thanks!
