Technically qualified as its own dialect?
I find the slang use in the FP phenomenal. A wholly dedicated combination of redneck-ebonics, modern drug slang, and the more poetic aspects of late 80s-early 90s rap/hip-hop. The profanity is common and pervasive enough to where it's hardly considered profanity, but just...adjectives. Which is wonderfully amusing.
I personally love the phrase 'check a look at chu' along with 'yo' being used exclusively as the only greeting...that's what prompted me to start this thread.
One thing I found extremely brave but possibly offensive was the use of the n-word. It was used here as a term of camaraderie as it is in most black communities. Even still, I don't really know how to approach my feelings. It's common for me to say 'my n-a' with one of my good friends who is black (and no, he's not a token), which he is more than comfortable with, in fact encouraging of. Maybe I'm just being racist toward the cast. I don't really find it offensive here, but should I? Or is the context here fine? These things are still hazy to me.
My partner is an academic-I'm going to screen this with one of her colleagues, a PhD in linguistics, and see what her thoughts on it are. I hope she qualifies it as an actual dialect because that would be chill. Like logs. Logs is chill.
