Answer 2

wurrd my jigger, Well, back in the 1990's were the times of REAL gangsters, and it wasn't meant to be cool. it was because the kids grew up homeless, and weren't taught with valid education, so talking street was the closest thing you had to school, but today wanksters think it's cool to be illiterate, example Bir(f) instead of Birth, it was never cool to be illiterate, and it never will be.

Probably for the same reason most people who ask questions here write as if they had the "intellegence" of a 7 year old: a school system in shambles.

Answer 6

they think it's cool or something. they sound unintelligent, although i know for sure that some of the people who talk that way are some of the brightest people i've ever met. one of my daughter's former mates was in the top 3% of her graduating class, but to hear her speak you'd think she has no grasp of the language whatsoever. she had a job interview in a professional business office and went there looking and talking like a *gangsta*. needless to say, she did not get the job, even though she was fully qualified for it. she's really only hurting herself by presenting herself that way.

Hey! Let's not insult the nation's great seven-year-old's with these types of comments!
