Ah yes... The "Ebonics" Trend, The "Jerry Springer" Trailerpark Dialect, The I'll-Type-Like-I-Text Lifestylers !!

Then there's the Jive talk of the 1940's Jitter-bugging Teens and the Zoot Suiters. It's been around the USA forever... Probably started with one of Thomas Jefferson's children mocking their father:
