ebonics

Also called African-American Vernacular English (AAVE)Black English, Black Vernacular, or Black English Vernacular (BEV). A creole of the American English language. Known colloquially as Ebonics, Ebo, or Jive. With pronunciation that in some respects is common to that of Southern American English, as the majority of the slaves' descendants first lived in the South. Spoken by many people of African descent in the United States and ethnic minorities worldwide. Shares many characteristics with various Creole English dialects spoken by people of African descent in much of the world. NOT simply "bad English", as it has grammatical origins in, and pronunciation characteristics in common with, various West African languages.

NOT the same as urban or hip-hop slang ("izzle's", crack-a-lackin'), although urban slang has been greatly influenced by AAVE

Ebonics has contributed to Standard American English words of African origin ("gumbo", "goober", "yam", "banjo", "bogus") and slang expressions ("cool," "hip," "hep cat").

Ernicio

A strong, handsome, large man. Ernicio will wake up and be ready for whatever. Nobody questions Ernicio or his thoughts because he intimidates anyone who sees him. People are genuinely afraid of Ernicio but once you get to know him he tends to make your day fantastic.

I met a man named Ernicio and he was the best.

intellectual ebonics

When smart people deliberately talk in a manner the rest of us can't understand. Used by doctors, lawyers, politicians, and especially academics as a way to inflate their ego and make them feel superior to you.

"Hey man did you understand a single thing Eric Weinstein said?"

"Nah he's speaking in intellectual ebonics."
