Ebonics are the simplification and shorthand of American English. Other definitions on Urban Dictionary have a negative perspective of Ebonics mostly because of the content of what is said. While that is relevant information it doesn't quite get at the root of what Ebonics is, which is a language device for efficiency. In that way it is Permaculture and a very beautiful thing indeed.
'Love' Ebonics are how Twista can say:
"I'm rippin a rap and then rockin a rhythm and ring in my tongue I'ma bend em
And flow with a lyric it's steppin inside em
And get with the funk I be pumpin up in em
With this and it's the..."

Get the 'LOVE' Ebonics mug.An insult so absolutely deep and personal that it qualifies as an Instant Win in the argument, akin to the effect of Exodia the Forbidden One.
It is to be used solely as a last resort, as it is extremely powerful and potentially devastating to one's personal relationship.

ANDREW: So Sarah used an Exodia troll on me....
TIM: Ouch. What happened?
ANDREW: We were having an argument and she brought up that one time I forgot my lines in the middle of my play last year.
TIM: Damn. I'm sorry, man. That's a low blow.

Get the Exodia troll mug.(n.) derivative word form resulting from the combination of "ebony" (referring to pigmentation) and "phonics". An evolving form of American English popularized in multimedia. Once only heard/spoken primarily in impoverished urban neighborhoods, it has infiltrated American culture to the point where some of the nation's largest public school districts even considered teaching it as part of the general curriculum.
The "For Dummies" publishing company would make a mint if they printed an "Ebonics For Dummies" title.
