The true definition of ebonics is a made up version of english
so that we can reclaim a new language that was taken away from
us in slavery. Even though blacks have made up ebonics and other cultural things, everyone in america tries to copy it. Thus we can never have anything we say or create truely ours, because everyone wants a peice of the black/african pie.

Get the ebonics mug.Ebonics actually goes all the way back to the times of enslavement where Africans mixed their dialect with that of their European captors. Not being able to properly speak the language, slaves would combine sounds and create new words. "Finna" and extension of fixing to is an example of this.

Get the Ebonics mug.Related Words
An racist term (in my opinion) describing how black people supposedly speak, when in reality, a lot of white peoples talk like that too. (But seriously, who the hell says "I'm going to" anymore. Literally everybody says, or has at least said once or unintentionally, "I'm gonna." Or "Imma". Who has the patience to say the full word? At least no one I know. It's just faster. That's why not many people say " Long Island Express." They say "L.I.E". Plus, no one even says "dat" or "hizzy", anymore. That's just an exaggeration.)

Get the Ebonics mug.n. - Personal name popular with African Americans or found exclusively in African American communities.
For girls, Ebonics names typically follow the pattern of three syllables with the stress on the second vowel. This may be accomplished by adding a prefix to a mainstream, two-syllable name, or by inventing a name from scratch. Less commonly, a two-syllable name is made by adding a syllable to the ending "-elle."
For boys, Ebonics names are often names formerly popular with whites. Otherwise, they are two syllable names with the stress on the second syllable. This pattern can be achieved by adding a prefix to a single-syllable mainstream name, or by inventing a name by combining two syllables. As with girls, a boy's name can also be formed with the "-el" (notice masculine spelling) ending.
Invented Ebonics names often begin with the syllables La/Le, Da/De, or Sha/She.

Get the Ebonics name mug.Ebonics is an attempt to ruin the beautiful English language, which has been pulled by uneducated, generally illiterate people, who usually are thugs, pimps, thieves etc. It is very common. It is frequent among any population in a large city, in any part of the anglosphere, or for that matter, nearly anywhere in the world. But it started off with people who didn't learn english very well and lived in the south.
