Contemporary vernacular

A current mode of speaking that may confuse others who are not familiar with the current events and trends in society.

"We lurked out in the streets for a few hours but then she told me to come over so I came through cause it's really nothing."
"I have no idea what you said I am having a hard time grasping your contemporary vernacular."

slave vernacular

Refers to the broken English utilized by African slaves who learned to speak English during their enslavement in America. This form of speech became prefered by White people of the time, as it validated their belief that Africans were inferior and incapable of learning to be civilized. After a time, many children and decendants of slaves, both freed and still in captivity, utilized some form of slave dialect while in the presence of White people, but in private spoke proper English, read books, and wrote poetry.

An example of Slave Vernacular taken from Paul Lawrence Dunbar's (1872-1906)"An Easy Goin Feller":
"An' ez fur boss, I'll be my own,
I like to jest be let alone,
To plough my strip an' tend my bees,
An' do jest like I doggoned please."
