Ebonics

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.

White people will try to appropriate ebonics...just watch.

Ebonics

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.)

Supposed "Ebonics": "Look at that hoe."
Supposed English: "Look at that hoe."

Egonomics

Egonomics - The science of designing "menu driven" or thought systems in such a manner as to be intuitive to logical interpretation, especially so as being able to return to the last decision point or to the starting point from any location within the system.

For example, when you are using a "menu" on the telephone, ATM, etc. you want to have the ability to return to the last decision point, or to the beginning of the menu from anywhere within the menu. That would be an example of "good" egonomics.

Egonomics

How ego can influence economics. (My 12th graders came up with this today, during a discussion about the Academy Awards and their effect on the economy.)

When you look at how an Academy Award can affect an actor or technical person or director's career, it is a combo of ego and money; hence, egonomics.

Egonomics

A movement and lifestyle in which a person lives with self-confidence and the inner drive for success.

A person living the egonomics lifestyle will get through any obstacle in life.
