Skraeling

Pronunciation: /skrailIN/ skr - ay - ling, like the "ay" in day

The word is used to refer to anyone who listens to rap music and speaks Ebonics or more professionally called African American Vernacular English — and who also exhibits many characteristics of stereotypical urban African Americans. The term is used to refer to a member of any race, including blacks and whites. A related term is Skraespeak, which is used to refer to the African American dialect.
