Serious Question

[tmorton]

I am not trying to sound like a racist here at all but I have a serious question. Why is it that some black people pronounce "th" as if it were an f?

E.G. Emmett Smiff

Or, "My girlfriend was wiff me when the police came."

Let's find a nice seafood restaurant and eat some red salmon, I feel a powerful lust for red salmon.

[tmorton]

Ebonics. Thank you Sam. That is the word I was looking for. Cougar, I have no idea what you mean with the red salmon stuff. I wish I did though, because I bet it is pretty funny.

Accents from some parts of England also change the "th" to "ff".

[koby25]

Like Shrimp they say Scrimff

[Masu485]

we also pronounce 'building' as 'biwdin'

[mmike032]

why would you axe such a question?

i remember reading a book or column by Thomas Sowell claiming that the southern (US) dialect, including the southern black dialect, can be traced back to celtic immigrants. (specifically Ulster-Scots and Lowland Scots)

Black rednecks and white liberals is the book I believe. I believe his source was historian Grady McWhiney.

[koby25]

I have met some Black rednecks and also white liberals.

Usually they have a gap in their teeth or just a speech impairment

Damn. I done lost a fiff of my damn money on the Panffers. I put in a free-teamer. Panffers, Piffburg, and St. Louie. But the Panffers fuked me up from the giddy.

I hate the Panffers until they get rid of Jake Delhommie.

[tltaylor89]

That guy might just be a retard

You people voted for Hubert Humphrey, and you killed Jesus.

[tmorton]

Oh, I get that one. Good one.

[Cougar Bait]

Oh, I get that one. Good one.

You Samoans are all the same. You have no faith in the essential decency of the white man's culture.

He said he understood, but I could see in his eyes that he didn't.
