I have no idea what this has to do with this thread, 1000 pardons, please.
I have worked with several African-American musicians in my day. And it just popped into my head that, when the inevitable cornball caucasian would come up and attempt ebonics the guys for the most part took it good-naturedly, but I never remember them thinking it was funny.
But when the cornball walked away and they would turn to me mocking the cornball's failed attempt, sounding as caucasian as they could, it was the absolute epitome of live comedy.
Excuse me, fellows, I am fixing to bust a move.
Would you kindly pass the chitterlings?
As you were.
