Only on GAF can can you find people locked in intense debate over the proper gramatical use of the word fuck.

There's actually a discussion of this subject in Tom Wolfe's new book I Am Charlotte Simmons, which I'm reading now. The analysis goes on for a while, but here's the short version:

--In Fuck Patois, the word fuck was used as an interjection ("What the fuck" or just plain "Fuck" with or without an exclamation point) expressing unhappy surprise; as a participial adjective ("fucking guy") expressing disparagement or discontent; as an adverb modifying and intensifying an adjective ("pretty fucking obvious") or a verb ("I'm gonna fucking kick his ass"); as a noun ("That stupid fuck"); as a verb meaning Go away("Fuck off"); as an imperative expressing contempt ("Fuck you"). Rarely--the usage had become somewhat archaic--but every now and then it referred to sexual intercourse ("He fucked her on the carpet in front of the TV").

By the way, this book is hilarious.

Why? Not all rappers speak in language so slang-laden as his. I've read/heard interviews with others that I understood perfectly.

And if Cam'Ron is somehow well-known for speaking in heavy slang, well, pardon me for not subscribing to The Source.

Most of the slang was when he quoted himself talking to people, not the interviewer.

Fuck is the English equlivent to the word Smurf.

Well, sure. But I couldn't have possibly known that that was the course the interview would take before entering the thread.

Cam'Ron can talk however he wants, of course. But people who were thrown by the depth of his slang -- the likes of which they were not expecting -- should not have that held against them.

 

[The Faceless Master]

speaking of Cam'ron, anyone ever see that clip of him and Dame on The Factor?

 

[Tazznum1]

uhhh..I read it but I have no idea what the fuck he said. Can someone summarize?

I'll summarize.


Fuck shit dog ass whack B. Damn diggity yo player pimp ho fuck.
"Chi, mo' fo buttuh layin' into the bone, 'sjackin' me up. Tightly."
"I'm sorry, I don't understand."
"Cut he say can't hang."
"Oh stewardess? I speak Jive."
"Oh, good."
"He said that he's in great pain, and he wants to know if you can help him."
"Alright, would you tell him to just relax and I'll be back as soon as I can with some medicine."
"Jes' hang loose, blood. She gonna catch up on the rebound on the med side."
"What it is, big mama, my mama didn't raise no dummies, I dug her rap."
"Cut me some slack, Jack!"
[Volley of Jive talkin']
"Chump don't want no help, chump don't get no help."
"Say can't hang, say seven up."
"Jive ass dude don't got no brains, anyhow."

[michael000]

[Kave_Man]

I use those lines almost everyday.

 

[Truelize]

That was hilarious :lol I hope Halle is ready for the world to now. Seeing as Tate says in that article that it was a secret. :lol

 

[Fowler]

Halle Berry?
Hell yeah! Actually, I’m gonna tell you such a funny story about Halle Berry, this is some crazy shit. This was back before my first album came out, I don’t think I even had a video out or anything. I was in L.A. on a promo tour, I just had a CD of snippets from Who’s Camron. I was wolfin’, I hadn’t had a haircut for like two months. I had just got finished playing basketball, so I ain’t have no shirt on and I was sweaty.

He was in LA before he was famous, and he looked and smelled like shit.

:lol

 

[Tazznum1]

Was she still married to David Justice at that time?

If that is the case, then I'm glad her ex-husband was a sex addict and cheated on the bitch. If not...then why the secret?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Larenz Tate is like 5'4". Props to the guy for bagging Halle.

 

[Trakball]

Not even really thinly-veiled racism is the new junior member bashing

 

[Days like these...]

l33t nerds need to stop being willfully obtuse yo! :/rolleyes

 

[Pimpwerx]

the slang phrases are entirely decipherable from context. some of you people are being wilfully dense. but what does "i fucks with you," in isolation, mean? it can't be as specific as "i listen to your music," can it?

It means "I'm down with you" or "We're cool". That's what it means to me at least. Anyway, it jus reminds me of something the lady at TRU said to me last night, and that bit from How High. Where Meth and Red are talking to the dean or whatever and they're like "We fucks wit you" and he's like, "Yeah, we'll fox together". :lol Last night, the lady at TRU told me I could return the monitor no problem as long as it didn't look like I "foxed with it". I had to laugh, I could swear she wanted to say "fucked wit it". Some white lady too. Anyway, just thought I'd share. PEACE.

EDIT: BTW, Cam is a meal-mouthed moron. He was on O'Reilly with Dame Dash last year, and he made Dame look like a fucking genius. But that interview still sounds funny as hell.

 

[Pimpwerx]

Well I had no idea who Cam'Ron is, but I did know who Halle Berry is, so I thought I would check out the thread. I still don't know who this Cam'Ron guy is, but I do know he's a moron now, and I will steer clear of any future threads about him.

Everyday, you redefine white. :lol Seriously, some of the stuff you said in this thread is like stereotypical whiteboy, I don't know. I didn't think the interview was that incomprehensible. PEACE.

 

[Trakball]

Come on man, don't put me in the same class as that guy just because we both lack melanin. Fuck that.

That O'Reilly interview was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen or heard. "I'm gonna get at you, dawgie!" :lol

 

[Error Macro]

nope..it is just slang you dont understand and instead of using "context clues" to figure out the meaning of the various slang terms and usages, you choose some grammatical high horse and call a very clear statment "incoherrent" because you dont understand the lingo.

Durrrrrr... yes there is.

I understood everything he was attempting to say. See, I can use my brain to decipher this ill-conceived shit.

 

[Son of Godzilla]

Oh I get it.

"I Fucks with you" doesn't mean "I'm fucking with you" (Literal or otherwise), but rather "I listen to your music (Or possibly with you somewhere nearby) while fucking."

 

[Manabanana]

Larenz Tate is like 5'4". Props to the guy for bagging Halle.

Although I've read every post in this thread, it wasn't until this one that I finally realized it wasn't Terry Tate. This story just got a hell of a lot less interesting.

 

[mrmyth]

Oh I get it.

"I Fucks with you" doesn't mean "I'm fucking with you" (Literal or otherwise), but rather "I listen to your music (Or possibly with you somewhere nearby) while fucking."

Actually, it means 'you're a fucking nutbag if you think it means that'.

 

[Socreges]

Yeah, that was the only thing I didn't get. The only meaning I know for "I fucks with you" is "I am making your life more difficult," not "I enjoy your work."

Same.

That's kind of demented.

Actually, it means 'you're a fucking nutbag if you think it means that'.

He was kidding.
