#GhettoWordTranslation


Picture this: you're listening to the latest urban music, or watching a classic "hood" movie, when all of a sudden you hear a word or phrase you've never heard before. You're too embarrassed or confused to ask "What did he say?" or "Should I be offended?" What ever shall you do????

Don't you fret! Because the people of Twitter have given you the #GhettoWordTranslation!!

Thanks to comedian, spoken word artist, and motivator @SpokenReasons, Twitter users have come together to give you this amazing tool. From basic words to the most complicated phrases, you'll NEVER be left out of the loop again!! The following are some examples:

"isusomekin"
"are you related to me?"

"Ain't Nonadees"
"None Of These Are"

"imfinsto"
"I'm about to"

"whatchu got on my fowty?"
"Did you purchase me an alcoholic beverage from the corner store?"

"I'll lee you stankin"
"I will murder you and, presumably, leave your body to decompose."


"You aint bout dat life"
"You dont have what it takes to do something vulgar or out of the norm of what others expect of you."

Now be honest. How much clarity do you have after reading these words and phrases? These are only a few of the understandings you will gain from #GhettoWordTranslation. But don't take MY word for it:
"These are helping really helpful to a white fella like myself!" --
 #GhettoWordTranslation is completely free. But you've got to act fast. It's only around for a limited time...

Are YOU bout that life?
