Are you serious? Please say you’re just trying the sarcasm mechanism!
ROFLMAO
It’s pretty bad when the pub feels the need to give pronunciation guides for these names.
It's also unfortunate that things have gotten to the point where written text of what the person is saying is scrolled on the bottom of the TV screen sometimes during news reports and various interviews, but without that I would sometimes have no idea what they're saying.
I would believe there is an interesting ‘background story’ to this little criminal event. As no drug or other illicit substance charges are listed, I would guess that neither Ky-ee-sha or her disrepectful victim are strangers to the Yonkers PD. Just a hunch...but given that her mug shot was posted, I was also surprised that it took eight posts to get to the ‘guilt/not guilty’ one.
LOL - yes, I guess that happens too!
Of course, in my neck of the woods/concrete, there is no subtitling because they sure act like that’s normal in their broadcast city with both crime and “happy” stories. Us suburbanites outside the ‘hood just have to concentrate hard.
I've been here (FR) a long time; and when I first arrived I was still in that 'phase' of motherhood...and I was aghast at the BF threads. They are ugly ones...
I wish that the subtitling would be done far more often. I have perfect hearing; the problem is that I have read a few books and haven’t spent my life hanging around illiterate criminal street trash. Apparently, many ‘news’ outlets feel that ‘hoodspeak’ is perfectly fine and normal, and of course everybody can understand it.......
Not yet, anyway....

You're most likely correct. Anybody who would ACTUALLY stab another human being over WORDS has the refinement and self-control of a hyena or a jackal, if that, and is probably a frequent flyer at the local PD.
Let's compromise. To women, she may be good looking. To the majority of guys, she's ugly.
so, uh.. what do you look like?
maybe we should get a guilty/ not guilty vote on you.
i amazed that so many people still don’t get the simplest philosophy of lasting relationships:
outer beauty is a reason to say “hi”
inner beauty is a reason to say “i do”
What I don’t get is the number of folks who call others ugly without posting their own pictures. ;) And I also find the current standard of beauty so narrow, no one can be beautiful.
I have the opposite attitude....most people are beautiful until they prove otherwise.
I know you’re a cutie BTW.
Now that is a good one, LOL
Breasts are ALWAYS beautiful, up to a certain age.
Do you know?
prolly based solely on the fact that you criticized him.
Gotcha.
“many ‘news’ outlets feel that ‘hoodspeak’ is perfectly fine and normal, and of course everybody can understand it”
Yes, because that is what they assume their audience consists of.
In which case, may I suggest the “anchors” and so on learn ebonics so the largest part of the audience can understand.
