I think that is a black culture thing since I see it constantly among the black softball players I play with....and they're seniors too.
A white friend of mine was recruited to play on a senior black softball team for a tournament a number of years ago and said he could not believe the trash talking that was going on between the two teams and fully expected a fight to break out at any time.......
He said he made a good catch in one of the games and one of his own players called him a bitch and another player had to tell him that was just a way of saying you made a great play.......LOL!
Sometimes when I talk with her, she slips into a street slang, n***ga talk that I can hardly understand. She used the f-word a lot.
When I ask her why she's talking like that, she apologizes and reverts back to her normal, clear-spoken English.
She says almost all of her employees are young, mostly uneducated blacks who talk like that all of the time. She learned to talk like that herself in order to understand and keep up with what her employees were saying. It was the only way to communicate with them she told me.
She said that without learning the way they talk, it would like being in a foreign country and not knowing the language.
