Subject: ASSC Lapping Ebonics; a primer From: SICK66With all the recent talk about Ebonics, a few questions have been raised here in ASS-C, most notable is the question of how one would ask an ebonite for a lap. This has prompted the research into practical lapping Ebonics and resulted in a basic English to Ebonics protocol for requesting a lap. As follows: customer: Say baby, slide me some rump on the hindside, dig? trans(I'd like a lap, are you available) Dancer: Twenty dollar to the beat go trans(sure, laps are twenty dollars a song) customer: I be down wit what it come to. Where them skills do? trans(that sounds reasonable. Show me to the booth) This of course is merely a basic functional adaptation to one confined situation.The need for further research will be necessary to further the cause of Lapping Ebonics in order to extend the multicultural SC experience. Grants have been applied for and research continues. Please support Lapping Ebonics and send your contribution today. Thank You. Professor SICKtothe66
