My friend Leah, who is also a Toastmaster, sent me a link to this video. It is hilarious. (OK, I am a word geek. I like English and I like words!) It’s a parody of Timbaland’s music video “The Way I Are.” It’s called “Bad Grammar – The Way I Are.”
If you don’t have time to watch, it goes something like this:
it’s the latest trend
go an tell your friends
we can all begin
to use some bad grammar
all the latest songs
like to say it wrong
we be singin wit’ some bad grammar
take the last letter
off the end of words
now you talkin’ wit’ some bad grammar
I ain’t pullin’ tricks
with my linguistics
But my FAVORITE part is when he says:
got no proper verbal skills
but I be wearin’ grillz
Seriously, grills just freak me out!! I almost fell off my chair laughing.
