Sarah: Jammin' in the name of the Lord
A friend of mine walked with me down a hallway and were watched by an African American woman in her forties or fifties. After we passed her, the woman said "Daaaaamn. Yabba dabba jabbidy dall." Once we were out of view and hearing range, I verified with my friend what the woman had said. Having a more discerning ear, he corrected me and explained that the woman had said "Y'all be jammin'. I wanna be jammin' with y'all," which, roughly translated, means that she likes how we looked. Well, that's good.

For the record, I’m not your friend, I’m your boyfriend. And as for a more discerning ear, you know what’s up. You know, like nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, ebonics skills...Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills
