Temat: Portray of culture and slang in movies

Not so long ago, I watched the "Green Street Hooligans" and one scene caught my attention. It was when Frodo first entered the Pub and had a serious issue getting his head wrapped around the slang that was being used. In a short probably about 3 min scene his new found friends explained to him how the British slang works. I've been wondering how accurate it was. More often than not we see slang being used in commercials and movies in an unnatural way. For example in the movie "Training day" the character of Denzel Washington is this hardcore cop who often uses slang, but somehow it is very hard to believe that Denzel would use the majority of those phrases.

US Slang 101

Lyrics:

Yo, pay attention
And listen real closely how I break this slang shit down

Check it, my weed smoke is my lye
A ki of coke is a pie
When Im lifted, Im high
With new clothes on, Im fly
Cars is whips and sneakers is kicks
Money is chips, movies is flicks
Also, cribs is homes, jacks is pay phones
Cocaine is nose candy, cigarettes is bones
A radio is a box, a razor blade is a ox
Fat diamonds is rocks and jakes is cop
And if you got rubbed, you got stuck
You got shot, you got bucked
And if you got double-crossed, you got fucked
Your bankroll is your poke, a choke hold is a yoke
A kite is a note, a con is a okey doke
And if you got punched that mean you got snuffed
To clean is to buff, a bull scare is a strong bluff
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin it

Chorus: repeat (2x)

speak with criminal slang -nas
Thats just the way that I talk, yo
vocabulary spills, Im ill -nas

Yo, yo
A burglary is a jook, a woofs a crook
Mobb deep already explained the meanin of shook
If you caught a felony, you caught a f
If you got killed, you got left
If you got the dragon, you got bad breath
If you 730, that mean you crazy
Hit me on the hip means page me
Angel dust is sherm, if you got aids, you got the germ
If a chick gave you a disease, then you got burned
Max mean to relax, guns and pistols is gats
Condoms is hats, critters is cracks
The food you eat is your grub
A victims a mark
A sweat box is a small club, your tick is your heart
Your apartment is your pad
Your old man is your dad
The studio is the lab and heated is mad
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin it

Chorus (2x)

The iron horse is the train and champaign is bubbly
A deuce is a honey thats ugly
If your girl is fine, shes a dime
A suit is a fine, jewelry is shine
If you in love, that mean you blind
Genuine is real, a face card is a hundred dollar bill
A very hard, long stare is a grill
If you sneakin to go see a girl, that mean you creepin
Smilin is cheesin, bleedin is leakin
Beggin is bummin, if you nuttin you comin
Takin orders is sunnin, an ounce of coke is a onion
A hotels a telly, a cell phones a celly
Jealous is jelly, your food box is your belly
To guerrilla mean to use physical force
You took a l, you took a loss
To show off mean floss, uh
I know you like the way Im freakin it
I talk with slang and ima never stop speakin itRafal Wolk edytował(a) ten post dnia 05.06.08 o godzinie 00:24

For me, the slang in the Snatch by Guy Ritchie is one of the least comprehensible things in films I've come across. And fun!

Not slang itself, but the redneck movies with Burt Reynolds...

A bit of the Southern drawl, and believe me, the South hasn't changed that much since the 1970's.

"So bona to vada, Oh, you, with your lovely eek and your lovely riah!"

Bonus points for defining that quote:
a) if you're not a native speaker
b) without using the internet
