Trisha:
> All these slang expressions aren't even getting into the subculture 
languages like Ebonics.
> 
> Axe - used in place of "ask" or "asked"  (I hear this one all the 
time)
> 
<snipped>

now Shirley:
Do you live in New Orleans/Louisiana?  I haven't heard that 
expression since I moved away from there!

Shirley, thinking she knows what "ebonics" is, but not really sure...
