GrownFolk Language...

Pete and I were at a function with some friends. We were laughing it up as usual, crackin' jokes, and enjoying ourselves to the fullest. Someone observing us commented, "ya'll got ya'll own language don't you?" I never really thought about it like that, but we do. We both can say little phrases that only we know what we're talking about. Well world...i'm about to let you in on the secret. Here are a few GrownFolk phrases that you can incorporate into your vocab if you feel so obliged or you can just use this as a way to understand what the hell we're talking about.

Gawn v. tr: english word....gone: To leave in a manner quicker than usual. Sentence: "When ol' boy saw me he was gawn...he ain't want none". Also refers to something being worn down or used up until it loses all its effectivness. Sentence: "You could hear that nigga car all the way down the block. Brakes squeakin'....them pads is gawn".

Levous n. tr: (pronounced La-vos). Derived from the name of a Jacksonville R&B group. At a show the m.c. was introducing them to the stage and could not pronounce their name correctly. Grownfolk translation: to attract one's attention. Usually used when the person can not be heard on the other end of the phone, is not listening, or is on the other side of the room. Sentence: *Cell phone static* Pete: "Levous...Levous" Shirl: "Here I go...I couldn't hear you"

Milton Bradley n. tr: Derived from the maker of the popular series of board games. The act of playing with somone's emotions, time, or money. Sentence: "His ol' girl is with that Milton Bradley...she know she wanna hook up tonight"

Skust n. tr: (pronounced S-cus-t). Derived from the word Disgusting. To feel turned off, upset or appalled by an action or event. Sentence: You know homie called and tried to borrow some money. Can you believe that? Skust.

904 n. tr: Refers to the time when the cellular minutes are free. Term is taken from the area code of Jacksonville, Florida, hometown of GrownFolk Entertainment. Sentence: "Pete I need to holla at you about some things. I'ma hit you up at the 9:04"

We have alot of little phrases, sounds, and words that we use but here are a few that we use more frequently. Use 'em at your own risk!!
