GammaGlobulin Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) a. Never had I heard the term "prop" or "props" b. Recently, this slang term "prop" has come into vogue. c. Why? d. Is this a new term?.... e. I thought to myself.... And then, it hit me. The term prop must have originated long ago, even though I knew not what it meant. My guess is that it must be sort of a black-culture term that has now been adopted outside black culture, into the mainstream. Here's what I'm talkin' 'bout.... You got the slang word PROPS here, for sure, at least twice. Do you enjoy using the word, PROPS? If so....then..... PROPS to you! Personally, I prefer the way they talk at Oxford and Cambridge. Not too many guys at Oxford that can Jive Talk, is my guess. What about you? Do YOU speak Jive? Regards, Gamma Note: Love this scene. Most great linguistics researchers do..... Someday, I, too, will speak JIVE.... Edited January 31 by GammaGlobulin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirineou Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) With inflation and vowels costing so much in Thailand people are more and more opting for words that have as few of them as possible. Edited January 31 by sirineou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
