people like Jammer have in my opinion contributed a lot to our wonderful language. Its all about inventing silly fun new lingo and then rinsing it out !! Dont u remember how fun it was back in school?

Like dan says dont take it too seriously, and dont allow yourself to get taken away with it too much, but otherwise its all about fun with patrois(es) (whats the plural of patois??)

what words has jammer made?

shower? murkle? neckle? theres others, but its more the idea that you CAN do that, and then expand upon it by using the words as verbs, adjectives and nouns in different combinations

fun with language

Transatlanticism and the black cultural diaspora has resulted in a linguistic exchange which has been especially evident within London for decades, with music subculture being a key proponent of this nexus.

ha ha ha. wot is this, mate? have you enrolled in "history of the english language" course?

so there we go then that means it was apropriated into grime just like its now been apropriated into the language of grime fans. fluid flows. nothing to be afraid of

i reckon the dubstep and urban authorities should introduce legislation restricting the number of slang terms an individual can use, dependent on their linguistic history and from where they gained knowledge of the meaning of the words in question (i.e. internet source - no, other source - yes)

thats the only way i can see that the use of such words can be restricted to those individuals who have the right to use them without sounding like a twat.

Fackin ell, someone swaller a dictionary or what?

I've often found stealing Dick Van Dyke's accent from Mary Poppins to be quite entertaining - don't know how he got the vernacular quite so spot on. Appy ollerdays indeed.

I think affecting really posh voices is far more amusing to be honest, maybe this is what the grime mc's should be doing - notice how quickly all the middle-classes end up trying to sound like themselves so as to sound down. Didn't Slick Rick try this? Oh, and of course Dave Chappelle's impersonation of L'il Jon where he's not saying "whut", "yayerr" or "Ooohkaaayy".

Shower posse in Jamaica, as in shower you with bullets.
Shower man= Gun man
Shower face= Looking like gun man, ie screw face

Not as I originally thought some kind of male bonding ritual derived from prison culture.

With you on this one- I often find myself talking in extremely long and convoluted phrases simply to put across the simplest of points entirely for the amusement of myself
