Bill, it’s not just in AAVE. “Nasty” can refer to sensory stuff all over the South Dennis, did you know that “nasty” can refer to sensory stuff in AAVE? Like “This food tastes nasty.”
Yeah; that’s a good idea, but you missed the turnoff to the airport. We’re going to miss our flights Really! I have to talk to more of you Southern guys.
Damn! OK. I’m turning around. (!@#%^&*()_)(*&^%$#)
(Now he’s pissed ‘cause he’s probably going to miss his flight. What can I do?) (!@#%^&*()_)(*&^%$#!@#$%^&*?#)
Bill, thanks a lot. I’d be delighted to. (But I still don’t want to miss my flight.) Hey, Dennis! How’d you like to come to the next Penn NWAVE and present some of that perceptual dialectology stuff? (I guess we can stand it.)
