My love for the English language and my extremely white girl liking of rap music created an interesting situation in my Advanced Grammar class a few days ago.
Our professor told us that we’d be “working on our verb problems.” Naturally, my immediate first response was:
“If you’re havin’ verb problems, I feel bad for you son; I got 99 problems but a verb ain’t one.”
In my mind, my professor bobbed her head appreciatively and gave me extra credit.
In reality, she said, “Anyway…” and continued with the lecture.
