Where you at?


ebonics: the uneducated way of asking “where are you”. an urban expression that is usually spoken on the telephone to determine someone’s location. this expression has been used for years in the hood and has been around long before cell phones existed.
“h-llo”
hi girl what’s up?
“where you at?
a commonly asked question despite its incorrect use of english. this sentence ends in a preposition and its use should be forbidden.
where you at : 7 out of 10 people use this phrase on a regular basis. please refer to television, radio, mtv, or random conversations in your local city.
sad attempt by mobile to connect with a younger, “hipper” generation. also a rampant exploitation of the frail elderly…these people are forced to speak in ebonics, talk to ludacris, wear ridiculous hairstyles, and say things n-body says like “i’m at this bangin party, yo” and “peace up…”
where you at? the whole city’s behind us!
another sign that the media is trying to make us all stupider.

kelly: “that’s right. ignore cell phone commercials and re-learn what your second grade teacher tried in vain to get through your thick skull.”

and we never heard from poor john again.
