So I got this Hispanic buddy. We shoot the shit and give each other crap all the time.
So we were kidding around and he said something to me all smart ass, and I responded with "yo' momma!" In a very deep English tone.
So he says that I fucked up - "yo" in Spanish means "I". So basically he's saying when I was trying to say "your momma" in slang English, I actually said "my momma" and schooled myself.
I get that, but my view is I WAS SPEAKING ENGLISH, NOT SPANISH. I don't care what my words might have meant in Spanish, French, or Klingon. I was speaking English, with a black accent maybe, but it was still English.
Thoughts on who is wrong and who is right?
Thanks.
