 German  English

"Die schwarze Szenesprache ist derart codiert" erklärt sie, "dass man immer hinterfragen muss, was wollen die Leute eigentlich sagen." So machte sie aus Codes wie "Yo man" und "shit" "die hundertfünfzig Bedeutungen haben können", in einem Gespräch unter Crackdealern den Satz: "Oh Mann, wir müssen das arme Schwein unbedingt im Krankenhaus besuchen. Den hat's übel erwischt." [G] "The street language of the blacks is so coded" she explains, "that you always have to think about what the people really want to say." She therefore turned codes such as "Yo man" and "shit", "which can have a hundred and fifty different meanings", in a conversation between crack dealers into the line: "Oh Mann, wir müssen das arme Schwein unbedingt im Krankenhaus besuchen. Den hat's übel erwischt" (Hey man, we have to visit the poor guy in hospital. He's in a bad way).
