As do I!

Huzzah is the BEST PHRASE EVER.

I don't mind Americans picking up English slang, it's cute. I just wish they'd learn to bloody well spell properly...

lmao.. chief

But you ARE a battyman, look what sort of thread you started, and I don't really think you should be using the word chief........

question is:

is peng the same as leng?

lmao still makes me laugh when people think Skank is a so called "black word"

really makes me laugh

Skank is the form of dancing you do to SKA.

either the obvious madness "jog" or moving your body forward and back in fast jerking motions.

Yes my dad was a ska man.

lol

Leng used to mean gun, as in skeng a leng, but because it sounds like peng now it means the same thing as peng sometimes.



skeng 28 up, 3 down

A knife / blade weapon

Derives from Jamaican patois, often confused with Leng (firearm/gun)

Allow that boy man, he's packin a skeng

Draw fi skeng man, slice n dice

2. Skeng 21 up, 12 down

A gun. or firearm of some sort

oi dem boys got skengs on dem!

There ya go Spaceboy




I swear Ska is Caribbean black music, therefore skank is a Caribbean word, unless it mean getting ripped offf, but even then I think it still might be! Skeng used to be the noise for r3eggae guitars as well and ska is the sharper sound of Ska's choppy down strokes

I beleive ska is actually englands (white) version of the reggae sound

but who give a fuck music is music it shouldnt hold any boundaries

Ska is jamaican and preceded reggae!

Think there was also bluebeat and rock steady before reggae.

The english version's 2-tone really, the legacy of which was pissed on royally by the ska-punk movement which is generally fucking horrible.

Haha, mighty mighty bosstones in your face!

To get back to the topic though, why the fuck do I speak english if I'm scottish (the scots being an irish tribe that spoke gaelic or whatever and the Angles were from Schleswig in Germany!) Because different cultures impact upon one another, nearly nothing in language and culture is fully autoctonous and thank fuck for that, things would be less interesting otherwise.

(didnt realise there was an original ska music btw sorry to all the jamicans inside)

is fucking great man

I grew up listening to that some great memories of my dad and uncles skanking out in halls and pubs to bands like madness or police the jam etc etc.

love that music man

Madness were two-tone! He's not slagging that stuff, he's slagging Less than jake, mighty mighty bosstones etc. I believe.

apparently rock steady came after ska, as the result of a particularly hot summer in Jamaica, thus the bands slowed the tempo for the dances and rock steady developed! jokes...

dont know about bluebeat tho? whats that?

LOL.. obiwan, you're fuckin priceless. Thoroughbread waste-man...

Theres nothing Jamaican about bad manners?

I mean, Rory from "They think its all over" (that gameshow with jonathon ross) was a member of Bad manners...

Oh, and going back to the whole ska debate thang.

As far as im aware there has been 3 waves of ska, the VERY old (were talking 50's here i think, anything earlier than that is generally referred to as stride isnt it? And i dont think it has the off beat note that pretty much defines ska) wave being the first wave, that in all honesty i know very little about, its the kind of ska records you hear where it sounds like it could honestly have been recorded down a telephone or some such...

Then youve got second wave ska (two-tone label for example) which is your madness/the beat/bad manners etc.

Then you have 3rd wave, where people murder the purity of a genre by adding my least favourite noise of all time that is distorted guitar. (Although im not 100% dissing it, back in the day a good old 3rd wave ska gig would get the blood pumping i tell thee, some SERIOUS skank out business)

Yeah, shame almost everyone is chatting almost as much shit as you and taking the heat off your 'nervous sweat' style of thread. How can you think Ska is English? How can you not know about early Ska? Why are you such a pedantic, self conscious person? J Dub U you need to get in a few record shops mate! Hope everyone lerned something today....
