ok, i must really be losing my english.

a "gully" is a ditch last i knew and dictionary.com confirms it...

quote:
gul�ly1
n. pl. gul�lies

A deep ditch or channel cut in the earth by running water after a prolonged downpour.
which is, as Iberian said, a "barranco".

if it is really wide and used for water, you could also say "canal".

my question for you Pr0x1mo is... "what does the word gully have to do with juice and/or realness?" Confused

saludos,
jer...

LOL you cats iz straight clowns, whodie!

jk

There is a literal definition for it, but it's also slang.

Like something is fat? Like, it's phat!

But gully is used as, "yo, keep it gully"

meaning, keep it real. Or, "He's gully" meaning he has the juice, the griminess, keepin it real dunn! Na' mean shun? (know what i mean, son)

ur welcome ocean :jeje:

yes, the word slang is "argot" or "jerga" in spanish.

"argot" is more general and "jerga" is more specific (for groups).

also, gypsie slang is called "cal�", as in ... "�paaaayyyyyoooo, se me cal� el jodido coche!" :jeje: :jeje: :jeje:

btw, i read on your homepage...

quote:
CC Is in need of monitary help..The bandwidth every month jumps 4GB and by next month we will be WAY over our alocated bandwidth..
i just visited and used up some more of that lovely bandwidth Big Grin

Pr0x1mo, i feel your pain (then again, with all that weed maybe you don't feel it at all :jeje: ) but i put multimadrid on an unlimited bandwidth server from the start as i know there would be huge data transfer what with all my videos and photos, not to mention the very active forums.

maybe you should do that too.

i do between 60 and 80 GB a month on this site and pay a fixed 300�/year for 500MB hosting with all the bells and whistles Eeker

i use www.easyspace.co.uk ( also at www.easyspace.com ) in london in case you are interested.

saludos,
jer...

p.d. by the way, does anyone actually donate via your paypal donation button?

just curious as a fellow webmaster since i have had a "support my site" button up for years on my main webcam page...



... which links to a donation page at http://www.multimadrid.com/mm_info/donate.htm but i have never had a single monetary donation Frowner :cry:

i think one of the problems is that the average person has no idea of what kind of time and money goes into keeping a decent sized and heavily visited site on the www.

LOL

actually, that's not my site, it's my favorite rappers site: Canibus, not cannabis LOL

His real name is Germaine Williams. It's a site dedicated to him and his music. He doesn't own it personally, it's like a group of 5 kids around they're early 20's that own it.

The reason why i was asking for slang translations is because this Rapper is very eloquently spoken, but sometimes uses slang, and i try to translate all his songs from english to spanish, and i wind up getting stuck on the slang words.

If you want, i'll post a sample of one his songs in english, then show you how i translated it to spanish.

Well my Man, to tell you the truth, no I don't listen to american Rap music, (if I can avoid it) but you know, as they say in the U.S. of 'A' "Whatever melts your butter buddy"

As for black people, well let me tell you this, I spent 45 years of my life from birth growing up in one of Theeeeeeeeeeeeeeee toughest black neighborhoods in the entire lenght of the United Kingdom, before moving to Espa�a, right there almost on the front line near to Ladbroke Grove Notting Hill, and I understand the Jamaican way of speaking pretty well, but I would bet there aint many in the states or elsewhere for that matter that could tell what the hell they are yakking on about if they heard them, and even until earlier this year, before I moved, I was still met in the street and greeted with the words "hey brother, Big Respect, Maximum Reeeeespect brother, every time" and that is how well I am known and respected by many black people in London. I just don't know the american style of yakking all that well. Sorry bro!!

And now, back to the records! :m:

Peace bro Cool

What did you guys speak in London? Cockney rhyming?
