Subject: RE: BS: Hebonics
Leo Rosten? In here. Not enough of him, but some.

But why "Hebonics"? At the very least it should be "Hebronics", except that "Yinglish" is a better word already, and already in wide use.

I suppose it supposed to be a rather heavy handed play on words with the term "Ebonics".
