As an example of the difficulty SAE speakers may have in understanding BE discourse, consider the following dialogue at a social gathering, where three young African-American women are talking about the men in the room. The conversation proceeds as follows:

• S'up Girl?
• 'Sap ‘nin?
• Dis Party Be Krunk.
• Check Out Homes!
• Yo, Bling Bling?
• Iced Out For Days!
• Gimmie The 411. He Thuggin?
• Naw, He Cool!
• Yeah, He Packin'
• Word! Steppin' Crip,Def
• An' He Heavy In Class
• Off The Damn Chain (Laughter)
• Who Dat Brutha? (Looking At Another Man)
• A Scrub; He Nuttin'
• Word?
• He Be Doin' Wet.
• Tha's Wack!
• An' He All-Uh-Time Be Blowin' Yo' Spot.
• I Hear That.
• Word!

 A 'translation' into standard English might be as follows:
 

What's Up, Girlfriend?
What's Happening?
This Party Is Exciting, “up”! Hot!
Look, A Local Guy
Hey, You Mean The Guy Wearing Shining Jewelry?
He Wears A Lot Of Diamond Jewelry
Tell Me About Him. Is He A Thug?
No, He Looks 'together'
Yes, He Is Well-Endowed
Good! He Sure Can Dance The 'crip.'
And He's Smart In School
Amazing! Breathtaking!
Who's That Guy?
A Bum; He's A Good-For-Nothing
Why?
He Smokes Marijuana Laced With PCP And Embalming Fluid
That's Not Good; That's Out Of It
And He's Always Revealing Your Personal Business In Public. He Can't Keep A Secret.
Oh, Yes
Really! Forget About Him!
Ez persze csak akkor érdekes, ha vagy ilyen filmet elemezgetünk, vagy ide készülünk rezidenskedni, vagy innen jöttünk (menekültünk, stb), illetve ha a munkánk során belefutunk ebbe a szubkultúrába. Vagy ezer másik okból. :D
