The Atlanta School Board, sensing that Oakland is about to
cash in with the Feds by labeling Black slang, "Ebonics," as
a language, has decided to pursue some of that endless
taxpayer money pipeline through Washington by designating
Southern slang, or "Hickphonics," as a language to be taught
in all Southern schools.
A speaker of this would be a Hickophone.
