Matt: but the idea of a British "Gangsta" sounds funny.
Darren: No offence taken;-)
Matt: Though I would like to hear a British person say, "I'm gonna bust a cap in yo ass, yo!"
Darren: Hmmmn, now that's a toughy. For starters there'd be no "yo-yo's!" So we have to accept some alterations in the words for the dialect! I'm also pretty sure that we'd loose "Bust" & "Cap" as these are pretty American in their colloquia.
Queens' English: "One is likely to fire ones pistol at you, you rapscallion!" (I repeated the 'You' to counter the 'yo-yo' synergy;)
Engilsh: "Aw-right Guvnah! 'and over your Duane Eddies or you'll be Brown Bread!"(Here knock yourselves out: http://www.cockneyrhymingslang.co.uk/ )
Scottish: "Fire the fuckin' gun and ask question later!!!"
(or maybe that's just me;-)
