I’m Black, and I don’t understand what they’re saying. It could be regional, or it could be a combination of the fact that is the late 70s, or a combination of both. That said, this movie was funny as hell!

[@PoloNius67]

Actually Ma, it was combo of all that, know what I'm sayin... Lol

Basically Jive was Slang from the 70’s and 80’s. Your grandparents will probably what they said better than you.

[@queen_of_domination]

@@fist-of-doom487 I know what Jive and Slang is. I am not sure that you read my post carefully. I’m not that young, where I don’t remember movies and slang from this time period. So, my post was not failing to understand generational slang and culture. I posted my comment to shed light on the REGIONAL and CULTURAL differences, and how they vary from city to city. Most people forget that slang and culture varies from city to city and region to region when it comes to non-White culture. Along with that will include accents varying from city to city among non-White culture. I’ve done a ton of traveling, and I find that many Whites can easily recognize these differences with White culture, such White Bostonian culture being compared to White Californian or White Chicagoan culture. The same is never taken into consideration for Black culture, Asian culture, Hispanic culture, and so forth. “Black slang and culture” is just lumped into one category. Basically, the shit that might be common with Blacks in LA won’t be the same thing done by Blacks in Philly, Chicago, or Florida. There are regional and cultural differences that mainstream Hollywood fails to take in consideration. That said, the SOLE reason that I didn’t understand them was because those men were saying some shit that I wasn’t familiar with, due to REGIONAL and CULTURAL differences. Don’t get me wrong, as this scene was funny as hell, with the movie being very iconic. However, they used REGIONAL slang that was popular in another city, and not mine.

[@evans1946]

Golly! Funniest scene in the whole movie. Their banter is genius and the subtitles take it to another level.

[@changer_of_ways_suspense_smith]

As someone who speaks Portuguese, this is what Spanish sounds like.
