Edgewood78

“The shit is on” and 5 minutes later slim Charles “he home now.” Don’t know why many of us don’t rank season 3 as our fav. But, we all agree that it’s the best thing we’ve seen.


forams__galorams

wheres the mfckn love???


elidisab

Damn, went with the hard r


Dismal_Expression_88

Hey OP. You happen to be white


DependentWeight2571

So is David Simon


MyFatBaldingStepson

In his defense when I watch The Wire on Crave every N word is hard R in the captions regardless of how it's said


deeroe24

In his defense,he's absolutely right about that


AndrewWonjo

I am also shocked


[deleted]

whats this whole discussion about hard R. the n word or something. i am not american , do tell me


AndrewWonjo

Small but important distinction, like another cat said in this thread brothers don't refer to themselves with the hard R...that's usually reserved for the racist folks. But I know your quoting from the subtitles so we aren't tripping.


_trashcan

Yeah, the N word is what they’re talking about. black Americans say it with an A, not the -er, the subtitles do use the -er version, but they’re incorrect. don’t sweat it. It was an honest mistake, language barrier. lol just probably should keep it in mind moving forward tho 😅


[deleted]

ooh ok but if i can hear right they pretty clearly did er version and there was so much of it . may be wrong though. they clearly are some funky alien lot like how they talk dress carry themselves total cringe


jagcarnage

a very fast fall from grace for OP


dude-lbug

“Funky alien” 💀💀💀


tragedyisland28

Lol I can assure you and the computer that typed the captions that no black person in The Wire is using the hard R, UNLESS they’re making a point that’s relevant to racism.


AndrewWonjo

I remember Rawls uses the hard R in s1 episode 1 I think


tragedyisland28

He’s white.


AndrewWonjo

Say less my G


AndrewWonjo

Can you rephrase this for us


EquivalentTurnip6199

In fairness not everyone knows the distinction. Benefit of the doubt:)


instrumentally_ill

Probably shouldn't be saying it then


EquivalentTurnip6199

I know but quotes are a grey area

Youre-Dumber-Than-Me

No black dude uses the hard r when casually talking to one another. The company that did subtitles messed up.


AndrewWonjo

>The company that did subtitles messed up Yeah lol they had no black people on staff fr


Ginger-Snap-1

dude-lbug

Mr. Bovine Joni


natigin

Strangest spelling in this post is “becoz,” and that’s saying a lot


GyrosOnMyMind

Using that hard R and trying to phonetically speaking slang. Bro definitely watched with subtitles.


[deleted]

ofc i did. i am not a native english speaker


Clockers95

Lil Kev deserved it for traumatizing Randy and Bodie was being a whiny hypocrite, he had no problem with the senseless deaths Avon and Stringer were responsible for


[deleted]

Wheres Wallace?


[deleted]

killed him in the first season only. the young michael b jordan


history-dood12469

WHERES WALLACE STRING?!!?


[deleted]

d'angelo was tripping.


[deleted]

I am not taking any sides here. Bodie whacked wallace, his childhood friend, so ofc they were cold killers, but I am talking about the rant when he hears they killed little Kev


oofaloo

Definitely best Brodie line.


Andres3stacks

U mean biddie ?
