 "I be waiting" is a common US slang sentence? A friend of mine, maintain that "I BE waiting" (Not I'll or I will...) is a common slang used in California or generally in States... To enforce the verb "to be" in a strong/rude "ghetto" way!!!! Is that true? I never heard something like that! Even looking on the web. Maybe is not the right place to post a question for a slang. but I will really appreciate any suggestion or redirection. Thanx. Last edited by jonky; 09-Mar-2009 at 13:56. |

 Re: "I be waiting" is a common US slang sentence? There are lots of regional dialects that do this, not only in the US. b |

| Re: "I be waiting" is a common US slang sentence? Yes - it's ghetto slang. He be cold. She be a fool for him. I be cool. Please don't use it - just recognize what it is.  |
