Key Grammar Structures
-
I'M THE MUTHAFUCKIN' MAN, JACK
➔ Contraction of the subject pronoun + verb (I am → I'm).
➔ The contraction "I'M" combines the subject "I" and the verb "am".
-
I WOULDN'T TRADE THIS FOR A MILLION BUCKS
➔ Second conditional using "wouldn't" + base verb (hypothetical present/future).
➔ "WOULDN'T" shows an unreal or unlikely condition in the present: "I wouldn't trade..."
-
SO FIRE UP THE MUTHAFUCKIN' BONG LIKE ITS A MISSILE
➔ Simile with "like" + noun phrase; also comparative structure.
➔ "LIKE" introduces a comparison: "like its a missile" means the bong is being compared to a missile.
-
WHERE THE BITCHES? SOMEBODY CALL THE CELL
➔ Imperative sentence (command) with omitted subject "you".
➔ "CALL" is a command; the understood subject is "you" – "Somebody call the cell!"
-
I'M HALF NAKED AND ALL THESE LADIES IS AS WELL
➔ Subject‑verb agreement error; plural subject "ladies" should take "are" not "is".
➔ "LADIES" is plural, so the correct verb is "are": "...ladies are as well".
-
WE NEVER ON A DROUGHT WE
➔ Ellipsis of the verb "are" in a present‑continuous clause; also informal word order.
➔ The intended meaning is "We are never on a drought", but "are" is omitted: "We never on a drought".
-
LIVE FOR THE MOMENT, LET'S GET HIGH
➔ Imperative with “let’s” (suggestion) + base verb; also infinitive phrase "for the moment".
➔ "LET'S" is a polite command meaning "let us"; it invites the listener to join: "let's get high".
-
SO ROLL IT UP AND LET'S FLOAT AGAIN
➔ Coordinating conjunction "and" linking two imperatives; infinitive phrase "roll it up".
➔ "AND" joins two commands: "Roll it up" and "let's float again".
-
LOOK AT THE CLOCK LIKE IT DON'T STOP HUH?
➔ Use of "like" as a conjunction introducing a clause; colloquial negative "don't" instead of "doesn't".
➔ "LIKE" introduces a comparison clause: "like it don't stop" (colloquial for "like it doesn't stop").
