Thanks! I did see that too in the subtitles, I'm misremembering it as "ya heard". Strange, but I'm American-born and still needed subtitles to parse out the intent of this ghetto-patois.
I had to do the same thing on "The Shield", and there the creators/writers also decided (like The Wire) to use a modified vocabulary. In the DVD extras, they were saying that their 'consultants';-) told them the street language changes so quickly that real-time vocabulary would be outdated very quickly. It certainly wouldn't stand up to time, and would mark the series at a certain point in time.
Anyway, thanks. Also, she was in the news a few days ago for refusing to testify at her friend's murder trial.

This is the kind of thuglife ghetto behavior that will ensure things never get better for B-more, and frustrates the "murder police"! Cheers!
