Englisch Begriff oder Satz: mens-es, crunk
This is a sentence from an American movie full of Afro-American slang.
The full sentence (by a black woman) is:

"See, one of my many mens-es came through last night and got crunk with my trunk, if you know what I'm saying."

Unfortunalety, I do NOT know what the person is saying. Can anybody help, please? Thanks!

Tony

msherms: 14:12 Jun 9, 2005: Yo - no big deal... but if you write that the movie is full of African American slang there is no need (in my opinion) to indicate that the full sentence is spoken by a black woman - dig it? -
Non-ProZ.com (asker): 14:19 Jun 9, 2005: msherms, I just meant to be clear. It could have been said by a caucasian white man in a movie full of Afro-American slang as well... Any problem with my explanation? We don't need to split hairs over pc-ness here, do we?
Rita Heller: 14:58 Jun 9, 2005: www.urbandictionary.com for this type of slang -
msherms: 12:27 Jun 10, 2005: dude- no problem with it and I am not splitting hairs. I am sure that you just meant to be clear and I felt though that it was simply not needed. If it was said by a white man then that would need to be stated. -

Erklärung:
Mens-es is clear, I think.

Crunk- mixture of crazy and drunk.

Trunk- somewhat indelicate reference to the female private parts. (Analagous to the boot (trunk) of a car).

Betcha!

Men, sex


Erklärung:
This could be a long shot, but I will try:

**One of "my" men came around last night and we had sex**

It could also be that **mens-es* means something else - hard to say without more context - but in any case I am confident it would be a male person.

Zustimmung Cilian O'Tuama: "Ladies and Gentlemens" as Otis Redding was apt to say. (Can't say I've ever heard the crunk/trunk bit, though.)

  -> Neither have I , but it just makes sense to me, especially with "if you know what I'm saying". Thanks
