My linguistics professor just used the sentence “Bitch be trippin’” to explain a grammatical feature of African-American English.
He was explaining “The habitual ‘be’”, in case you were wondering. Because she’s not just trippin’ once, but is found to be trippin’ on a regular basis. Were it just a once-in-a-while thing, one might say “[She] trippin’.” Actually, learning the grammar rules, and watching my white/nerdy middle-aged professor explain them without sounding like a huge racist, was pretty rad.
