Black speakers:
I had a job _demolitioning_ a building _down_.
ain't got no cash nor no stash = "broker than the Ten Commandments"
hide in the sack = "conduct a clandestine sexual relationship"
White speaker:

I've heard the last (or should that be "the latter"? ;-)) numerous of
times from black speakers, but this is the first time that I've heard
it from a white speaker.

come from the mouths of people who have had to live.
