Notes on "The Wire"
Recently, I began watching the series "The Wire".
My first thought was "No fucking way!", he "really ain't have to put no cap in him though", "Kill a man over some bullshit", "Man, this is America".
Of course, these weren't my thoughts. These are some dialogues from this amazing series. But I wasn't able to understand all of it because it's street speak or slang.
So my target is to learn how to speak like a native American. Fluent and full of slang.
Anybody who can help me: Please leave a message!

Hi Alex, thanks for your comments.
Of course, in Germany we also use slang. But on TV there is no German movie or series which uses slang.
You'll mainly hear it in greater cities like Berlin or Hamburg.
Or you watch American gangster movies or series which were translated into German.

To 'put a cap' in someone means to shoot them - not a very pleasant concept.

It is sort of interesting, i've looked at german texts and never really seen this type of slangy or informal language. I am sure it must exist but i've never seen an example of it in text and do not have the mastery of the language to understand it in speech.

I haven't heard anyone talk like that in several years.
