The use of “over stand” in place of “understand” suggests that they may be some kind of Rastafarian sovcit. Are those a phenomenon?

[–] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

Yes! They also say "eye" in place of "I".

Black sovcits tend to call themselves Moorish Delegates.

Do they inherit specifically Rastafarian linguistic taboos, like swapping positive and negative word fragments where appropriate (so “understand” becomes “overstand” and “oppression” becomes “downpression”)?

No idea, I tune them out when they start talking, as I do for the white sovcits.
