Question

My friend showed me this picture of a lady in the domincan republic with the caption:

Y el tipo de la bodega me dijo
Hoy sabado no viene pollo
Y yo le deje socio
Nobari get taim fo dat (Nobody got time for that)

I understand that it is a reference to Sweet Brown's "Ain't Nobody Got Time For That". But I don't understand the rest of it. I'm very confused. The kind of cellar told me today is Saturday ... chicken doesn't come?? If somebody could help me understand this I would really appreciate it

Answer 1

Great question. Welcome to the forum.

You'd have to read it poetically rather than literally.

Y el tipo de la bodega me dijo

And the guy (tipo is slang for "guy") from the shop told me

Hoy sabado no viene pollo

Chicken doesn't come on Saturdays

Y yo le deje socio

And I told him, dude/man/hombre (called him a friendly name)

Nobari get taim fo dat (Nobody got time for that)

Ain't nobody got time for that

Thank you so much, Mariana! This is exactly the kind of explanation I was looking for. - Leanna1010, Mar 26, 2013
