The Nativity Story, In Slang

(the birth of Christ - in Gen-Z slang) 

Mary and Joseph were tight-ship.
Mary was a real-one, and no clout-chaser

One night Angel Gabriel overstreeted with word
that Cap-G made Mary chabby with soup-baby 
Mary was shook and big-mad but Joseph
was baby-goggles for Cap-G’s quinlan fetus

so Mary was “okrrrrrrrrr”

A minute later Mary and Joe had to roll deep,
adulting to Bethlehem with tribute to Augustus, 
the main character, but no mo-mo swerved em’ 
ghetto and asan Mary was Cap-G’s baby-mama!

Later these bchaps rfts biters brang Cap-J 
some bag and herb to extra flex for Cap-G
while angels lay in the cut with lowkey bop.

———————- translation

Mary and Joseph were married and in love.
Mary was an average girl not into notoriety 
.
One night Angel Gabriel appeared and said
that God made Mary pregnant with his child 
Mary was shaken-up and and angry but Joseph
Was excited for them to have God’s beautiful child

so Mary was had no choice but to say “OK”

Months later Mary and Joe had to travel far together,
As citizens, to Bethlehem to pay taxes to Augustus (Caesar).
Emperor of rome, but a lack of motels caused them to 
Stay in a manger and there Mary had God’s child.

Later these rich star followers brought Jesus 
some money and herb as gifts to impress God
while angels gathered and sang to comfort the child.

It sounds like the way some in North o England talk... Very good. Writing slang is both challenging but very entertaining. This is a fun read indeed :-D :-D

Fascinating, Anais. I read it through twice and tried to decipher the cool language, but I couldn't. Thanks for the translation. Now, does anyone really talk like that????

absolutely - if you’re in a car with parents and want to talk about things - without texting - or your on the phone - you just sling the slang
