I'm not sure. Whatever it is, it looks like it fell through the cheap end of a costume jewelry counter at a Jamesway.
Hmmm...
Im assuming you’re quoting Val Demings, a product of the woke Orlando, Florida political quagmire. That is all that you need to know to answer your question.

Nope not true, that shit today was embarrassing for every high school graduate in this country.

Seriously, there is a class on this offshoot of common Americanized English grammar rules.

Sorry. I've worked as the token among a group of highly educated blacks and Latinos. That lack of elocution is just an embarrassment.
I know that my "correction" may sound racist, but actually if you get into what is known as African American Vernacular English there is actually a set of rules that go with it. These rules are regardless of accent. It's actually quite fascinating how an entire subset of the Americanized Vernacular English has developed. No much different in that Mexican-Spanish is not Spain-Spanish. Slightly different pronunciation and such.
Besides - are there really "rules" in English? Compared to most languages, it's' a hodge-podge of exceptions more than hard-and-fast rules. I mean, just how crazy it is that in the south we say "fixing-to" or "fixin'-to" or if you're from Texarkana you may say "fittin'-to" - I'm guilty as hell for saying "fixing-to" which certainly AIN'T proper English.
When I worked in South Georgia...get two natives together and I'll be damned what the hell they were saying - it didn't even RESEMBLE English y'all.

DACA mint. A refreshing new candy handed out to Undocumented illegals so their breath smells fresher in the detention centers. Noun. Use in sentence: “Hola, Paco! Your breath smells like rotten fish tacos. Have a DACA mint, that will help.”
From the same people who brought you tasty ImPEACHmints. The Georgia halitosis-conquering treat!

2006-2011. Her husband, Jerry Demings followed her term by becoming the next chief of police in Orlando and now is currently Mayor.
Val Demings - Wikipedia
I was gone by then (Jan 2006). I knew a bunch of LE from their off-duty hangout. When law enforcement issued a warning for people not to walk alone DURING THE DAYTIME I knew my decision to leave (already in motion) was the correct one. Within a mile of me for the 4.5 years I lived there, I'd wager there were 15 murders. 3 directly across the street. Problem was, according the the off-duty talk, was that I was surrounded on 2 sides the worst neighborhoods. The other 2 sides were likely the best two (where Tiger and Barry Bonds lived).
Everybody I know that could leave Orlando, has left.
Orlando was becoming a crap city when I got there, now it's the next Miami. Drugs, crime, trafficking, you name it. It's become a liberal bastion. Exactly what happens when a majority of the population has not assimilated. Thanks Disney and Universal!!
