Overheardinnewyork is a site where people post what they overheard in New York City. What a brilliant idea! There are great one-liners as well as some funny conversations. Here are some examples…
 
I Totally Know That Song
 
Puerto Rico chick: He likes that—what do you call it? That the black people make...that "tooka tooka tooka"...?
Nuyorican chick: Rap music.
 
--South Bronx
 
Black chick #1: I told her to keep her badussy hands off my sandwich
Black chick #2: "Badussy"?
Black chick #1: Yeah, It's like butt and pussy.
 
--Union Square
 
Overheard by: Mary Phillips-Sandy
 
The Cookies are Red
 
Columbia student #1: Would you like a free cookie from the Columbia anti-Socialist club?  
Columbia student #2: Shouldn't that be "earn a  cookie"?
 
--MorningsideHeights
 
I know that Ethiopians can be extremely funny. Let us start sharing the funny stuff we overheard/encountered. It could be stories or one-liners. If your story is in Amharic, feel free to write using Latin alphabets…we will try to convert the texts into Ge-ez and post them back up.
 
I will start:
