Orville brilliantly uses his linguistics background to prove that urban slang is a sophisticated communication system rather than a lack of education. He serves as a vital cultural diplomat, turning "street talk" into a legitimate bridge for social integration.

Hey bro, WHY ARE YOU HOLDING ME NOW?
TELL YOU CRUSH CRUSH YOU.
>> HELLO, my name is Orville and I'm a social worker with my masters in linguistics. My goal is to help the urban youth communicate and assimilate with people not from their environment.
You could call me a translator in a sense.
>> Hello, I'm Orville.
>> Oo, you're the new hire. We got some fresh meat today. I'm Mr. Mr. Kenneth, the one you spoke to on the phone.
>> Hello, Mr. Kenneth.
>> So, we're really understaffed today, so we're going to get you straight to work.
>> Okay.
>> Your first client is a kid named Andre.
He just got a juvenile detention, right?
He has some issues communicating. So, your job is to transition him to the real world so he can have him scales.
>> Oh, he sounds like a handful.
>> I'm sure you can handle him.
>> You be good, man.
Now, I know this job not going to be easy, but I've never been one to back down from a challenge.
Hello.
>> Hey. How are you doing? My name is Orville and I'm a social worker at the county. Are you Andre?
>> Bro, don't call me Andre. That's my government. Are you the government?
>> Uh, yes.
>> Just call me Spice. You know what? I feel like everybody should be entitled to the name they choose. Hey, Spice.
Okay. So, before we get started, let me confirm some information. Okay. So, your full name is DeAndre Hopkins, correct?
Okay. I'll just put that down as accurate. Uh, no problem.
And is this your primary place of residence? Bro, why is you moving like the feds or something? You good?
>> Now, when someone says you're moving federal or moving like the feds, they pretty much mean you're asking too many questions because what do the police do?
They ask questions. Especially in that room.
>> Okay, it's a nice day outside. We could take a break. Let's go for a stroll.
Bro, why are you built like Rick Ross talking like Betty White? you down.
>> So, Spife, I want you to understand I'm not like the other social workers you may have gotten. I understand your struggle cuz I've been through it. I just want the college to better myself.
>> Bro, you sound like a female trying to please me, bro. Do you say this to all the underprivileged youngans out here?
>> Now that you're back in the real world, do you have any goals?
What? Bro, I'm about to be having motion. I'm talking about man time on shits. I'm about to drag my nuts on everybody that was playing with me while I was locked.
>> Now we got man time and dragging my nuts. When somebody says man time that just means they're very serious like they not playing. Now dragging or dragging nuts is a lot more nuanced. A lot of times it means doing too much but in this instance it means flexing on your peers.
>> Dragging your nuts. That's a new one. I haven't heard that. Yeah, I'm be flexing on everybody that was playing with me, man. Time.
>> Okay. Well, this was interesting. I'mma come back next week and we going work on your social skills. It was nice meeting you, Andre.
>> All right, bro. It's my dangerous.
>> I know it's rough because of no father figure at home, but we're going to find a way.
>> What? What are you talking about? I have a dad. I'm here for a learning disability.
>> Well, I can't teach you how to sell drugs in here, man.
Newbie, how was your first day? Huh? It was pretty good. Andre asks Harden, but I know he's a good kid. They are all good kids. At least that's what we have to say.
>> What?
>> Um, okay. But I had an idea. I feel like I should make a database of these slang words cuz I learned some so that people could communicate with the youth more effectively. So, more work for no extra pay. That sounds like a plan, man. Well, I have to get back to my client cuz he doesn't have a father figure at home.
>> What? He dropped me off.
>> First day out. Let's get it.
>> So, Spice, how's your job search going?
>> I actually got me a little job. It's cool, but it's one thing that be frying me.
>> What's up?
>> Why we always got to wait till Friday to get paid? Like, why we got to get paid on Friday?
>> Oh, you don't got to wait.
>> What you mean?
>> All you got to do is sign up with car.com/odog.
For what?
>> With Current, if you qualify, you get your direct deposit up to two days early.
>> Wait, bro, you for real?
>> Yep. And if you qualify, you get up to $750 paycheck advance.
>> Say you swear.
>> And they also offer up to $200 fee free overdrive.
>> Yo, I'm telling you, that's what you need.
And if you settle with my code now, old dog, you get $50.
>> You a real one.
>> I know. Let's watch the game. So, who you like listening to?
Sh Draco, young boy. Uh, >> bro, she good, >> bro. He's just saying what's up. He's being neighborly.
>> That's how you do it. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE HEAD? Not throwing me off.
>> We got a lot to learn. All right, Spice.
So, this week, we going to work on your social skills. I want to see how you interact with people not from your environment. So, this is Smooth.
>> Hey, Spice. I'm Smooth.
>> Hold up. Who's that?
>> Oh, that's my man. I told him slide.
That's cool. What's that?
>> Cool. And slime with y.
>> Now when a w call somebody five or slime, they pretty much mean friend.
Five come from young boy and slime from Atlanta. Now to be honest, you could call me a oldhead, but to me, this five [ __ ] came out of nowhere.
>> Chunky, huh?
>> Man, what's up?
>> [ __ ] they throwing me.
>> Oh, they just saying what's up to each other.
>> I don't know, bro. And he sweat before.
He stink.
>> I'm not going to lie. It seems like there's a new slang word every 5 seconds. It takes a lot to keep a tune, especially when you're older.
>> Bro, you can't even buy don't get bad at Jones. You on Tay. Look at her, fool.
>> Bro, you bro, you know I JUST LOOK WAY BETTER THAN YOURS, BRO.
>> WHAT, BRO? LITTLE BRO RIGHT HERE PROBABLY GET BETTER AT JONES THAN YOU ON TAY.
>> COME ON NOW.
>> On Tay, I'll probably get better joints than both of you guys. Slim, what >> now? When a Y put something on somebody, that means they swearing on the dead friend. So unless you do that, dead friend, you probably shouldn't do that.

Damn, my fault. OG.
Damn. I ain't even know OG get down like that. [ __ ] Now I got a little more respect for him. Might be able to kick with him.
