But see here Ms.Glitter650,
In my neck of the woods, "the salon", is referenced to the store front with a real shampoo-station when you get your hair did. "The shop" is referring to the converted garage on the side of somebody's house....but now that becomes the place where you get your "huur" did. And thus, takes on a whole new defination and classification to the community conversation revolving around "the did" of "the do".
As for me, being a loc wearer, Na-Na's footstool in her kitchen or livingroom is as close to "the shop" as it's going to get so I understand what you meant and thanks for pointing the difference out.
Cash is probably wondering how did it get to all this. Cash, I'm just trying to make a point that not every displaced term we hear in rap music comes from incorrect use of standard english. Somethings are good-ole-hand-me-down expressions from Big Momma's back-porch and the "hair did" expression is one of them.
Now truthfully, what I'm concerned about when I hear the latest season of rap music is the coded language (I refuse to call it slang) being used and if you aren't questioning and asking, you would never know what they are talking about. What sounds like a bunch of gibberish is not necessarily so...I have been introduced to at least eight ways to say marijuana and none were "mary jane", "blunt", "reefer" "weed" or terms we would recognize!
I now see the mission of my Soror, the late Delores Tucker was/is a SERIOUS MATTER and it just deepens in my heart, the work of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Inc. WOW....I've hijacked this thread...I apologize.
Shalom~
