This is what he tweeted before the game...
Woke up feel’n great slept well and all that somebody gotta Pay for this feel’n trust that Mind WaaaaaY past Right I’m 23 “TRUNT UP” ya digg
I have no idea what that meant.
I'll give you a hint
There is about 5 different statements in there. 6 depending on how you read it.
I read it like this...
Woke up. Feeling great, slept well and all that. Somebody has to pay for this feeling, trust that. My mind is waaay past this right now. I’m 23, so TRUNT UP you feel me?
That’s my best interpretation. By the way, I got a kick out of the definition of trunt.

me too cuz thats terrible english
I'd rather be an Eagles fan till the day i die and go 0-16 every year than be a cockroach cowboys fan
Its twitter, of course its bad english
To make it simple, he’s not talking just football. He is just talking he finna make some big moves in general. He’s just saying he’s moving about (in motion), going to make some big decisions and big improvements in life—football as well—(finna make some big moves), and I think the last statement pretty much speaks for itself (stay tuned…im on the go).
So is “finna” a combination of “gonna” and “fixing”

LOL
I still hate that slang stuff (and no I’m not some 65 year old white guy)
I hate all of those shirts of his on his website too. They just sound stupid

Which is fine within a closed community
But you have to understand the confusion of the outside world when local dialects are misunderstood. And Twitter is obviously an attempt to communicate to the larger world.
Why are Red-Necks criticized about their southern twang and inability to conjugate verbs properly? If all that mattered was communicating with your neighbor, it wouldn’t be an issue.

You preachin to the choir
I change my talk up when I be in formal company; otherwise I keep it gutta.
Sure why not
We just know it means going to or gonna. Just another one of our crazy made up words such as b-zounce, beyounce, duggy, maxin, swaggin, 7:30, etc.
yeah i’m lost

by white people
what do mean by “our slang”? I translate this as this is how black people talk. I went to college in NC with a lot of black people, dated black guys, have black jamaicans in my family, and none of them talk like this, and I doubt they would even fully understand what he is trying to say.

More like West Coast
That’s what people have told me. This is more west coast type slang than it is simply “black”
Well every coast got they own slang
Westside, dirty south, east coast. I’m from the midwest myself. I don’t talk like Jackson but I understand what he saying. Only kats I been struggling to understand is them Texas fools because the bustas don’t even be saying full sentences.
Coast thing
It is crazy how different people talk from coast to coast. I spent 5 months living with 15 people where i was only one from east of the mississippi.
They made fun of just about every catch phrase i used.
To this day I talk differently because you dont realize til you get out of your home environment how weird your slang can be

No doubt
I go to school in Tennessee and the way they talk and the way I talk is like Apples and Oranges. It be throwing me for a loop and I be doing the same to them.
Beyond Ebonics
I moved from a small town in CT to Philly, and now to Staten Island…EVERYWHERE has different slang.
1. In Philly they say “awhile” to mean “while you wait”…while, where I’m from it means “for a indefinite period of time”. …for example: You go to a restaurant, and the waitress says, “your table will be ready soon, do you want to sit awhile?” No one would phrase it that way in New York or CT.
2. In Philly, they also use “anymore” to mean “in this present period of time” rather than a comparison between now and a previous period of time. “My car is running bad anymore”
3. In Staten Island they wait “ON-line” in the grocery store, whereas I’m used to waiting “IN-line”
4. In Staten Island they go “sleigh-riding” down a hill in the winter, whereas I usually go “sledding”, unless I’m being pulled by horses in which I would then be “sleigh-riding”
"EFF YOU, WE'RE WINNING ANYWAY!!!!!!" (Bye, Dawk)
Isn’t #1 still for an indefinite period of time. She is asking if you want to wait for an indefinite period of time, until a table opens. I’ve used awhile in that way, for it to mean the same thing. We use “awhile” a lot in Lancaster.

In Chicago
Usually we would say “a minute” meaning an indefinite amount of time. Like saying “I ain’t seen that cat in a minute” or “Its finna take me a minute to get there”
I’ve heard it used other places, but far more predominantly in Chicago. Southside and Westside especially.
This is more accent than it is lingo, but...
The Philly twang is brutal. I lived in North Jersey and CT after college for about 4 years (and got away from the twang), then moved back to South Jersey and the long O’s are like nails on a chalkboard. Thank God I somehow avoided developing that accent.
