Pipoca, 1 year ago (edited 1 year ago) “They don’t think it be like it is, but it do” is originally a quote from a Yankees player, Oscar Gamble, about Yankees management in 1975. It’s a sensible, grammatical construction in his native dialect, but is well remembered mostly because it isn’t very sensible in SAE.
