hello, I am trying to figure out what does it mean - DUnk on you. the context is the following -> Eminem called M JOrdan and after some small talk he said to Jordan I am gonna Dunk on you ( relation I Belive is about basketball) after that M Jordan was offensed and never talk to Eminem after that case.

So upon checking I am not sure how to translate

THat Eminem was going to humiliate Jordan while playing basketball is this the hidden meaning in his words ?

That eminem would play so well that will humiliate Michael J is that what he really want to say or somethign else ?

@M.A.R. I meant: wander and ponder share the same first vowel and the other two words are different

@THEGreatGatsby about $500 a month

is what I hear

M.A.R.

@EddieKal huh, I confused myself. I need coaching on that myself

Yeah, I see what you mean

I always thought I'm adding some /æ/ to "wander" but it's not there

Eddie Kal

@M.A.R. "wa" is weird

"want" a "wall"

"want a wall?" "hell no"

M.A.R.

It's like four parts Ā and one part U

@EddieKal well, this is heavily dialectal

Won't a wool? Ha

Q: Why should I use "of" after more?

Do more of what makes you happy. Why do we have to use "of" after more? Can I just say do more what makes you happy? (I know we should not say it like this, but I do not know why.) I know I have to use more + noun.
