Now for a US-English-to-Australian-English translation request... Teo, you there? According to our questionably-informed linguists, "Don't Bonk" translates as
"don't choke" or "don't fail us now" -- is that correct? Thanks. ;)

Okay, being in the 411 of the rap from the 'hood, I think I can assist in this linguistic query. "Don't Bonk" can mean "do not fail" or "do not lose" or the more colloquial "Don't fuck it up, biatch!" However, if the phrase "don't bonk" is taken out of context, the nit would most likely be understood as simply "don't fuck" (sans the "it up, biatch!")

I hope that this has been informative and enlightening. If you ever need more info on the American tongue, then ask someone else because Teo got no experience with people's tongues (hell, I put a metal rod through mine).

Check ya Late!
