Actin’ da fool is translated “Acting the fool.” You’ll hear this said about people, usually kids, when they fool around, cut up, joke, or prank. Adults will sometimes say it when the behavior starts to border on obnoxious.
Last week, it snowed really hard at our house (which is a rare thing this far south). We went outside around nine o’clock at night to watch it fall and we heard children’s voices echoing through the neighborhood. You can imagine the celebration since school was closed and snowballs needed to be thrown.
Me: “What are those kids doing?”
Hubba-luv: “Actin’ da fool.”
When was the last time you saw someone actin’ da fool?
I’ve spent all this month celebrating my birthday. I had the opportunity to spend time with some of my relatives and had there been someone standing around the corner watching us celebrate, they would have said,”look at those nuts actin da fool.” Sometimes you just have to let loose, especially when you’re my age.
Celebrating a birthday is a good time to act the fool. Hope you had a great time. Thanks for sharing.
