do you speak english?

Hey Guys,
I understand this isnt a language forum, but anyway I hope any of the numerous native speakers can help me out:

what do people mean when using the gramatically incorrect form "we was"?

Forrest Gump: Mama said we was related to him in some way
and then there is a song by Paul McCartney entitled "Man, we was lonely" and one by George Harrison entitled "When we was fab"
as well as Simpsons' The Way We Was

if your asking what we mean by "we was"....

In english it is just another way to say "we were"....For example in a sentence.

"We were" building a relationship!....
we was would be ok in that sentences as well and means the same.

Hope i have been helpful!!....
If not im sorry!
peace
and no difference at all?
is it a kind of joke to say this?
not really....

...in the movie forest gump...

"life is like a box of chocolates, you never know what your gonna get"....

actually that's a good question, I've also been often wondering about laugh

the same, when I read togather instead of together confused
but was always too shy to ask for, as for sure, my English is not great at all, taught it more or less just myself
so how could I ever ask...
I just thought, it might has the same meaning but comes from gathering together? dunno laugh
or I got corrected when I said/wrote nevertheless, they said it's neverless? confused or is that just American language?

I do not want to learn wrong things laugh
I am looking for my private english teacher here good or bad his english doesn't matter to me as long as he knows how to teach me with love handshake grin
the term we was, is just bad street grammar, usually spoken by uneducated people, similar to the language of ' the hood' areas of america, where english, is crucified as a language, by the barely litterate street children, and there parents.professor
Yep,. . .da bunny is right.
"We was" in Forrest gump, was purposely used as, . .
a vocal demonstration, of the characters', "lack of education"sigh
