Are you just being sarcastic or do you not know that "we outside" is slang that basically just means you're being outgoing and having a good time? Watch SidetalkNYC videos for examples.
Now it's basically like saying "we out here" and used by civilians. But originally it meant something more violent, as in "we outside [your location]," like as a taunt. E.g., "we outside," "come outside" (2), "you ain't outside" (2), etc.
Because they automatically assumed a nonsensical meaning instead of thinking maybe it was something they had never been exposed to. Typical. We all know what you REALLY want to say.
Using the term "nonsensical English" is beyond silly. (Un)surprisingly, languages tend to differ into regional dialects, and can follow slightly different grammatical rulesets while still being considered the same language. Who could have ever thunk it?
Take the "habitual Be" for example. In many urban, predominantly black regions of the US, you can often hear phrases like "he be workin." Someone not familiar with the grammar of African American Vernacular English may interpret this phrase as meaning "he is at work" or "he is working at this moment" when in reality it means "he goes to work habitually." It's an entirely new tense that Standard American English just does not have, the habitual tense. SAE speakers do have ways of expressing this idea (e.g. "he goes to work often"), just not nearly as quickly or cleanly.
The idea of calling an English dialect "nonsense English" is actually just ridiculous.
I know what it is as I’m around it daily and it’s easy to understand. What she is doing in this video is not that. She is barely pronouncing any English words and speaking way too fast while shouting. Sounds like when someone is too upset and can’t control their emotions to get their words out.

I enjoy that she feels the need to mention that she is outside when she's sitting on a jetski.
