I have taken to using “six seven” and “fairs” as my 11 year old tells me to stop trying to get down with the kids.

i was playing mariokart with the kid and they were trying to “explain brainrot memes” to me (they’re 11, they think they know it all) while i was like - kid, i know a thing or two.
“oh yeah dad? like what?” at the same time i zomped them with a turtle shell i yelled LEEEEROY JENKINS and they were fully baffled. and i never explained myself.

My 7yo has tried explaining to me what six seven is a couple of times but i’ve still not got a clue. She’s also called me Bro a couple of times till I quickly told her to never call me that 
also found out this week one of her little classmates calls their (male) teacher ‘brah’

Yassified is a great one. It means rather touched up or glamorized. Like if you put a photo through a bunch of filters or blinged it up. Yass originates from drag balls i.e. “yasss queen”.

Yeah, if you haven’t seen the film Paris is Burning, where yass queen rose to fame: it’s essential viewing.

Ilana Glazer also played a part in elevating “Yass Queen”via the very funny Broad City.

My seven year old boys were going through all the brainrot names they knew last night, Chimpanzini Bananini and the like… I had to google it to see what it was all about but I still don’t really get it.

In September this year I did a trip around South East Asia. I stayed in the very small coastal town Thai Muang for a few days. There were large turtle sculptures all over the town made out of old cigarette lighters. Turns out that they were all made by the American chap that was my neighbour there. He was a NY 80’s artist and worked in film. He was Steve Rosse who did set decorating and stand by props for several of Spike Lee’s early films, including Do The Right Thing. He had amazing tales of hanging with all the NY scene back in the early 80’s, and still likes to indulge in all kinds of refreshments.

What a character - he appears to be some kind of local legend…

Wow. I didn’t realise that he had all this going on. The guy’s in his 90’s believe it or not. Thanks for the research and post. He comes across a little capricious in this interview, but I found him extremely warm, if very old school with his views on transactional sex in SE Asia, which I vocalised my view on. He was fine with my view also.
