The Rules

Posts must be:

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Comments and post content must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laZpTO7IFtA is worth the 15 minutes, but the TL;DW is that the kids are just using it as an in-joke marker (i.e. the phrase is a shibboleth), but its origin is in lyrics* by the rapper Skrilla referring to police codes for a dead body.

* are rapped words lyrics?
