on watching movie previews

[maderr]

I forget the movie, some thing about thugs and getting out of the hood or something >_> That was really callous of me. It's abot two brothers trying to make a better life, or that's my impression. But at one point in the preview the words 'Big Boi' or 'Bad Boi' flash across the screen and it makes me snicker. I don't know the precise meaning of 'boi' in that particular subculture, but they should check other subcultures, 'cause here in slashland it means something else altogether and the bois in the hood would not be pleased by that meaning (or, meanings, since it can range from 'gay as blazes' to 'cute and gay as blazes')

Yes, I'll shut up now.

The preview is probably talking about the rapper Big Boi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Boi

Last I checked, the gay community has patented the term "Boi", along with every variation thereof, so if that movie wants to continue using it, one of the main actors has to end up being gay.

Preferably the boy. Oh, yes, that would be very nice. </pervyoldman>

I am glad I wasn't drinking water when I read this. I just have to say that I personally found that funny as hell.
