[this is posted during prom, specifically during this conversation. this will probably explain a few things.]

A public survey for the masses. The more answers, the better, as this is intended to prove a point and be an accurate reflection of the population.

-Please explain your interpretation of the meaning of the lyrics of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" as played at the grad dinner approx. 6 minutes ago. Do not consult other people's answers or other sources beforehand.
-Do you believe everyone has the same interpretation you do?
-Did you know "stoned" does not consistently refer to the execution method before last week? This question is only slightly related, but I would be remiss not to include it.

Regards,
Kokoro Belmont

wait
why????

[stavros]

Because somebody said it wasn't about a snake that wanted to eat rabbits!

[lovebreaker]

it's totally not!

[stavros]

Well, then, what is it about?

[lovebreaker]

dicks!
and sex?
but mostly it's about dicks

UN: fundirection

[hippocarnival]

wow this is way more explicit than I thought it was

[Google doesn't post the radio edit first.]

I know it also means being high on weed

is that what you meant?

[stavros]

How.

[lovebreaker]

well it's like
a way of getting the lyrics past censors and stuff you know?
by calling it an anaconda instead of a dick!

[stavros]

I didn't think it was, but apparently it is!

[stavros]

Then what does the rest of it mean?

[lovebreaker]

she's talking about like
relationships!
it's pretty raunchy
lots of drugs and sex references!

1. It's about sex, basically and I'm actually a little shocked they played it
2. I generally figure most people do if they're from the US/English is their first language
3. Where I'm from that uuuuuusually means getting high, typically because of weed

[stavros]

Why does everybody seem to know this...

[stavros]

Why does EVERYBODY know these things

[lovebreaker]

well i know i'm a woman of culture

[ what??? ]

[stavros]

I suppose it's a good indicator of modernity... probably.

[lovebreaker]

that too!
not used to modern stuff huh?

[stavros]

I'm modern! I mean, I'm not from the past or old! I simply... focus a great deal on schoolwork and things like that.

[lovebreaker]

oh!! that's fair
well, if you have any questions about stuff like this i can totally help you!

[buddinghopes]

I can only speak for myself but my parents generally didn't care what music I'd listen to after a certain point in my life (not that I'd choose this song) and I had access to google to look at the lyrics

[stavros]

...do I actually come off like I came from the past?

[stavros]

I heard the words! I just thought they were. Literal.

[lovebreaker]

ummmmm
... slang is a complicated thing to understand sometimes! especially across languages! it's ok!

action; 1/2

[marmoron]

[continued from here

He's raising an eyebrow at Kokoro for that bit about fate.]

...and if a priest told you it was fate that you'll get punched, are you just gonna take that?

[hippocarnival]

I didn't either before I came to the academy!

its an English thing

I think we'd call it something else back home but I've never used it so i dont know
