That ogged doesn't dab is very satisfying.
Uhh, not knowing new kids street lingo, I had to go searching for "What are dabs" and I got a contact high
So saddened and surprised that this man is out of touch with youth culture.
I thought it meant the kid put a wad of chewing tobacco between his cheek and gum.
I know what dab means, because I have teenagers, but boy do I not get it. As a dance move, it looks exactly like the properly hygienic method for covering a cough.
5: I choose to believe it went viral entirely due to a plot by epidemiologists.
"Are you alright?"
"No, I'm having a seizure due to my fear of losing health insurance when you repeal ACA."
Absolutely deliberate. Ryan now looks endearingly out of touch and millions of parents empathise with him. This is why British right-wing politicians loved going on the Ali G show to face that reptile Sacha Baron Cohen; they came out of it looking like slightly clueless but basically good-humoured old chaps rather than vicious, bigoted pieces of shit.
My kid came back from summer camp dabbing. I don't get it.
I'm still surrounded by white people who probably never knew who Simon and Garfunkle were.
This thread is strangely encouraging given how out of touch I thought I was.
I dunno. In this Fox take on it, both Ryan and especially the kid's father sound asinine.
I don't know, I think its absolutely appropriate to ground your kid after he dabs a photo-op with the Speaker of the House.
Punishing your child in front of the nation for free, potentially-endearing publicity (because you heard about all the other 300-odd swearings-in, right?) doesn't strike me as good optics.
Good optics, no. Good parenting, yes. Teach your kid not to be an attention grabbing asshole during Dad's big moment.
Teach your children to spit on Paul Ryan's shoes before they're too old to avoid arrest.
Teach your kid not to be an attention grabbing asshole during Dad's big moment.
Sometimes it's a father-son competition to see who's the more attention-grabbing asshole.
Apparently at the end of The Roar of the Greasepaint, the Smell of the Crowd, the two main characters strike a pose that looks like they're dabbing. Has anyone seen that show? I've wondered what that closing pose is supposed to signify.
The kid's most recent dance performance included a number by a hip hop class and the best dancer by far was a white lady 10-15 years older than the other dancers, I had the strong impression she took the class because she'd already taken everything else. Was a great illustration of the lasting value of a solid dance education.
After coding camp, what else is left?
I can't tell what lens to read 23.last through.
25: through the lens of white privilege ?
No, that gives me a feedback loop.
Teens are so perfectly on teen-message all the time, I love it.
I think it's just a nice way for one heterosexual woman to notice another heterosexual woman's butt.
27: fair enough. If polarized, try rotating 90 degrees.
Can't say that of front of the kids.
I had the strong impression she took the class because she'd already taken everything else.
Maybe she actually did it because she needed to feel better than others and couldn't hack it with people her own age?
I'd pay all the money I'm collecting from folks' Portuguese real estate funds in the other thread to hear what the teens had to say about her.
No no no, not you, I'd never grift you, don't worry, it's all in ANOTHER Portuguese real estate thread.
25: ? Perhaps some of these thoughts/observations might illuminate or explain better what I meant, probably not given limitations of my phone typing.
- people who've had a solid dance training from a young age tend to pick up new dance styles fast because they all speak the same language and their bodies have been trained in a common core of positions and movements
- here in the US that early training is most often ballet but could be other traditions, still a lot of US dance instruction-rehearsals in whatever style will work from balletese as in name of ballet position modified x y or z way.
- some (a lot?) kids-people never bust out of the ballet box and can't for ex move their hips and shoulders in different planes, others take to it like duck->water
33: these were all adult classes, not kid, so this lady was probably in her mid 40s, the other dancers of various ethnicities were in 20s-30s; it was at odc where there is a very large community of dancers who seem to be game for just about anything
33 further: my kid takes both teen & adult tap that's why he was in the show.
