Too many weirdos around.

Knowing every bizarre cuisine on a classy restaurant menu has nothing to do with being classy, and your friend that doesn’t know say ‘Bourride’ for instance is not behind the times. Usually, food is enjoyable when you know what you're eating.

So if you’re not French or familiar with 'Bourride', don’t force it because someone is. Take 'Yassa Ginarr’ or just anything you know. That way you’ll eat well and sa xell bi du teye.

And this sort of thing is not about food alone, I think pretending to know complicated stuff over basic and common things is becoming an epidemic, and for my part, it only exposes one's own ignorance.

Even amongst men, sometimes you’ll ask like: ‘Boy, who’s your favourite artist?’ and whilst everyone is talking about people that people know, some wannabe yuppie type will come up with a very weird artist name, probably one you’ve never heard of, or one who plays some tasteless shit for rich old folks.

Is like being weird has become fashionable, like someone that doesn’t know shit about wildlife commemorating World Rhino Day in Jollof, or going to the beach to tan a skin that is already as black as Shaka Zulu’s, or someone you know takes Nescafe at home, comes with you to some place saying he prefers Jamaican ‘Blue Mountain Coffee’ or the Hawaiian ‘Kona Coffee’…. too many weirdos around.
