Speaking of chow,
Olivia makes a last minute effort to
woo the
Yung Money demographic:

I believe he was using a pun to establish that "Yung" could mean the Asian voters with money.
Sheldon avatar guy almost gets it, but purely through deductive reasoning, rather than
street smarts. It's one of those things where everybody
still up would get it, and everyone
just up would not. That's been the whole nature of pop culture since
Pops over there had a smooth bag, (ie: communication between young people that their parents aren't meant to understand has been standard since before
oldguyzer had reached puberty).
I'll slow it down a bit.
The blue guy carrying the giant spark plug posts a
munchie, (amateur photo of food), and we be both be understanding that "chow" means food. Now
Chow also be the
babypapa name of the
polly in my posted pic, so that's the segue. So
Olivia Chow be flashin' the
Young Money Sign, but not very well, (note that the angle of Ms. Chow's fingers appears to form a rudimentary letter Y). so I calls it "Yung Money" instead, because 'chow' and 'woo', (in italics), and Yung are all like, Chinese words,
yanowhamsayn?.
The
Young Money Sign is a hand gesture used by
monied individuals in the Entertainment industry who derive the majority of their income from people who still live at home with their parents. The sons and daughters of A list celebrities also use the gesture, as do the rebellious offspring of
Old Money. It always involves two fingers spread in such a way as to suggest the letter Y.
Young Money is not just an attitude, it's a
hip hop record label, featuring many of the most highly promoted talent of the modern age. It's also a line of clothing, a shower gel, acne cream, jewelry, fast food, ball caps, you name it, it's a
brand, designed to get wannabes to pay the bills for clubbing and private jets. It's one of our leading subsidiaries.
So the joke was,
Olivia Chow, trailing in the election for
Ford of Toronto, tries to link to
Drake:
in her photo op, but
epic fails, and only gains market share among
Asian wannabes.
CardinalFang got that part. You guys gots to live more life, 'stead of readin' about it on
CNN.
