I really love how Bob kept it fairly gender neutral, not passing into "Feeling the Fantasy.... of being a woman" or "being clocked... for being a man dressed as a woman." He clearly cares about the gender politics surrounding drag! I appreciate it so much!
Yea but also 'clocked' isn't drag slag, it's specific to trans people, and modern drag makes people think that cis people can use clocked like that when it's not for the cis, even if they crossdress.
Come on, mug, escandalo, show boating, etc. These are certainly not drag queen specific. However, Bob did awesome. I mean, he defined the phrases and used them in a sentence. That Merriam Webster line at the end was no joke.
Bob was PERFECT, so educated on ballroom history and so mindful towards gender inclusivity :’) I love the breakdown of “clock” since it’s been used problematically towards trans women and LOVE the explanation of drag including all genders 💜💜💜 a queen of the people !!!
Yes, I'm glad that was mentioned as I still occasionally use it in the UK/cockney sense I grew up with - to notice something/someone. I now know not to use it anymore, as I wouldn't want to accidentally offend anyone. (I wouldn't be talking about 'clocking' a trans person anyway, I'm an ally and have friends who I've witnessed struggle with passing, and I totally understand that pain, but you never know who around you may be trans/nb and might be made uncomfortable anyway)
I get what you mean. Also, I hate to credit drag race or inflate it's significance to the industry's culture, but I feel like it's cultural impact definitely reshaped what we think to be "drag slang". If that makes sense
I am so glad that they added the term drag king in this. I'm a trans guy who performs in drag shows as a king, and it's nice to see recognition. Thank you!
Bob is so awesome to watch because he is SO smart and such a great speaker! Please have him do more videos for your channel! Very enjoyable to learn from him.
oh my god i cant believe this exists. i didnt know i needed this so bad hahaha. him being the new host for the pitstop (hopefully permanently) has already been such a pleasure. idk him so i wont say i love him but i love the content he's making
This is the 3rd season Bob has done the Pit Stop and he is the Crowned Queen of season 8 OF RPDR. I highly recommend you watch that season. Also Sibling Rivalry is his Podcast.
Years and years after her win and she's still the most important RPDR winner of all times. The one who most contributes with the drag and LGBT+ community. Love Bob so much.
And now I realize with horror that all those Instafluence-tubers are wholesale lifting and co-opting drag language. Just when I thought they couldn't get any worse.
Funnily enough a lot of cis drag queens have co-opted trans women's language. Tea and clocked (which is offensive) were not for the cis. And if anything DO NOT say clocked, especially to trans women
That was one of if not the best explanation vid of drag lingo ever!! There was enough fun to it so people who are already in this world have a good time watching and people who aren't can learn something! Amazing job bob😁🙌🙌
Yesssssss!! Articulated down to tha T honey...but hey it's Vanity fair so all is well. Wow such a blessing!! you are absolutely EVERYTHING Sir Bob "the Drag Queen"
I actually learned something here (and I'm quite unfamiliar with this culture)...the fact that 'drag' isn't just the act of blurring gender lines in your appearance, but there has to be an element of art/performance to it. In which case, I would ask what is it called if you're just doing the appearance part, without the art? Is that just cross-dressing then? Apologies for the ignorance, but I'm trying to learn :) Also, much 💖💖💖 to Bob!!!
SO appreciate the distinction made between drag/queens/kings at the end of the video. I’ve been a lover of all things drag for years and still get confused sometimes.
Bob is the best drag queen. ever. He makes it so simple for the newbies. Its like he is the official websters dictionary. Clear simple perfect definitions. Bob is so technical, I dont think he's ever been wrong on anything. Whereas monet is always wrong😂
Μοre favourite drag slang: Best Judies, Sashay Away, Shante you stay, Reading (is fundamental btw) , proportionize (Thanks, Eureka!), serving fish, kiki, kai kai, death drop and, ofc, Miss Vanjieeeeee
In case anyone was wondering, Bob says the word "clock" is controversial because the term can be used to out trans people when they don't want others to know. It's tied to trying to find small details in someone's appearance to clock them as being trans.
I just love that Bob described "body-ody-ody" as just serving an extreme of any body type, not just a perfect hourglass
We love the politically correct queen.
I immediately thought Courtney Act. Ha
Bob is politically correct without even trying. In fact, I think he coined the phrase. ❤️
Kam Chan it’s always been Courtney Act ❤️❤️
its not just politically correct, its ballroom.
who else already knew all these but is here just to hear Bob talk
Is more white centennial girl lingo by now though.
🙋🏿♀️
Literally that
i see Bob i click Like
You know Bob is here to hear himself talk too 😅
Bob could read me the side effects list off of an ambien commercial and I would still be thoroughly entertained.
Exactly
Lmaooo!!!
this needs to happen
“Serving Face.” Oh, you mean Alyssa when she’s near a mirror? 😂
my thoughts exactly 😂😂😂
I thought the same. exact. thing
I wanted to comment this, but knew it had been said. 😂
Lol I love her faces! They are so funny and weird, the episode when they are doing their make up in the dark and shes still making the faces 😂😂😂
*tongue pop*
The “queen for the people” right were she belongs! Fully booked, successful and educating the masses
thats a guy, bud
Kelso nah she's the QUEEN! A WO-MAN HUNTY

@@phoebe.aur0ra 🙄
Love that there’s someone out there who really thinks “showboating” is drag queens slang
same with mug
Yea that goes for a few of these so called "drag terms"(that are actually ballroom terms)..
Terrance Jovan THANK YOU I was gonna say it
Ikr 😂😂😂😂
@@PiranhaSatan lol, mug is a common word used for face in the UK. Not one I use, but many do..not drag related
Bob did a great job considering some of the words provided as “drag slang”... Whoever picked those words-that was embarrassing 😆
As I say, if there hasn’t been a challenge of it on drag race, they don’t know it. Yes, I’m a salty old queen
I could watch Bob talk about literally anything, do you hear me Vanity Fair? LITERALLY ANYTHING!
hahaha this comment made me LOL
AGREE
I am brazilian and TOTALLY AGREE with you.
dictionary definition: SHOWBOATING - PHOTO OF WILLAM "MY BOAT IS BEAUTIFUL"

love the way bob broke down drag as not just men in women’s clothing maybe a certain miss paul could take a watch and learn a lil somethin
I SCREAMED🧍♂️this is the best comment
I would absolutely die for Bob
Me too
I thought "squirrel Friends" was because drag Queens also hide their "nuts"....
OH MY GOD HAHAHAHH
AngryCandy89 yes! Friends that hide their nuts. And hunty is a combination of honey and c* nty
Yes that’s what I thought too. I think ru even said that
Ru once said everybody who LIKES nuts is a squirrel friend 🌰🌰🐿
Well, that's how Mama Ru defines it but I believe Bob was trying to keep it more inclusive.

Yesssss I love that Bob immediately went to defend "non-traditional" definitions of "drag."
When you’re so steeped in drag culture that you struggle to explain drag slang without using more drag slang/referencing drag history. I love it.
As a straight guy growing up in small town Ireland, I heard "body-ody-ody" and instinctively replied "oi oi oi"
Boots and house down boots are the best interjections ever.
I use boots daily and ppl have no idea what I’m saying lol
I first became aware of Boots through Scissor Sisters.
I’m kinda disappointed most of these are drag race terms and not slang that is actually used in the drag scene
A good hunk of the ones here are slang we do use. Then it also depends on where you’re at, it changes based on areas😁
“I was asked by a Thorgy...”. HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Boots is just an exclamation point verbalized.
Next up, "oh the fracking" now let me tell you that I can't tell you about this one mama
I was just about to say, they left out Fracking.
Why bring Ru in everything like gurl, ain’t y’all tired
🙅♀️
guess who’s frack in the house
So appreciative that bob took the time to break down the term drag. So tired of seeing people discredit AFAB drag artists, specifically kings.
“Queen’s English” 🤣🤣
"I don't know how squirrels communicate." Lol, I don't know why that was so funny to me. I love Bob the Drag Queen.
🐿 squeaks squeaks squeaks
I would literally listen to Bob reading the phone book.
Some of this wasn’t drag slang it was just stuff people said on drag race
Who do you think "people on drag race" are?
Sarah Libogoma just bc a drag queen said it it doesn’t make it drag slang
@@SarahLibogomalove just because someone said it doesn't make it slang.
"Showboating" is a whole word that existed way before drag
I get what you mean. Also, I hate to credit drag race or inflate it's significance to the industry's culture, but I feel like it's cultural impact definitely reshaped what we think to be "drag slang". If that makes sense
Timothy Angelo Curtis I get that but some of it was just not
I am so glad that they added the term drag king in this. I'm a trans guy who performs in drag shows as a king, and it's nice to see recognition. Thank you!
I love that Bob had to specify that he doesn't know how squirrels communicate 😂😂
Particularly glad for his demonstration of using 'heather' in a sentence: 'Hey Heather'
Bob is so awesome to watch because he is SO smart and such a great speaker! Please have him do more videos for your channel! Very enjoyable to learn from him.
Isn't "squirrel friends" also a group of pals that enjoy nuts?!
Yeah I thought it was friends who hide their nuts aka they tuck
Yeah, but I think Vanity Fair wanted Bob to be more kid friendly. Same with the “hunty” definition
I clicked on this so quickly I love bob
What straight white woman at Vanity Fair chose all this slang???
Bigot
Lisa Yuber what?
They are good tho
Lisa Yuber lmao how?
Apparently Lisa
Can we just call him by a title he deserves? Dr. Bob the Drag Queen stays educating the masses and I am not here to miss his classes!

YAASS$!
they called the right person to do this
At 11:18 when he says more often then not drag queens are AFAB, he mispoke and he meant to say Drag kings, are AFAB
you can get bio brag queens
Joe Roach yeah, I guess you missed ‘more often than not”.
@@DavidAndTheDog um no?
I know. But he was talking about DRAG KING, that was the word,
Bob, serving these cis heterosexual girls the T
Yes thank u Bob ❤️
Yaasss Roberta Elizabeth The Drag Queen
I thought squirrelfriends was when you kiki with people who also like nuts. lol
HayGurl Hay friends who hide their nuts 😉😁

Can't wait for all the Karens to use Drag lingo "hunty"
ok rachel
don't they already rachel
We will always have ''Henny''
Classic Rachel
“I don’t know how squirrels communicate” has to be the best thing that I’ve heard today.
Update I heard the Spanish, That’s the best thing I heard today.
Bob should be the host of RPDR if Asia isn't up for it.
Bob’s Drag Race!!
" Eleganza Extravaganza.... It's something that is elegant and extravagant." Thanks Bob for your knowledge. 🥰
The world is a mess and needs more videos with Bob
Am I tripping? or are those glasses glassless.
They are. It's something that a lot of drag queens use to disguise that they have shaved eyebrows.
He's a pretty great teacher!
I. LOVE. BOB. PERIODT!!!
Bob is as great a teacher as a drag queen. Love him and this💕
My only change: “squirrel friends”
Ya friends who like nuts okay
Living for Bob explaining afab drag queens rather than just kings
I love how inclusive he made "Bodyodyody" 5:31
this video should be titled “FOR THE STRAIGHTS”
That was one of if not the best explanation vid of drag lingo ever!! There was enough fun to it so people who are already in this world have a good time watching and people who aren't can learn something! Amazing job bob😁🙌🙌
i think your explanation of drag is actually very important, i wish more people thought of drag like that
Drag slang: "Oh the fracking?"

I know all of these but the way Bob explains these is just too well done. Teacher realness the house down boots!!!
I prefer the version of Squirrel Friends as "friends who like to hide their nuts" = tucked queens :)
0:10 The Queen's English. That is perfect. Please someone have Ru Paul (I think I spelled that right) say this.
