Could someone please give me a tutorial on the whole “Bye, Felicia” thing?
It’s basically a condescending “BUH BYE!”/we’re done here/get-out-of-my-face sort of expression.
I got that much, but it’s about as illuminating as telling me that ”Wasssuuup??!!??!!” is a greeting. What’s the history of the term?
However, I have no idea why it became so popular.
^^Just to add on to that, in the relatively recent movie Straight Outta Compton, the character of Ice Cube (being played by his real-life son) says it to a girl groupie in the hotel. One of those weird circle of life things, dontcha know…
B’s are primitive, e.g. baby, barbarian, babble. The “b” sound is one of the first humans make and this is often given as a reason.
M’s, which are linquistically similar to B’s are also primal, retalting to mothers as in mama, maternal and mammary.
Nice.

It’s Frasier. With an “i”
It’s right there in the show’s title!

Guess I’m not getting that tossed salad and scrambled eggs.
I blame Tolkien for all those Fs - Faramir, Fëanor, Findis, Finduilas, Fingolfin, Finarfin, Finrod Felagund, Finwë (he started it!), Fíriel. and of course that eternally smackable little Frodo.
