Support NeoGAF

[Pachael]

So so good. Despite a lot of those internal reactions (YOOOOO), real talk, feel that Rockstar should have this environment for its next GTA, where the Zola is empowered with the stripper to pimp/madame journey through the game, and pimp-smacking any tryhards like Z along the way. Heck, even the supporting cast seem really fleshed out.

On the other hand, Angelus' transcriptions read like K-ON!! Hoe-on!!. which should be a major franchise by now huh

"Turning tricks" means prostitution? I've never heard of that.

Seriously?

 

[Dreams-Visions]

"Turning tricks" means prostitution? I've never heard of that.

Yep, that's what it's meant for a long, long time.

Well that explain all of those weirdly expensive magic shows I keep going to.

[mugurumakensei]

Trick in regards to prostitution has been in use since at least the 70s in the US.

Never watched Seinfeld?

 

[A Serious Man]

"Turning tricks" means prostitution? I've never heard of that.

It's been slang for prostitution in the US since at least the 70's.

 

[sangreal]

Never even watched Arrested Development?

"Turning tricks" isn't even "urban". Shit is a phrase from the 1800s.

Ava DuVernay gave her props on Twitter, no way in hell this doesn't hit the big screen now.

 

[Walpurgis]

Gotta love that chain of quotes that followed lol.

Hahaha! I didn't expect that. And no, I haven't seen Seinfeld. I've seen Arrested Development though I can't remember most of the dumb shit that falls out of Gob's mouth.

 

[Aaronology]

You guys are crazy with the Idris shit. This is Z right here

Perfect. This is exactly who I imagined Z to be as soon as Zola mentioned his heavy African accent.

Now you know the real meaning of trick or treat.

This is one of the stupidest sentiments I keep seeing expressed on GAF. You're not being clever or funny or insightful. Using someone's avatar choice to imply they're pedophiles or, in this thread, lowkey bigots is not cool.

Stop?


Edit: And what's worse is that Theonik's avatar is fking Shenmue.

He/she is not being funny or insightful either. It's not difficult to understand this story.

Conclusively, any English speaker who can't understand her tweets isn't very well educated.

Pretty much the nicest way to put it lol...

 

[AuthenticM]

She explains that a trap is a trick. "turning tricks" is a pretty common, not-race-specific phrase. Ive never met someone who hasn't understood that.

Maybe it's an american thing? I'm Canadian and I had never heard this expression ever. Not even in movies.

 

[Enduin]

Y'all need to see Hustle & Flow. Terrance Howard might be crazy and piece of shit but he'd play a great Z.

 

[neorej]

If they make thisinto a movie, the OST should be exclusively trap music.

I don't think there is one out there that dumbs it down, no.

 

[Angelus Errare]

First introduced into the English language in 1412, the word "trick" was used to describe any act that was mischievous or devious. It didn't necessarily have to be an act sexual in nature. In 1915, the word "trick" was first used to refer to a child prostitute. This lead to the phrases "turning tricks" and "turning kids," which is used to describe the act of prostitution.

*yawns*

 

[PadWarrior]

Is that a grown up calliou?

 

[Walpurgis]

*yawns*

I wasn't making fun of Zola's writing if that's what you're thinking (a few people seem to be doing that). I understood all of it fine except for that.

 

[Lan Dong Mik]

Perfect. This is exactly who I imagined Z to be as soon as Zola mentioned his heavy African accent.

This guy would be a good choice, but if I had my way I'd go with Elba. He can pull off that thick African accent with ease too (Beasts of no Nation).

 

[spindashing]

Is that a grown up calliou?

LOL!

It's Saitama from One Punch Man.

It wasn't really directed at you but everyone in general who were lost on the "urbanisms" she employed. Just bothers me so many people claim to be above average intelligence on this forum but absolutely suck at figuring things out via context and need "translations".

I've never heard him do an African accent, but I don't doubt he can pull it off with ease. Discovering he was British after his performance as Stringer Bell blew my mind. Guess I need to watch BoNN!


Edit:

PadWarrior, Caillou Shippuden

 

[PadWarrior]

LOL!

Lol oh. My bad!

Your anime translation? Yeah, I can barely get through a paragraph of that before my brain shuts the fuck off. I recognized the humor, but had to skim it. And if was in twitter form, poorly edited and with typos? I probably would not have bothered at all. I imagine a similar thing is happening to a few people on the onset of Zola's story.

Not everyone is trying to slide insults at black people or condescend when expressing difficulty following those tweets, or not being familiar with every term.

 

[flkraven]

I'm also Canadian.

VICE and MTV have already contacted Zola.

Zola says she'd like her own TV series about her days as a dancer and wants Meagan Good or KeKe Palmer to play her.
Zola's married to the guy from the saga and she's expecting a kid. She tells us she hasn't stripped since her wild weekend in March.

Whats with strippers and perfect handling of story structure and comedy timming? First Cody Diablo and now this girl. Maybe Writer-Gaf needs to start sliding in the pole instead of getting a degree.
