One of the big issues of the morning was Paul Ryan’s son trying to dab on national television. Everyone acted like it was a childish attempt at a dance move. As a middle school teacher I will admit that it is the latest cool thing that kids are doing. At least it was before the Christmas break.
Like so many things in the youth culture it is not as innocent as you might think. The move is from a pattern by drug users to sniff an illegal substance from the elbow. It can be placed there and avoid detection. From there is was introduced into some dance move and now everyone is doing it. Picture the way cool people used to take snuff.
We need to be thoughtful in adopting the ways of the degenerate segment of society. Wearing your pants hanging to show your underwear got its start in prison culture where belts were not allowed. A pimp is a guy who runs a string of prostitutes. “Dis” is not a word.
Let’s grow up and think about what we do and what we let our children do. Is that asking too much? Maybe.

This is the first time in which I have read about the Dab being a way for people to smell illegal substances from their elbows...
ReplyDeleteIt has something to do with a pot extract. I read about it in a couple of places.
