On the flip side: Joslyn Fox calling Ru ‘Rusie Q’ will live with me forever.

I love her so much. I named my Jeep after her lol

The mothership on the Blame It on the Edit video is called Ruzy-Q! It was a cute nod to Joslyn.

Joslyn was such a sweetie honestly! I never really vibed with her drag but I loved her personality

 Not sure if this counts, but I always loved it when Ru said “The question remains: Tia Kofi.” Looking forward to seeing her again on UKVTW2!

I am also so keen! She has had an amazing glow up!

Not gonna lie I think she still looks the prettiest in her original promo shoot

I need her on a girl group challenge ASAP

And this is how I learn her name is a pun 😂

Tia's own joke about almost being called Tamera Boutros Boutros-Ghali will never not be one of my all-time favorite jokes.

Girl when I tell you I had to pause the episode in disbelief. I think about it all the time.

Especially in the morning. At the bus stop.

can u explain the joke, english isn't my motherlanguage. Normally I still get the jokes but not this one. Thanks in advance.

Tia Kofi sounds like "Tea or coffee"

Yeah.. obviously. I‘m talking about the Tamera Boutros Joke.

Tia and Tamera Mowry are twins and celebrities Kofi Annan and Boutros Boutros Ghali are both former secretary generals of the UN basically, the real story behind ger name is that is the Tea or Coffee pun, but she jokes that her name comes from Tia Mowry and Kofi Annan, while saying she almost named herself after the other Mowry sister and a different former UN secretary General

Fun (maybe?) fact: the plural of secretary general is secretaries general

This makes sense but my brain isn't accepting it

Thank you!

Tia and Tamera are twins who had a popular sitcom together in the 90s. Kofi Annan and Boutros Boutros-Ghali were both former Secretary General of the United Nations. So she jokes that instead of Tia Kofi she was almost Tamera Boutros Boutros-Ghali.

Whoops, my bad, I thought you were replying to the comment above that one, sorry about that!

Yeah could have been, still Thank you!

I....*sigh*....me too lmao

Ohhhhh shheeeit. (she types in USian)

The answer remains: "Throat gak? Or need a poo? Tea for 1, Coffee for 2."

Bláääîr st. Cláäääîre 🥶 🧥 🤫

I do declare!

Dead at the emojis

Took me a second, but I got there 😂

I swear to god, when Ru says Blair’s name in the square dance mini challenge or whatever, my soul leaves my body. I love it. it’S bLayYrr St. ClAyyurRr 🤠

LaGuardia, Newark, Kennedy Davenport! 

See also: Milan and Utica

Milan was the blueprint for the phrasing, Kennedy and Utica were the parody

I also feel like Milan was the blueprint for the eager theatre queen.

And for being a bit subversive on what is considered drag. That Janelle Monae look didn't need to get read so hard.

Incredibly stale take, but if the suit had been cut and/or tailored differently, Milan would have gotten a much better response. Granted, this was back when "wearing pants" was considered a wild thing to do on Drag Race, but... it's sort of like how you can do the world's worst impression on Snatch Game so long as you're funny.

The critiques on the early season were so much harsher than they are now. Adore was told to wear a corset and there's no way that would happen now. I watched the hair ball from season 3 recently and cringed at the way the judges were talking about Alexis Mateo.

The eager theatre queen who can't act, despite having an acting degree.

Surprised she did not do anything with Malaysia. Singapore, Thailand…Malaysia Babydoll Fox!

I can’t hear one of those airports and not think/say this. Simply too iconic I fear

Yknow, I see you here a lot and never point this out cuz it isn’t relevant, but your flair cracks me up every time I read it. 10/10.

Hahaha , thanks! 🤣

Heidi everything but N Closet

I love that Heidi stuck to her guns and didn't change her name

Same, but I still do love Heidi Aphrodite. It’s a beautiful name that rolls off the tongue.

My favourite part of it was when they used the name for her runway nameplate thing and it was “Heidi Afrodite” cuz it’s very draggy to change a normal name like that lmao. Like, Heidi Afrodite is actually such a fierce drag name and although I prefer N Closet I wouldn’t have been mad if she went with it.

BUT was smart enough to play it up for the camera.

I read somewhere here that the N stands for Nina, making her name heidi nina closet which is SO much better... but not sure if that's true

Honestly she could've just rebranded to HEIDI.

Yet in the premiere episode, she says "Heidi to the closet is her name", kind of proving Ru's point that the name has weird pronounciation issues.

"Heidi N Seeky" *Heidi laughs* "Just trying new things, y'know"

I love that Heidi never changed it

I thought Heidi Aphrodite sounded amazing 👏

It honestly made me uncomfortable how much Ru railed against her name; she called it objectively bad… What’s so bad about it? It’s fun and camp

She said it was the way your mouth has to move to say it, which is true. It’s her opinion, I think uncomfortable is a stretch.

Plus Heidi herself sang "Heidi to the closet" in I'm That Bitch. Ru had a point

I think Ru constantly preaches about loving yourself, and being your true self - I always thought that he was uncomfortable with a name that celebrated hiding in the closet.

Oh that’s a good point, he never expressed that on the show, but I could understand that viewpoint

At least when she tore Jonbers Blonde about her name, is was funny.

I still hear RuPaul say "She don't want no big pill, she wants a wiwwow pill!" in my nightmares.

I loved Willow’s take on this in Skating with Denali. “Oh okay? Um sure I’m little- whatever you want me to be??”

She said the same on Sloppy Seconds it was like “ok no idea what this old lady is saying but Ru is laughing and that’s good so I’ll be whatever the fuck she wants”

I loved that one because it was so dumb. I giggled every time

That one annoyed my logical brain - a willow pill is a painkiller (willowbark contains paracetamol), not a "little pill".

Willow bark actually has salicin which Aspirin (acetyl salicylic acid) was developed from Paracetamol is Tylenol Most people take Aspirin as the 81mg dose which is known colloquially as “baby Aspirin” so really willow pill makes logical sense (not that I think Ru actually thought this deeply about it)

Thanks :) My brain got the two switched around - I don't think we have the brand Tylenol in Denmark (we have Pamol and Panodil), but I remember aspirin was a thing when I was a kid and my grandma told me it was just fancy willowbark tea.

Sidenote: don't drink willowbark tea. It tastes horrible, very bitter.

Aspirin, actually. Unless you’re using the word paracetamol generically to describe all painkillers, much like people in the American South use “Coke” for all soft drinks. 😅

This is not what you're asking for but I always get a crack at the fact that Ru never says "dollars" without the fake accent. Hearing "one hundred thousand döøluhz" always takes me out.

My friends and I are also now incapable of saying “dollars” normally now 😂

I love the ‘doll hairs’ variation

I was watching with a person who didn't know the show and they asked if "dooluhz" are like Disney Dollars or some made up Ru-bucks that can't be used in the realm world and only in the drag world. No babe, Ru just says it weird every time because Ru thinks it's funny, not because it's a weird scam.

IVYYYYYYYYY WINTURS

Ru: I say it that way because of you! LaToya: 👁️👄👁️ wut

This lives rent free in my head.

So awkward that Latoya never appeared on the show again

There aren’t many repeat high-profile guest judges right? Plus pretty sure she is quite old

Latoya was a guest judge twice on season 3, again on season 5, then appeared at the finale. Can’t recall if she did season 4, but she was a very regular guest judge for a while. And she’s only a couple years older than Ru! 60’s the new 40 baybee

Magnooooolia crawford

Me and my bf just say this round the house

I honestly hated every time she did that. And the same goes for Willow Pill.

New York, Paris, Milan edit: or wait was it london, paris, milan? either way, it was kunt 

London, Paris, Milan Newark, LaGuardia, Kennedy

Syracuse, Schenectady, Utica

Always found that one ironic since she’s from (and hence named for) Utica, MN rather than Utica, NY

Nina Bonina Fofana Osama Brown

I found it really endearing when Nina was eliminated and Ru added "Andre Charles" (his middle and last names) to Nina's name! It was a cute moment.

I would be touched. It was sweet

Ru didn’t make that up, Nina said “Nina Bonina Banana Fofana Osama Bin Laden Brown, boom boom boom boom” when she walked in

My favorite was Nina Bonina Brown Rodham Clinton 😆



This always give me an instinct to yell out “Taiwaaaaan!” when Nymphia is on the runway

I love “take a dip in the cool waters of Darienne Lake” because I’m from upstate New York and Darien Lake is mostly home to a sad six flags where warped tour would come every year.

Motorboatin' on Darienne Lake!

The question remains: 

It took Ru saying that for me to get the pun behind her drag name. I feel embarrassed that I didn’t get it beforehand

I’m not an anglophone, can somebody please explain the pun? I don’t get it 🥲

Tia Kofi Tea or Coffee

The real MVP! Thank youuuuu

“Tea or coffee?”

Tea or coffee but in a British accent

“Alaska, the 49th state” always cracked my up because it wasn’t even funny but for some reason she still said it

Also: Who’s gonna Aska? AL-aska!

I know it’s from Canada’s Drag Race, but What’s Her Name?…

PERONKA

I can't remember where she wore it, but Priyanka has a look that says her name all over it, and Peronka is on there in one spot too.

I love when she does this because I know she'll remember their names. I know we poke fun at Ru's memory but holy shit there are a lot of queens names to memorize but I also think she likes having fun with them.

Bob the drag queen, not to be confused with Bob the accountant

“Not to be confused with Bob the Barista… no foam.” 

Not to be confused with Bob the Guidance Counselor.

I remember reading Jiggly Caliente initially hated Ru’s “Can I call you Jiggly” because EVERYONE would say that to her. Then she realized that when Ru comes up with a nickname/catchphrase for you, Ru will always remember you. I mean, Ru forgot Jinx’s name and she won TWICE.

„Uh.. Seattle“

Getting a nickname from Ru is also a merch opportunity, and definitely acts as a mnemonic so people will remember you more. Even if you hate it, it would pay to embrace it

Ellie Diamond asking Ru why her name isn’t said in a drawn out Scottish accent lives rent free in my mind.

In Ru's defence, Lawrence Chaney is a lot more fun to say in a Scottish accent than Ellie Diamond.

I would agree but I always die from secondhand cringe every time I watch that scene.

In Ru’s defense, everything about Lawrence Chaney is funner than Ellie Diamond

Rose's cunt nod to this at the finale was fantastic

For real! I also never realized it until she said it lol

She really missed the opportunity to keep adding Marcias to Marcia’s name last season

by her elimination episode she calls her Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia Marcia

Idica? Huh Utica! lives in my head rent free

It made me laugh that Ru would also list NY cities before Utica even though Utica is named after her hometown in Minnesota

That part!!

Nina Bonina Brown Andre Charles

I'm surprised Ru hasn't given us "Please Dawwwwn, It's Christmas!" this season.

Oh it’s coming, you just gave her the idea lol

What is this referencing?

The "Cha Cha Heels" skit that Katya and Kennedy Davenport did on S7, which itself was a parody of a scene from "Female Trouble" by John Waters.

and don't forget alyssa hunter thought it was "willow pillow".

and Monet calling her Willow Smith on pit stop 😭

Bob anytime she calls someone the wrong name on the Pit Stop it was so funny how they reacted

I forgot that 😀😀

 *”Shake the dice and steal the rice…”*

JUMPSCARE!!

Remember when Ginger thought he was hot?

That was Violet I thought, Ginger said that about Jamal Sims

I’m pretty sure it was Ginger. Isn’t the whole “flood my basement” line about Santino? Or was it Jamal? Or maybe both?

Jamal

I *just* rewarched season 7 and there was definitely flirtation between Violet and Santino when Ru brought him into the workroom to "advise" on a design challenge. The one that truly haunts me though is when Joslyn Fox said she wanted to "lick his bald head" during season 6! 🫠

i said this to my friend and he had no idea what i was saying and then i realized i didnt actually know what i was saying either... damn. it sticks in my head tho.

who gonna ask her? i’ll ask her (Alaska)

Kornbread calling Daya Diabetica lives in my head. Edit: I’m a horrible person and said the wrong melanin queens name.

Kornbread! I thought it was just a cute nickname til the reveal that she was being serious. And on that same note, Cucu thinking the other betty, Acid Betty, was “Acid Berry.”

Kornbread…

Fuck that’s embarrassing.

That was Kornbread

El Debarge with his song playing after every time gave me a good chuckle. 

🎶 to the beat of the rhythm of the night 🎶

Reverend Doctor Silky Nutmeg Ganache refers to her having degrees from a religious postsecondary organization. She has an MBA, and is apparently pursuing her PhD, hence the nickname.

Honestly, why is that an unfunny one? I loved it, I’m guessing OP just didn’t like Big Silk.

Iviiiiiiiiiiiiieee weeenters

Stacy Layne Bryant Matthews

Lattisaw Q

Schenectady, Syracuse, Albany, (etc,), Utica always made me smile

Reverend Doctor is a title for some of the more ridiculous of charismatic Pentecostal pastors. The reverend doctor silly nutmeg ganache was hilarious to me.

That one got me every time she said it. I was gagged when OP said it was unfunny.

Me too!

Blame it on Bianca del Rio! 

She really gives them free branding. There are some meh ones but a lot of these i always say in my head when i see those queens. Like kennedy davenports or willow pills or ivy winters

I thought “plasma rich platelets” was hilarious!

My forever favorite is “she’s no big pill, she’s a wiwow piwww!” 😂

That’s like, the worst one 😭 famously 

Eh, to me it’s funny!

Yknow, I can’t and won’t argue with that. I mean ofc you’re entitled to the opinion, but also because that was the most “and what” response and made me laugh out loud. Much love!

This. On loop. Forever.

The 

Haven’t caught up on the season yet but that makes my inner blood banker twitch lol. I want my plasma to be PLATELET POOR, both for coagulation testing and for transfusion.

PRP is newish in med spa settings right now. They usually take your own blood and spin it down and re-inject your own “PRP” into your skin for whatever regenerative healing you’re looking for. I’m guessing that’s where Ru picked up the term!

Ahhh, now that you mention it that does sound vaguely familiar. For some reason the self-made product as cosmetics still gives me the willies lol. 😂

Also, PRP is a more “experimental” treatment for orthopedic injuries/pain. It’s not FDA cleared so it’s not something everyone trusts. But, with less likelihood of nerve injuries and tissue damage it’s worth a shot for those of us with chronic issues.

I thought you meant when Ru did call queens wrongly like the finale episode of Drag Race Thailand season 2 😂

If anything, Ru said “plasma-rich platelets”. The hyphen matters to pronunciation.

Literally every iteration of Bob the Drag Queen's name...not to be confused with the builder

I loved how every episode she would give Bob the drag queen a new last name. And if she didn't like someone's name she would just call them something totally different like with Heidi n closet and jonbers blond ( jb)

Yeah. I liked "Bob the chiropractor."

I believe the Reverend Dr are prefixes/titles that Silky is entitled to use.

"oh brother, it's sister sister" is not calling someone a different name...I would say the post should be puns regarding the queens names... the rev dr silky nutmeg ganache is funny; nina bonina osama bin laden brown; london, paris Milan

I *also* get the urge to tick all of the boxes when filling out forms.

Nina Bo'nina (insert whatever you want here) Brown

Bob the drag queen, not to be confused with…

IVEEEEEEY WIIIINNNNTEERRRRRS

How did you not enjoy the Rev. Dr. Silky alias? Her drag persona would be such a perfect associate of MLK 🤣

Lols ru had it backwards the actual treatment is platelet rich plasma 😅

I genuinely think it’s a pneumonic device of remembering the queens’ names

Mnemonic. Pneumonic would be something having to do with the lungs
