Everything’s terrible, but I just saw a video of people discovering ‘ube’, and calling it OOB

To be clear it’s fine if you don’t know how to pronounce it
But if you’re an influencer making videos about some ethnic food you’ve ‘discovered’ i feel like you should find out how to pronounce it (or at least try)
@skinnylatte What if I ironically call it OOB to lovingly irritate my daughter?

@zed oo-bay
@skinnylatte lol that was my second guess after learning oob was wrong.
What’s it taste like ? A quick web search tells me it’s Filipino, if I try and find a Filipino restaurant will they always have it ?

@skinnylatte The amount of white folks who called memes "may-mays" a while ago I could count on all my fingers and toes.

@zed kind of like a type of yam.
Are you in Paris? This place has it. Filipino restaurants may have an ube cake, but ube drinks are trendy now and mostly in cafes; not restaurants
Filipino grocery stores all have ube ice cream

@skinnylatte It's astounding how many people don´t even try, with food but also any other word.
Google translate has a voice synthesizer, you don´t have excuses. Perfection is not required, just a general approximation -

@skinnylatte I'm sure others do it, but the white version of "I don't know what the answer is, but I want to prove I'm smarter than who I'm talking to, so I'm just going to say something."
"It's what you call may-may-tic, you know, viral images."
(Greg Garcia nails this with Raising Hope and Sprung. I love the lines that Martha Plimpton adlibs. "Of course you don't remember it Jimmy, you had ambrosia!")
