605. Escape from the Multicurse: Who Framed Roger Rabbit?
Added 2023-06-30 13:00:11 +0000 UTC
Our three co-hosts are stuck in the multiverse and need to get back to their home universe. Clearly, the only way to do that is to explore our cultural obsession with multiverses, alternate timelines and parallel worlds, and tie it all into a conversation about post-modern art, pop culture, and the lessons these stories teach us. Also, each episode, one of them is an asshole who will probably sabotage the whole thing.
This week we discuss 1988’s Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

2023-07-01 03:58:48 +0000 UTCI think the carrot cake thing holds up to some degree because they are always saying pattycake earlier as a euphemism. The use of cake is probably not related to the slang more people are familiar with today, though it is worth noting that many slang words that get called new are actually pretty old slang words from black communities (see: woke, on god, tea, snatched, thicc, slay, bruh, twerk, bet, low key, cap, hot mess/minute, shade, etc., etc., ad infinitum). Almost all of these phrases are over 20 years old, quite a few are 30-40 years old, and some are at least over 100 years old. I couldn't find evidence of specific use of 'cake' online as we know it now before like 2011, but that's because it was finally used in a popular enough song (how much of AAVE has entered the broader lexicon). There is the slang cake-eater that referred to a ladies' man that dates back to at least the 1920's, and though it could easily be unrelated it is again also worth noting that there many elements of AAVE that preserve more traditional English/American English linguistic elements that are not preserved elsewhere (saying aks instead if ask, for example), so it is not actually that unreasonable a possibility.
