Hyperbolic Obscenity

: Then a group of girls or boys, 14 to 16 years old, gigglingly insults someone they know, using hyperbolic obscenity, according to Globe and Mail. They will describe the disliked girl sex life in detail, for example. The host asks passing teenagers to bait out the biggest paigon they know, or the biggest bowcat or sket or sidechick or stunter or catfish. They will name her and say what part of London she lives in. They are aiming for musical rhythms in their denunciations. Everyone who participates in this casually cruel Saturday-afternoon activity understands it as performance: They almost all take the microphone from the host, look into the camera, and begin a rant that is unmistakeably rap-like.
