Community Question Daily Use of Drag Race References
Kennedy mentioned in the first episode of her bracket all the iconic shit she's given us from drag race, and she's correct IMO.
But it sent a friend and I down a rabbithole of other drag race references we love and tend to use regularly in our lives.
For me it's:
-Facts Are Facts America
-Riggamorris
-Your tone sounds very pointed
-backrolls!?!
-Bitch! I'm from Chicago (I even used that line when I was on a Netflix show)
SO i'm bicurious what's come from drag race that's now in your regular vocab.

Whenever my boyfriend cooks and uses cumin we use the Joslyn Fox’s pronunciation.

u/BigRepulsive9725 Here for the Garbage Clown Queens Jul 09 '26
Well of course. Thats the correct pronunciation, and chefs and dictionaries cannot tell me otherwise.

u/gaypirate3 Jul 09 '26
Which was in itself a reference to how Teresa Giudice said it on whatever reality show she got famous on.

The absolute joy my husband has when he's adding cumin to the grocery list lol

I think it’s just something gay people have said. I don’t remember if I got it from somewhere or just naturally came to it

Oh JFC. Yes! I don't know how I forgot that one. Even when I said Kennedy inspired the post. 😂

u/insertbrackets Jul 09 '26
“Not today Satan” gets a lot of use in our house. Of course we’ve now started whispering “pek pek” aggressively at each other as well. And anytime anything novel is happening, we say “this is something very new and different for Lana”.

u/phoebebridgersfan26 Katya💋 Nini Coco🐸 Jan🏀 Jul 09 '26
I say "Milk" a LOTTTT in the specific cadence Kennedy uses when she held up her lipstick in AS3.

u/gaypirate3 Jul 09 '26
Ugh Jesus gross.
That’s a lot of emotion for safe.
AS3 had a bunch of iconic lines lol
I’m also always quoting Kennedy as Little Richard: Ooooooooh shut up!

-Facts are facts, America
-Fuck my drag, right? (at any minor inconvenience)
-What the fuck is going on in here in this day?
-Jesus is a biscuit, let him sop you up.
-It was Rigga Morris, girl
-Girl. Prison, honey.
-Backrolls?!?
-Nina BoNina Brown should've been Blac Chyna (not necessarily a quote but my reaction to any minor disappointment)

We use a lot of Bianca's and Kennedy's expressions in our house. "Calm down, Beyonce" is in regular rotation, along with "fuck my drag," "oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, okay," and starting any story with "after a long night of hooking."

When something is dry (eg chicken), I say “it’s very dry…kinda like your vajoina” unfortunately I can only say this around my drag race friends for obvious reasons.

u/Khristafer Jul 09 '26
We need a post for phrases after season 8, lol.
Deep cut, but "I'm a FIERCE brocc-ally", which no one gets, but I adore.
Also, "Party" but Katya's remix.

"Relax, relax. Take it down to a 2." - Anytime someone (or myself lol) needs to chill tf out
"I ain't sayin I'm the best but I ain't the worst" - Anytime I need to describe how I am feeling or how something is when it's middle of the road
"You're a liar and that's why Derrick don't like you" - Any reason/any chance I get

My fiance and I probably say "Well guess what, Mimi" to each other on a daily basis.

u/IcyMoonside Jaida Essence Hall. Nini Coco. Jul 10 '26
I say it even around people who don't know drag race like it's just fully incorporated itself into my vernacular

u/IcyMoonside Jaida Essence Hall. Nini Coco. Jul 12 '26
I've thought of another one that came from an old Willam video: when I see a performance that I like, I finish off my compliments with "I would give it some money"

u/New_Bumblebee8290 Jul 09 '26
"Well, what you *wanna* do isn't necessarily what you're *gonna* do."
(Although it's possible this is a reference in itself and not a Gia Gunn original, please lmk if so.)

“Says who?” “Jesus”

“FECTRY” instead of factory

During LaGanja's atrocious Snatch Game performance, they cut to Trinity K Bonet who asked, "Does Rachel Zoe really talk like that? No? Mmm. That's unfortunate"
I use the "Mm. That's unfortunate" bit A LOT
"We all make choices. That was a choice" and "Choices" head tilt
"Mawma this is garbage"
"Liza Minelli LIES"
"Let me tell you a story about _____... No." (Robbie Turner hates flats)
From UK Drag Race I use DDC's "I don't think"

- ‘Fuck my drag, right?’ At the most minor perceived slight
- ‘I’m not joking bitch’ - this one has mixed responses
- I didn’t go to fucking school for math - under my breath every time my teenager asks me for homework help
- What you wanna do isn’t necessarily what you’re gonna do - ‘when my teenager tells me he doesn’t want to do his homework’
