[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought it was a play on the water bottle brand "aquafina".[/quote] This. Never occurred to me that it was somehow a slam on AAs. It doesn’t follow a particularly distinctive AA naming style (like LaXXX or XXXXinsha or second syllable apostrophes). It also doesn’t follow the 1980s inspired tradition of synthesized African-style names like Shaniqua. So what about Awkwafina says AA to you? That it’s an invented name? That it’s a brand name? Neither of those are distinctively AA traits. [/quote] Personally I think when your using aave and putting on an urban persona for your comedy while calling yourself awkwafina, it’s gone beyond just a play on a water brand [/quote]she grew up in Queens, how more urban can she be?
