I do have a certain sympathy for people with genuine street cred, having to remain one step ahead of Madison Avenue.
Wait, how can raccoons be black people. I thought dragons were black people.

The term "coon" is a derisive term for black people. Why, I don't know, since raccoons are actually rather light in color.

You know if DCS would have just made up a brand for cool clothes he could have avoided the awkwardness of having people constantly say "Name brand" when talking about cool clothes while also not having to learn what clothes are currently cool

She could have, but it would have doubtless ended up sounding stupid and contrived.
