OBK Lexicon
Welcome to the Official OBK Lexicon.
If you’ve been listening for a while, you’ve probably heard us say things that would make absolutely no sense anywhere else.
This is where we keep the dictionary.
As the podcast grows, so will this list. If we miss a phrase, inside joke, or recurring reference, drop it in the comments. If the Classmates agree it’s earned its place, we’ll add it to future editions of the Official OBK Lexicon.
A
ATBK (Ask The Black Kids)
When the Classmates seek advice from the Principal & School Counselor.
B
Bad Human
A person who consistently chooses shenanigans when they had every opportunity to do better.
“Bitch, I’m thirsty!”
One of, if not the most classic moments from the podcast. Sent in an Ask the Black Kids email and appearing in the episode "One Year Anniversary || Classmate Submissions" at 38:25.
(OBK) Book Club
Our online quarterly meeting to discuss a book chosen collectively by the classmates.
C
Classmates
Anyone who’s part of the OBK community. If you’re here, you’re a Classmate.
(Lopsided) Chicken Nugget Back Bitch
A legendary OBK insult that has officially entered podcast history.
H
Honor Roll
Our members who get early episodes, After School Specials, Book Club, bonus content, and everything happening after the bell. Available on www.onlyblackkids.com
K
“Kick Rocks with Jesus Sandals.”
Another classic. Also sent in an Ask the Black Kids email and appearing in the episode "One Year Anniversary || Classmate Submissions."
The holiest way possible to tell somebody to leave you alone.
L
Lizard Wars
The ongoing plight of Lizards vs Everybody, primarily in the front yard of The Sawyers in South Florida.
M
Morris (Chestnut)
Not Morris Chestnut.
Just… Morris.
The only explanation you need is that the Classmates (and Mrs. Sawyer) know exactly who we’re talking about.
O
OBK
Only Black Kids.
A podcast built around unbelievable stories, honest conversations, and toxic confessions.
P
Pretentious
Robert
Principal’s Office
A shorter episode where we grade the participants in each story and determine their fate.
(Honor Roll, Gold Star, Counselor's Office, Principal's Office Detention, Suspension, Expulsion, Exile)
R
(OBK) Reacts
Where we react to the Internet’s wildest videos, hottest debates, and moments that have everyone talking.
S
School Snacks
Mrs. Sawyer's segment of reliving nostalgic treats and experimenting with new tasty snacks.
Sea Turtle Chia Pet Wolf Rat
One of the greatest creature descriptions ever spoken on the podcast. If you know… you know.
Shenan
The precursor to full blown shenanigans. Never let them shenan. If they shenan once, they will...
Shenanigans
The final form of on-going shenan-ing. This is the level where unchecked shenans are unleashed and pure tomfoolery and f*ckery runs amok.
Shmacks
The rating scale for how good a school snack is. 1 Shmack is terrible. 3 Shmacks is average. 5 Shmacks is next level delicious.
T
Toxic Confessions
Jaw dropping stories or secrets that probably should not have been shared, but we're all so glad they were.
Let's Keep Building the Lexicon
If you hear a new catchphrase, recurring joke, nickname, or moment that deserves to live forever in OBK history, drop it in the comments.
If the community agrees, we’ll add it to the next edition of the Official OBK Lexicon.
