What is even happening?

I like the Fly By Night. However, I just wonder how many people would start to refer to them as "DriveBys" after a while and not in a nice way.
I took that to be an intentional reference. That is to say, I think you're right Sail, but I a lot of hip hop slang--any slang, really, isn't nice, on purpose.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

But that makes it an even better choice. IMO.

Me too.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

NoBuys.

True. But I wasn't thinking of the hip-hop crowd as using the reference. I'm thinking of assholes like my brother who look for any way to turn something into a derogatory phrase, whether it's against yuppies, African-Americans, Muslims, or any group that is not "one of us." I hadn't even thought of it as something someone might have used with pride. I think I'm turning into an old fuddy-duddy.
