I still don't understand what it means when someone is read. I sorta understand it means you got put in your place maybe? but where did the term come from? (disclaimer: I've only seen it on TV shows like RHOA).
Where did all of that Keep Calm and ... crap come from?
I can tell you the history of it. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you how it went from being an unused ad campaign during the fucking Blitz to being peppered on pinterest and hung up in people's houses in all sorts of ways.

I don't know where it originated aside from generic black culture. But it basically means to give someone a dressing down. I guess kind of like reading someone their rights. You lay it all out and there's nothing left to be said.

Sowweh.
Some shop saw the design and re-printed it, and it exploded.

HA! I was totally going to respond to the mustache question with "hipsters" but I figured I needed to provide more information than that!
I can't tell you exactly how the term "getting read for filth" originated, but it started in drag culture, and it basically means dress your ass down. (See also: The library is open.)
Edit: HBC says it started in black culture, so my answer may be wrong! Listen, I should probably watch less RuPaul's Drag Race.
"This prick is asking for someone here to bring him to task Somebody give me some dirt on this vacuous mass so we can at last unmask him I'll pull the trigger on it, someone load the gun and cock it While we were all watching, he got Washington in his pocket."

I think there's a certain amount of overlap between black culture and drag culture so you may very well be right.

For people who don't "get" some of these things, don't context clues help?
The only time I've seen turned down for what was when someone posted a video of people getting hit by a wave while on a boat. That explained nothing to me.

LOL! OK.
Lol yeah. I usually can figure things out but I honestly was lost on that one.
I got turn up in context and I'm sure I would have gotten turn down for what if I listened to that shitty ass song but I'm already salty for allowing myself to learn skeet skeet skeet in context so I figured I would skip anything Lil Jon related that didn't involve Susan Sarandon.
I got turn up in context and I'm sure I would have gotten turn down for what if I listened to that shitty ass soon but I'm already salty for allowing myself to learn skeet skeet skeet in context so I figured I would skip anything Lil Jon related that didn't involve Susan Sarandon.
Chris Rock taught me what "skeet skeet skeet" meant. I can't hear that song anymore. No facials for me, TY.

Oddly, I am far more grossed out by the "til the sweat run down my balls" line in addition to the "till all these bitches crawl" rather than the skeet skeet skeet.
And no, changing bitches to females does not make that line more acceptable.
And none of what I just stated makes it any less hilarious when Susan Sarandon asks Lil Jon if he wants a sandwich.

Whatever, they ain't talkin about me! TIL THE SWEAT, TIL THE SWEAT, MY BALLS, MY BALLS
Because what Chris Rock said about us wimmens is true. We like the foulest sounds as long as it's got a good beat to it.
