Sooo.....what is a G6?

KKM

And how old and *uncool* does it make me that need to ask this?

And if you can help me with what scissor is too I would appreciate it.

Mysterious_wife

I have no idea either.  I guess we can be uncool together. 

Mysterious_wife

Google says a plane.

A G6 is a jet.

I'm not sure, but I automatically think of the Pontiac G6 when I hear that song, and then I wonder who sings about a Pontiac.

This is what I think of too.

ETA: I also work on the G6 airplane, but that's still not the first thing I think of.

Thats what my dh said, but I didnt buy it. 

What about scissor?  I am guessing somekind of drink made of alcohol and cough syrup mix?  Am I way off?

It's a private jet. 

Holla.

Mysterious_wife

I would hope they aren't rapping about getting an old broke down Pontiac G6.  I don't think they are in production anymore.

slizzard : A state of high intoxication from alcohol.

Poppin bottles in the ice,like a blizzard

When we drink, we do it right,

gettin' slizzard Sippin' sizzurp in my ride (in my ride) like Three 6

Now I?m feelin' so fly like a G6

 - Far East Movement, "Like a G6"

I found this on the song...I don't know if its accurate or not though.

 ly like a G6" is probably why you're here... Once again, Mtv is F***ing with you.

Most will say that G6 = Gulfstream G650, a twin-engine aircraft under development by Gulfstream Aerospace shown at the end of the video.

Another term to watch out for is their reference to "Three 6". AKA, The Three (triple six) 6 Mafia. A Hip-Hop group from Memphis, TN.

So what? Well, here it gets tricky. Most are going to do the visual association. It's a Jet or car. They're acting "gangster" and getting "slizzy" (a Southern term for tipsy). But let's remove what you've seen in the video (or 'told to see'), and maybe you'll be enlightened?

Urban Dictionary:
G6
1. "Gaysex" a.k.a. "Goodsex" a code term for guys who act like gay sex is gross just so people think they're homophobic.
2. Something awesome & not disappointing.
3. An electro-hop track called "Like a G6" by FM & the Cataracs (referring to a G6 Jet).


So taking def 1&2 (because we already acknowledge def 3) and getting "slizzy" is also an innuendo for a faux homophobic Southern drunk, who apparently isn't awesome, but not disappointing either. (like most drunks are) Meanwhile, the Three Six Mafia is from... so put it together:

"Like a G6" = "Like a Southern faux-homo drunk who's gonna let you down."

If you think I'm reading too much into it, then you're not giving Mtv enough credit. You MUST take into consideration who is paying who, and getting rich off of whom. But it gets ~VERY~ complicated when you add Three 6 Mafia (Southern) to the FM (F.E.M, and get this, they're Asian American) and The Cataracs (Californian). It gets worse: Snoop Dog and the Kardashians are involved. In fact, they've probably featured the song on the show, or are in the midst of producing one.

So, let's review:

1. Let's 'fly' (act out, or pretend to be) like a faux drunk homophobic Southern. Even though we're Asian...
2. Make enough money to get on a plane and go to Cali.
3. Sell-out like a Kardashian. Rinse, wash, repeat.

Go ahead and shout racism, but the truth is, Mtv is well known to slip it by the censors. (see Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, 3Oh!3, etc.) It's their job. They hire psychiatrists for that sole purpose - To pinpoint their target audience.

Now let's get slizzy and fly our G6... :-S

Pontiac?

This. If it's not a Pontiac I don't know what you're talking about.

And...Scissor Sisters?

I should also note that the Gulfstream G650 (G6) is not in production yet.  We are still doing flight tests with them.  So I'm not sure how they can be riding in a G6 yet.

Lambie.

It's slizzard (drunk) not scissor.

The scissor thing just makes me think of South Park. But that's probably not it either, LOL.

I understand all the lyrics but disapprove because it's condoning drinking and driving.

Or at least having open containers in the car.  

Gah.  I am such a goody two shoes.

I think it would be tough to find an old broke down G6... they were in production from 2005-2010 (when the company went under).  I just traded in my '05 and I loved it. 

SarahTx5701

lmao at this whole thread.

Dh had to fill me in the other day too on a "g6", since they had the discussion at work about it too and everyone was confused.

I guess the song is really making everyone think!!!

and learn about private jets...haha
